The Life Recovery Center is a CARF accredited outpatient facility in Denver, Colorado dedicated to helping adults and adolescents overcome substance use disorders including alcohol addiction and opioid addiction. They are also able to help those with co occurring mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. The center accepts Medicaid, military insurance, private insurance and self pay to ensure care is accessible to all.
I like that they use a compassionate client centered approach. This approach allows for flexible programs tailored to support recovery while allowing you to maintain your daily responsibilities.
The center provides Level I outpatient and Level II.1 intensive outpatient programs (IOP). These programs are ideal for those transitioning from inpatient care or needing structured support. IOP includes group and individual therapy that spans typically nine to 15 hours weekly.
They use evidence based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma related counseling and motivational interviewing. Specialized programs include gender specific care for men and women which addresses the unique challenges both genders experience.
Teens will also be able to receive age appropriate treatment that tackles adolescent specific issues. The center does not offer medication assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction but focuses on counseling and relapse prevention strategies that include the Matrix Model and 12 step facilitation.
Additional services include family and couples counseling to rebuild relationships, anger management and community reinforcement to support sobriety. Clients praise the supportive therapists but some have reported inconsistent staff interactions.
Our Methodology
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.
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.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
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.
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.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
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 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.
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.
Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Wonderful place wonderful people! Clean quiet and secluded. Love it here
the staff here are actually wonderful. The woman at the front desk people are referring to? Super kind and not rude at all. She just isn’t the quintessential bubbly personality that people associate with “nice”. The counselor here is truly incredible though. 10/10 she’s amazing. I feel so so lucky to be able to receive treatment here with a counselor that actually likes their job and WANTS to help you. I’ve never left a single session or even a conversation in passing, feeling anything but at peace and at ease. MAT can suck.. but this particular location is a gem
