Cirque Lodge

Cirque Lodge is a for-profit addiction facility located in Sundance, Utah founded in 1999 by Richard Losee. In 2002, Cirque Lodge opened a second facility in Orem, Utah in a former television studio.[1] The facilities combined hold a maximum of 56 patients.[2]

Program

The Cirque Lodge program is based on the Alcoholics Anonymous traditional twelve-step program. The treatment incorporates "experiential therapy", including activities such as skiing and fishing .[3][4] The program includes both group and individual psychotherapy.[2] As of August 2007, the 30-day treatment costs an average of US$30,000.[2] While celebrities are known to frequent the lodge, it also hosts less high-profile and affluent patients and has offered scholarships to patients who could not afford treatment.[5]
