Provo Canyon School is a private youth behavioral-health facility in Utah. Its official site describes the program as an intensive psychiatric residential treatment center with separate services for middle-school and high-school-age youth, including gender- and age-specific programs at a boys campus in Provo and a girls campus in Springville. The school says it uses an "Acuity Based Care" model with psychiatric assessment, medication monitoring, individual, group and family therapy, on-site school services, recreation, and a contained campus setting; it also lists accreditation by The Joint Commission and Cognia.

Founded in 1971, Provo Canyon School has long operated as a residential treatment center in Utah. The school states that Universal Health Services took ownership in August 2000, and UHS career listings describe Provo Canyon School as operated by a UHS subsidiary (official site, UHS careers listing). Public descriptions of the current campus arrangement list a Provo boys campus and a Springville girls campus; the official site gives addresses for both campuses.

The program's status changed in mid-2026. In June 2026, the official Provo Canyon School homepage stated that the Provo boys campus was on a conditional license and could not accept new admissions. In July 2026, Utah news organizations reported that the Department of Health and Human Services revoked the Springville campus license and later that Provo Canyon School was appealing state orders affecting both programs (Daily Herald, The Salt Lake Tribune). Those reports describe an appeal process, so the July 2026 actions are best read as licensing and enforcement developments rather than a completed permanent closure.

Provo Canyon School has also been part of wider scrutiny of youth residential treatment facilities. In 2024, the U.S. Senate Finance Committee released Warehouses of Neglect, a staff report on four large residential-treatment providers, including UHS; UHS published a response disputing the report's characterizations and defending its residential-treatment services (Senate report, UHS response).
