Is anyone familiar with the Outback Treatment Center for troubled teens located in Lehi, UT? I'm wondering if it has any Mormon slant to its philosophy since it's located in central Utah. Any personal experiences would be very appreciated.

I have worked professionally with Outback and a few other companies like them. I know several directors of programs like Outback.

I think the only mormon slant that comes in is a lot of the people that run the programs are mormon. But, a lot of them aren't. And, the mormons I have met that work at these companies have been the most laid back, tolerate mormons I have ever met.

I think the main reason there are so many companies like Outback here in Utah, other than the great geography, is that state laws are lax enough to allow teens to be held at those programs against their will.
