Experience compassionate, evidence-based care for suicidal ideation and self-harm that supports healing of the mind, body, and soul.
| Passive Suicidal Ideation | Active Suicidal Ideation |
|---|---|
| Ongoing thoughts about death, dying, suicide, not necessarily with a plan to intend or act | Making a plan, active threats, or preparations to commit suicide |
| Ex: “I wish I wouldn’t wake up tomorrow and would die instead.” | Ex: “I am going to kill myself tonight, and I have a plan to do so.” |
| Lower risk that may not require immediate hospitalization, but can benefit from outpatient treatment to prevent escalation | High-risk and dangerous, often requires immediate hospitalization or inpatient residential treatment |
There are several factors that can increase the risk of suicide and are considered during a clinical assessment for suicidal ideation and self-harm. According to the CDC, the official list of risk factors for suicide includes:
We offer several evidence-based, clinically supported mental health therapies to address suicidal ideation and self-harm.
Individual therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) address negative core beliefs about oneself or others that contribute to distress. These help patients build skills to regulate emotions and practice impulse control to reduce self-harm behaviors and suicidal thinking.
Group therapy offers a source of emotional support and can reduce isolation in those struggling with suicidal ideation and self-harm. In a group therapy setting, patients can form connections with others who face similar struggles. They will also improve their coping skills under the guidance of a licensed therapist who leads each group.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) are both trauma-informed therapies to help patients quickly process and integrate traumatic memories that drive suicidal thoughts and self-harm. These are effective in reducing emotional distress and trauma-related suicidal thinking and behaviors.
Family therapy is effective in reducing suicidal ideation by improving family dynamics in the home and skills such as communication, trust, and emotional boundaries. Strengthening family relationships and problem-solving in the home creates a strong foundation to protect against mental health crises and suicidal thoughts.
Alongside therapy, we offer supplemental holistic healing approaches using a functional medicine approach to address the underlying causes of mental health challenges and support comprehensive healing from suicidal ideation and self-harm.
Functional medicine and genetic testing offer promising approaches to treating suicidal ideation and self-harm by addressing the biological and genetic factors that contribute to mental health vulnerabilities. These aim to identify and address underlying physiological imbalances, such as inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, and hormonal disruptions, that affect brain health.
Nutritional psychiatry focuses on helping patients build a well-balanced diet that supports brain function, mood regulation, and emotional resilience. Recreational therapies like yoga, equine horse therapy, and hiking are restorative activities to reduce stress, improve mood, increase body awareness, and build social connections.
Creative arts and expressive therapies, such as art, music, and dance, offer powerful healing pathways for those struggling with suicidal ideation and self-harm by providing nonverbal ways to process and express emotions. These can reduce mental pain, build self-compassion, and promote emotional regulation by engaging the senses and fostering self-awareness.
Integrates healing of the mind, body, and spirit to address the deeper causes of suicidal ideation and self-harm.
Treatments are designed to address trauma at its root, which often influences suicidal thoughts and self-harm behaviors.
Accelerated resolution, EMDR, neurofeedback, and ketamine therapy offer new pathways for trauma breakthroughs and emotional healing.
Equine therapy, yoga nidra, art, and music therapy encourage emotional expression and opportunities to build connections with others in recovery.
Combines mental health treatment with physical health interventions and a gut-brain diet to reduce inflammation and heal brain chemistry.
Clients receive two individual therapy sessions per week, more than the standard, ensuring more personalized care and progress.
We ensure a safe environment that welcomes all gender identities and trained staff who are dedicated to promoting self-acceptance and respect.
We are recognized as a top provider in Utah for mental health care with private rooms, meditation spaces, gardens, an on-site fitness center, and biosound lounge.
Yes, we accept most major insurance plans. Contact our admissions team to learn more about your plan and verify your benefits.
We offer several levels of care to support you no matter where you are in the recovery journey. For those experiencing crisis or severe symptoms of self-harm or suicidal ideation, residential treatment provides a safe and stable environment with 24/7 support to ensure safety.
For mild to moderate mental health challenges and self-harm behavior, we offer several outpatient programs, including PHP and IOP, which offer increased flexibility so you can receive daily treatment and still return home in the evenings.
There is no specific medication to treat self-harm and suicidal ideation; however, if you struggle with underlying mental health challenges such as depression or bipolar disorder, medication can be helpful to manage symptoms. During your initial assessment, a clinical care team consisting of mental health professionals and psychiatric providers can help determine the best course of action.
