Care that treats you like a person

Here in Lakewood, help starts with a conversation – not an automated menu or a rehearsed pitch. When you call, someone on our team picks up and gives you their full attention, because we believe the way you’re treated in that first moment sets the tone for everything that follows.

Substance use and mental health don’t stay confined to any one neighborhood, and Jefferson County is no exception. Statewide, Colorado records over 1,800 overdose deaths annually, and mental illness touches roughly one in five adults across the county each year. What troubles us most is how many of those people never find their way to treatment – held back by cost, stigma, or simply not knowing where to turn. We built our approach around removing those barriers.

That’s why everything we do runs on outpatient scheduling, with groups that meet during the day and in the evening. You shouldn’t have to walk away from your job, pause your education, or step back from your family to get well – recovery should fit into the life you’re already living in Lakewood, not replace it. We also treat your privacy as non-negotiable, from the first ring of the phone through every session after.

And we won’t let insurance become the thing that stops you. Before you make any decision, we’ll sit down and translate your coverage and options into language that actually makes sense, so you can see a realistic path forward instead of a wall of unknowns.

You don't have to be at your worst to ask for help.

We’ll have someone who listens without judging call you right back!

Alcoholism, or alcohol use disorder (AUD), is a chronic condition where a person can’t control their drinking despite negative consequences to their health, relationships, or daily life. It ranges from mild to severe and is recognized as a treatable medical condition.

Common signs include drinking more or longer than intended, unsuccessful attempts to cut back, strong cravings, neglecting responsibilities, continued drinking despite problems, needing more alcohol to feel the same effect (tolerance), and experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not drinking.

There’s no single cause. Genetics, family history, mental health conditions, trauma, environment, and drinking patterns all contribute. Many people develop AUD through a combination of these factors.

Alcohol abuse refers to harmful drinking patterns, while addiction (dependence) involves physical and psychological reliance on alcohol, including cravings and withdrawal. Addiction is generally more severe and requires medical support to address safely.

Warning signs include drinking to cope with stress or emotions, hiding your drinking, feeling unable to stop, prioritizing alcohol over other activities, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms. If drinking is affecting your life and you can’t stop, it may be time to seek help.

Yes, it can be. Severe alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures, hallucinations, and a life-threatening condition called delirium tremens (DTs). This is why medically supervised detox is strongly recommended rather than quitting alone.

Some people recover with support groups, therapy, or medication alone. However, professional treatment significantly improves outcomes, especially for moderate to severe addiction, and medically supervised detox is safest.

Common program lengths are 30, 60, and 90 days, though some people benefit from longer stays. Research shows that longer treatment durations often lead to better long-term outcomes.

Inpatient (residential) rehab provides 24/7 care in a live-in facility, ideal for severe addiction or unstable home environments. Outpatient rehab allows you to live at home while attending scheduled treatment, offering more flexibility for work and family.

Costs vary widely based on program type, length, location, and amenities. Outpatient programs are generally more affordable than residential, and many facilities offer payment plans, sliding-scale fees, or accept insurance to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

Options include medically supervised detox, inpatient and outpatient rehab, behavioral therapies (like CBT), medication-assisted treatment, support groups, and ongoing aftercare. Effective treatment usually combines several approaches.

Yes. Research shows that most people who receive treatment reduce their drinking and improve their quality of life. Like any chronic condition, ongoing management and support improve long-term success.

Aftercare is key to maintaining recovery. This may include continued therapy, support groups (like AA or SMART Recovery), sober living homes, and relapse-prevention strategies to help you stay on track long-term.
