Provo Rehabilitation & Nursing is the leading mental health center in the country providing deeply caring, comprehensive treatment to individuals struggling with the devastating impacts and overwhelming challenges of trauma.

We are on the cutting edge of treatment, as everything being done has a very clinically specific intent to assist the client's deepest healing.

The clinical team believes the research states that statistically at the root of most issues and behaviors, there is unprocessed trauma and emotional wounding.

This unresolved material causes a host of problems and unlike many programs, Provo Rehab & Nursing focuses on these wounds and the emotions associated, rather than just the behaviors and symptoms that the clients present with.

We provide residential and outpatient programs where our staff oversees and supports our clients in a safe environment.

Provo Rehab & Nursing specializes in First Responder and Professional Wellness. Our clinical team has extensive experience assisting first responders, nurses, teachers, and medical personnel with PTSD, anxiety, cumulative stress, behavioral addictions, and substance abuse.

We understand how to apply the most effective and comprehensive treatments, and therapies, to help these individuals heal the invisible wounds brought on by the trauma of their profession.
