Hope River Ranch

What Hope River Ranch does

Hope River Ranch, LLC is a single-site inpatient addiction treatment provider operating out of Henefer, Utah, on more than 2,500 acres of private mountain land near Park City. The company was founded in 2023–2024 by Dr. Julie Dee and Dr. Mike Dee, both physicians who bring direct personal experience with substance use disorder and recovery to the program design and clinical culture. The core offering is a residential treatment program for adults with substance use disorders (alcohol and drug addiction), augmented by a dual diagnosis track for co-occurring mental health conditions, a family-centered healing component that integrates family members into the recovery process, and a set of experiential therapies (equine-assisted therapy, art therapy, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, horseback riding, gardening, cooking, photography) layered on top of evidence-based clinical care. An aftercare and alumni program provides ongoing reunions, workshops, retreats, and community engagement to support long-term sobriety after discharge.

The underlying technology and platform are described as non-proprietary: the company has no custom digital health platform, no AI/ML tooling, and no patient-facing app, with delivery relying on traditional in-person clinical and experiential modalities on the ranch grounds. The business model is direct-to-consumer inpatient treatment fees paid by patients and families; service pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based on inquiry, while a $112,500 minimum-per-investor exempt securities offering (SEC Form D, April 2024) raised up to $15,675,000 in capital. The facility is in pre-operational build-out — the website carried a 'Coming Soon' banner, a groundbreaking ceremony was held August 25, 2025, and construction is expected to take approximately two years. Geographic scope is regional (northern Utah) and customer acquisition runs through direct contact forms, phone, email, and private tours rather than institutional referrals. The management team comprises the two founder-physicians, a CEO, a clinical director, a director of communications, and supporting therapists, outreach, support, and recreation staff.
