1. An exhaust treatment device comprising: an outer housing including opposite first and second end walls and a length that extends between the first and second end walls, the outer housing also including a side wall that extends along the length from the first end wall to the second end wall, the outer housing defining an interior space;a divider wall within the interior space of the outer housing, the divider wall being positioned at an intermediate location along the length of the outer housing, the divider wall separating the interior space of the outer housing into a first region and a second region, the first region being defined between the divider wall and the first end wall and the second region being defined between the divider wall and the second end wall;a device inlet that is in fluid communication with the first region of the interior space;a device outlet that is in fluid communication with the second region of the interior space;an exhaust treatment substrate mounted in the second region of the interior space;an exhaust treatment and mixing assembly including: a swirl chamber positioned adjacent to the first end wall of the outer housing;a mixing passage defined by an inner conduit that extends along the length of the outer housing, the mixing passage providing fluid communication between the swirl chamber and the second region of the interior space;a swirl concentrator for intensifying swirl within the inner conduit, the swirl concentrator being connected to the inner conduit and defining a flow opening having a cross-dimension CD1 that is smaller than a corresponding cross-dimension CD2 of the inner conduit;an exhaust passage that surrounds the inner conduit, the exhaust passage being configured to direct exhaust flow into the swirl chamber;a swirl structure for swirling the exhaust flow directed from the exhaust passage into the swirl chamber; anda dispenser mounting location provided at the first end wall of the outer housing for mounting a dispenser used for dispensing a reactant into the swirl chamber, the dispenser mounting location being upstream of the swirl concentrator. 2. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the device inlet is defined through the side wall of the outer housing. 3. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the exhaust passage that surrounds the inner conduit has an inlet end spaced from the divider wall by an axial gap. 4. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the dispenser is mounted at the dispenser mounting location, the dispenser being configured for dispensing the reactant into the swirl chamber. 5. The exhaust treatment device of claim 4, wherein an upstream face of the treatment substrate is spaced less than 750 millimeters from the dispenser mounting location. 6. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the device inlet is provided at an axial position that at least partially axially overlaps inner conduit. 7. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the exhaust treatment substrate is a NOx treatment substrate. 8. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the exhaust treatment substrate is ring-shaped and defines a hollow interior, wherein the inner conduit extends through the hollow interior of the exhaust treatment substrate, and wherein exhaust reverses direction after passing through the inner conduit and flows through a media of the exhaust treatment substrate for treatment before reaching the device outlet. 9. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the exhaust treatment substrate includes multiple substrates arranged in series. 10. The exhaust treatment device of claim 9, wherein the multiple substrates include at least one filter and at least one SCR substrate. 11. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the flow opening is aligned along a central axis of the inner conduit. 12. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the swirl concentrator includes a ring-shaped plate that defines the flow opening. 13. The exhaust treatment device of claim 1, wherein the dispenser is mounted at the dispenser mounting location, wherein the swirl concentrator has an upstream side, and wherein the dispenser is positioned and configured to inhibit reactant spray from impinging upon the upstream side of the swirl concentrator. 14. The exhaust treatment device of claim 13, wherein the dispenser sprays the reactant in a spray pattern, wherein the spray pattern is sprayed through the flow opening, and wherein the spray pattern has a diameter at the swirl concentrator that is less than or equal to the cross-dimension CD1. 15. The exhaust treatment device of claim 14, wherein the spray pattern is conical. 16. A mixing arrangement comprising; a conduit defining a central longitudinal axis;a swirl structure disposed external of the conduit for swirling exhaust about the central longitudinal axis;a swirl concentrator disposed within the conduit for intensifying swirl within the conduit, the swirl concentrator defining a flow opening aligned with the central longitudinal axis, the flow opening having a cross-dimension CD1 that is smaller than a corresponding cross-dimension CD2 of a passage of the conduit;the swirl structure being located upstream from the swirl concentrator; anda reactant dispenser positioned upstream from the swirl concentrator, the reactant dispenser being configured to spray reactant along the central longitudinal axis and through the flow opening, the reactant dispenser being positioned and configured such that the reactant spray does not impinge upon an upstream side of the swirl concentrator. 17. The mixing arrangement of claim 16, wherein the dispenser sprays the reactant in a spray pattern, wherein the spray pattern is sprayed through the flow opening, and wherein the spray pattern has a diameter at the swirl concentrator that is less than or equal to the cross-dimension CD1. 18. The mixing arrangement of claim 17, wherein the spray pattern is conical. 19. The mixing arrangement of claim 16, wherein the conduit extends from a first end to a second end, the first end of the conduit located at the swirl structure and the second end of the conduit being spaced from the swirl structure, wherein the swirl concentrator is disposed towards the first end of the conduit.
