"Second Nature is an impressive program from top to bottom. From the first person I talked to in admissions and every person after, I could not have been more impressed with the care and service we received. Our daughter’s therapist masterfully guided our family through the program and the results for all of us were profound and life changing. I can’t say enough about our experience. We are forever grateful.”

Covid-19 Infomation
We are informed by the CDC's recommendations and have implemented a plan that focuses on prevention, assessment, and intervention. We are taking steps to reduce larger group contact, increasing the sanitizing of surfaces and hands constantly, and are assessing for symptoms regularly. We are also taking a mindful stance, guided by the CDC, that many more people are impacted fatally each year by the flu and the majority of those are elderly and/or with underlying health issues. We reference this only to provide perspective, not to marginalize those affected by illness. We are approaching this with calm but focused education and response. We will continue to be informed by and respond to the CDC as well as the Utah Department of Health.
