Outpatient Care That Empowers Responsibility in Young People

Treatment focuses on the unique needs of teens and young adults navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. Programs are age-specific, meaning therapy is grounded in the pressures and realities of adolescence and early adulthood. The flexibility of outpatient care offers structured support while continuing with school, work, or family responsibilities. Evidence-based therapies help clients regulate emotions, address trauma, and build sustainable coping skills for long-term recovery.

Peer Connection Fosters Support and Sober Social Outings

These sessions give parents and loved ones concrete ways to support progress while maintaining healthy boundaries. Small group sizes allow peers to form authentic connections, reducing the isolation that often accompanies substance use and mental health struggles. After treatment, the alumni program and ongoing peer events create a safety net of sober support that continues long after clients leave the program.

Preparing Clients with Tools for Independence After Treatment

For teens, staying on track with coursework during treatment helps reduce the stress of falling behind. For young adults, vocational counseling provides tools to set career goals, practice life skills, and gain confidence in re-entering school or the workforce. By blending therapy with educational and career support, the program ensures recovery is not only about sobriety but also about building a stable and meaningful future.

Healing in the Calming Colorado Landscape

The outpatient facility is easily accessible for many communities at the foot of the Rockies. The light-filled office space is welcoming, while encouraging both privacy and connection with peers. The nearby mountains offer a calming presence before and after sessions.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