If you have a loved one struggling with self-harm, remember to approach them with empathy and avoid judgment. Encourage them to connect with professional resources while respecting their boundaries. Being patient with them and reminding them you are there for support can go a long way in the healing journey of a loved one.

Maple Mountain Recovery has changed my life. The staff is loving, kind, and they make the environment safe for everyone. Unlike other treatment centers, they individualize your treatment according to your needs. This place is a second home to me and I consider the staff and clients my second family. I’m going to miss this place so much. ❤️
I would give Maple Mountain health and wellness 10+ stars if I could! Going there was the best thing I have ever done for myself in my whole life. I highly recommend this facility for anyone dealing with trauma. The modalities of therapy offered were life-changing. I learned many new life skills, and have tools to bring home as I continue my healing and recovery journey. I felt like I was in a safe, beautiful home with the most loving, caring, and kind staff you could ever ask for. The best part is that I made lifelong friends that I will cherish forever. The entire program is incredibly well structured, the staff and therapists are very knowledgeable and kudos to the chefs, as the food was not only nutritious, but phenomenal! Aside from the educational groups that range from group processing, yoga Nidra, sound bath, nutrition and wellness, equine and music therapy (my personal favorites) DBT, CBT, and stress management were incredibly valuable, and I learned so much from these programs. Jen was the first person I spoke with, and I knew in our conversation that this was the right place for me. I was warmly welcomed right from the beginning, and knew this journey would be healing and memorable. We also were able to have a lot of fun with the experiential activities they carefully planned for us. Special kudos to Vikki, who went out of her way to give me the care and tools for me to maintain my recovery. I am forever grateful to every single person at Maple Mountain recovery. I researched the entire country for two weeks to find this place, and it was worth that time because they deserve every rave review they get! Super highly recommended and feel free to reach out if you have any questions! Thank you so much to everyone at MMR! I will never forget you and love you all💜
Maple Mountain Recovery in Utah completely exceeded my expectations. From day one, their team created a highly personalized treatment plan tailored just for me—every session felt tailored to my needs.
The Staff are so friendly and helpful, I am able to work on a lot of the traumas and life events that have happened to me that have caused turmoil for many years. They also have helped me find a new way of viewing myself and how to move on with my life and find new chapters for me to write for myself. I am so thankful for Maple Mountain Recovery.
I’ve been to several treatment centers and this place is by far the best place I’ve ever been! The staff has been wonderful and attentive to all my needs. Maple Mountain Recovery has literally saved my life and I’m a better person today because of them! I have a lot of love and respect for this place and the people there!

Coming to a place like MMR can be stressful and scary, especially when already emotionally all over the place, but I will forever be grateful for finding this place. I don’t have enough positive words to describe just how thankful I am. Every single person on the staff is so incredible that they easily helped me get through my anxiety about being in residential treatment. They are all so caring and compassionate that it was easier than I ever thought possible. The group and individual sessions were thorough and enlightening, too. I’ve also never had such delicious and healthy meals. I’m going to be disappointed in my own cooking now 🙃
My journey at MMR has been life changing. I honestly don’t know where to begin!
This is my 5th treatment center in 2 years for alcoholism but this is the first place that has targeted the trauma linked to it. I’m so impressed with the differences in MMR from previous centers.
The best way I can describe it is “family style treatment”. The staff becomes like family, it’s a tight community of folks who honestly care about your recovery. The therapists and case managers are out of this world amazing! Very rarely do you get to know your case manager on a personal level. Here, they become a major part of your recovery and help look at every aspect of your life and how they can help.
I could go on and on about the incredible benefits of MMR but would just highly recommend giving it a try!
I arrived at Maple Mountain Recovery feeling lost and overwhelmed, but from the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and understanding. The personalized approach to treatment made all the difference for me. Each staff member truly took the time to listen to my story and tailored their support around my needs. The diverse range of activities—from mindfulness meditation to equine therapy—helped me explore new avenues of healing. I formed deep connections with fellow residents and staff, creating a supportive network that I will cherish forever. Maple Mountain Recovery isn’t just a treatment center; it’s a place of healing and hope. I’m so grateful for the journey I embarked on here, and I am leaving with not just tools for recovery, but lasting friendships. Thank you, MMR!
