About Creative Counseling Services
Creative Counseling Services is a mental health and addiction treatment center for adults in Fort Collins, Colorado. They provide general, enhanced, and intensive outpatient services to help you work through your challenges and reclaim your life. You can visit them in person or connect with a counselor virtually through their telehealth program.
Counseling gives you the opportunity to learn more about addiction and understand some of the issues and events that might be triggering your drug or alcohol use. As you talk about your condition, your counselor can provide advice and teach you healthier ways to cope with problems as they arise. They’ll also show you ways to prevent a relapse in the future.
You can attend your sessions on your own or in a group. They offer gender specific groups for men and women who have been through trauma, as well as specialty groups that focus on certain topics. For example, there’s a group that talks mostly about wellness and recovery and another that centers on anger management.
Something I find interesting about this facility is that they also provide therapy and education for people who are facing legal repercussions for driving under the influence. You might be required to attend these courses if you’re facing a DUI charge.
A former client calls this the best recovery agency in the state. Another says her counselor was empathetic, knowledgeable, and personable.

I cannot recommend Creative Counseling enough. They have the best team of therapists there! Amber, Hailey, Daniel and Tiffany are amazing! I couldn t have asked for anything more from any of them. I ve been in classes since 2023 and at first it seemed like a chore that I didn t want to do but it wasn t like that for long. After a few months, I found myself looking forward to my classes because they really do everything that the classes are meant to do. I am beyond grateful for the treatment I received! Definitely worth every penny!

Thank you Amanda for taking the time to leave us a review. We are so happy to hear that your experience was positive. We wish you the very best!
Josh is absolutely an incredible therapist whether you have had a dui or not. Has helped me more in a few sessions than 30 years of psychologists and psychiatrists combined without writing a single prescription. If you re at a spot of struggle in your life, I would absolutely recommend you give him a try! If you have got yourself a dui and are doing classes here, Carol and Breanna are both a big step above any of the other group counselors at other agencies I tried out. CCS also accepts medicaid for the classes and individual therapy which can really be a lifesaver. I wish you all the best luck in your journey and really embrace the process for what it is worth. I m staying enrolled with josh despite being done with the requirements for my dui probation and literally believe he was placed in my life by divine forces. I m actually unbelievably impressed with my experience here. They have things most definitely figured out how to come up with a plan to help you.

Thank you for taking the time to share. Our counselors care so much, and it is wonderful to see that being acknowledged. Thank you.
I took the level 1 class this weekend with Carol Frost and thought she was an excellent instructor. I m not usually a fan of zoom or any via computer courses, especially when it comes to true life situations and growth, but I felt comfortable, safe, welcomed, and actually accomplished.Carol is honest and straightforward about her own past that truly made me feel comfortable to speak about my own past, what really brought me here, and actually gain from this experience.A true Judgement Free Zone , without the lingering thoughts of can I be honest with a person/group I ve never met or how can I be real if this is for legal purposes? Not at all with Carol.I highly recommend Creative Counseling Services if you re in the Northern Front Range, and Carol if you re near an office in the NoCo area.She even went out of her way after hours to extend a hand with extra music she thought would help me.Music especially because she knew I suffered from a TBI years ago and music therapy is my best form of recovery across the board.If you re nervous about finally asking for help, or if it s legal based, she makes this course something that truly resonates with you even when it s over.Even if your time with the course is over, that doesn t mean her time is done with you, if you d like.You re not just another check mark off the attendance list.

Other Forms of Payment
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Aftercare Support Completing a drug or alcohol rehab program shouldn't spell the end of substance abuse treatment. Aftercare involves making a sustainable plan for recovery, including ongoing support. This can include sober living arrangements like halfway houses, career counseling, and setting a patient up with community programs like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) or Narcotics Anonymous (NA).
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Clinical Services
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
