UPAN Monthly Meeting | Topic: Addiction Recovery, Reentry & Reducing Recidivism | Special Guest: Tyler S. Hansen, President, Steps Recovery Centers
Join us for a compelling conversation with Tyler Hansen, President and Co‑Owner of Steps Recovery Centers, Utah’s largest private addiction recovery provider. A powerful speaker and advocate, Tyler shares his lived experience overcoming a decade-long heroin and opiate addiction, incarceration in Utah State Prison, and over 11 years of sobriety.
Today, Tyler leads an expansive network of recovery centers offering services like medical detox, inpatient and outpatient treatment, and reentry support. His work bridges the gap between addiction treatment and criminal justice reform, with a strong focus on reducing recidivism and creating second-chance pathways for those impacted by the justice system.
Tyler’s efforts have earned him recognition as an Honorary Colonel for the Utah County Sheriff’s Office and a full pardon by the Utah Board of Pardons. He frequently partners with the Utah Department of Corrections (UDC), Adult Probation & Parole (AP&P), and county jails across the state.
Whether you’re a family member, advocate, or someone impacted by incarceration, this session will offer hope, real-world strategies, and a chance to engage with a leader who has lived both sides of the justice system.
