RedCliff Ascent, Enterprise
About RedCliff Ascent – Enterprise
RedCliff Ascent is a wilderness therapy program for boys and girls aged thirteen to seventeen, founded in 1993 and based at 709 East Main Street in Enterprise, Utah, with its field program running in the high desert of Washington County. It is privately owned and for-profit, licensed through the Utah Division of Licensing and Background Checks, and the program states that it is fully licensed in the state.
The format is the thing to understand first. This is a twenty-four-hour outdoor program with a thirty-day minimum stay, so a young person lives in the field rather than in a building, and an admission is a commitment of at least a month from the outset. Both boys and girls are admitted, and the clinical work on record is family therapy and experiential therapy.
What is treated is less clear than the format. RedCliff’s homepage lists substance use disorders among the conditions it addresses, but no specific substances are named and no mental health diagnoses are on record, so this record cannot confirm whether a particular condition would be accepted. Eric Fawson, LCSW, is executive director, Dr Bill Bunn is medical director in psychiatry and Bob Brown, LCSW, is clinical director.

Treatment Services at RedCliff Ascent
No formal level of care is on record, which reflects what wilderness therapy is rather than a gap in the program: the model is a continuous outdoor living environment with staff present around the clock, and the thirty-day minimum is a floor rather than a typical stay. Family therapy and experiential therapy are the named clinical components, and the program runs for both boys and girls.
The admissions package is unusually specific. The daily rate quoted on the phone covers a physical examination, development of the treatment plan and a psychosocial assessment, so a young person is assessed medically and clinically at the start rather than simply placed in the field. Enrollment runs through admissions on 801-921-8488, with Darcy Holt directing admissions and outreach for the program.
A good deal is unpublished and worth asking about. There is no stated typical length of stay beyond the minimum, no list of conditions treated, no therapy schedule and no account of what follows the field program. For a parent, the questions that matter most are what the average stay actually runs to, how the handover to home or a next placement is handled, and what happens if a young person deteriorates.

RedCliff Ascent Address, Location and Contact Information
The program’s address is 709 East Main Street, Enterprise, Utah 84725, in Washington County, in high desert country. The field program operates out in that desert setting rather than at the street address, which serves as the program base. Federal provider data also lists a South Main Street address in Springville, treated here as an office for the same operator rather than a second treatment site.
Distances on record are Saint George, 33 miles south, and Hurricane, 36 miles south-east; no others are published. Because a young person is in the field rather than at a fixed building, do not plan a visit around the street address: ask admissions on 801-921-8488 where parents actually go for family work, and how a parent reaches their child or the clinical team between those visits.

How Much Does Treatment at RedCliff Ascent Cost?
RedCliff charges a daily rate and will quote it only by phone; nothing is published. That rate covers the initial physical examination, treatment plan development and psychosocial assessment, so the first day carries more content than the days that follow. The number for a quote is 801-921-8488, and the arithmetic to do on that call is the daily rate against a realistic stay, not the thirty-day minimum.
Families pay directly here. Private insurance is not accepted and there is no in-network arrangement or named carrier; what the program offers instead is help with billing your insurer afterwards for possible reimbursement, which depends on medical necessity being met. Medicaid is not mentioned in the published payment information at all. Assistance with a claim is not coverage, and the money leaves your account either way.
Two routes exist for families who cannot fund a placement outright. Third-party financing runs through Prosper Healthcare Lending and Optimum Practice Financial, and scholarships are available through Choose Mental Health and Sky’s the Limit Fund. For context only, private-pay residential treatment across Utah runs roughly $6,000 to $25,000 a month statewide; that is a market range, not RedCliff’s rate, and a daily-rate field program may sit outside it.

RedCliff Ascent – Enterprise — Compiled From Public Records

RedCliff Ascent Reviews
Licensing is held through the Utah Division of Licensing and Background Checks, and the program states that it is fully licensed in the state; no license number is published and the state register was not reachable in this pass, so there is no number to check here. RedCliff bills under NPI 1922139245 and is privately owned and for-profit, with no non-profit filings under the company name.
Several badges appear on the website without a verifiable record behind them. A Joint Commission mark and an Association for Experiential Education accreditation for outdoor behavioral healthcare are both shown as logos only, alongside NATSAP membership and a Cognia badge for the academic side. For a wilderness program, the outdoor behavioral healthcare accreditation is the one most worth asking the program to evidence directly.
The information here is drawn from state licensing and federal provider records together with RedCliff’s own published material, which is why the payment detail is specific and the clinical detail is thin. No reviews have been left for RedCliff Ascent on RehabSeekers yet. A parent who has been through a field placement here could tell the next family what those thirty days were actually like.
