Our Methodology
MonthlySelf-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.
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
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.
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.
Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex & Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA). At Peaks Recovery Centers they believe client long-term success is strengthened by their participation in the 12 Step program, especially outside the clinical setting. The 12 Step program is crucial because it builds the sort of character that enables their clients to remove the selfish behavior associated with substance use. In their professional experience, when clients immerse themselves in the 12 Step way-of-life, their chance of living a sober life greatly increases.
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).
Serenity Peaks Recovery Centers outpatient, alumni housing is not open to the community. Every member residing in their alumni housing has completed their program with a minimum of six months of personal sobriety. Living among members of the alumni community with the same goals, interests, and six-month foundation in recovery provides an extended, accountable, communal setting.
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.
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.
Creativity is inherently healing, and can help those in recovery express thoughts or feelings they might not otherwise be able to. Creative arts therapy can include music, poetry/writing, painting, sculpting, dance, theater, sandplay, and more. Unlike traditional art, the final product matters far less than the experience of creation and expression itself.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.
Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. It does not necessarily involve riding horses, but all activities related to horses, such as feeding, grooming, haltering and leading them. A mental health professional frequently oversees the activities (often in conjunction with a horse professional), and helps patients process their thoughts, feelings, and behavior patterns during and/or after the interaction.
Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
EMDR is a therapeutic modality originally developed to help process trauma. In an EMDR session, a patient is prompted to undergo eye movements that mimic those of REM sleep. This is accomplished by watching a therapist's finger move back and forth across, or following a bar of light. The goal is repetitive sets of eye movements that help the brain reprocess memory, which can significantly reduce the intensity of remembered traumatic incidents. Associated memories can heal simultaneously, leaving patients significantly calmer, more stable, and more emotionally relaxed.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation. Addiction affects the entire family system and, for this reason, Serenity Peaks Recovery Centers welcomes families into their extended care treatment setting. Families are invited on a monthly basis to participate in therapy with their loved one. Family members are also updated on their loved one’s progress in treatment on a weekly basis. Together, both the monthly therapy sessions and weekly updates create solid boundaries between family members and their loved ones while making the family unified again.
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.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety. After their morning groups they require that every client participate in resume building, filling out applications, and going out on job search. Every client will hold a job during their time within their program. When they receive their first paycheck they will start to budget their own weekly allowance for food and toiletries. Serenity Peaks Recovery Center also requires that each client take on their own cell phone payment. All other money earned from their job is saved and given to them in full upon completion of the program.
Nutrition therapy, aka medical nutrition therapy (MNT), is a way of treating physical, emotional, and medical conditions through diet. Specific dietary plans are designed by professional nutritionists or registered dietitians, and patients follow them in order to positively affect their physical and mental health.
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.

I had been through treatment programs before, but I always went to a program for my wife or family. When I came to Peaks I finally came to treatment for myself. I finally realized that staying sober had to be my number one priority.
I am so grateful for Peaks Recovery. I have over three years sobriety now and I have gained so much more then that. I found myself again. I have self confidence, self love, a community and more importantly a family. Peaks really became my family. From the moment I walked in ...
When I first came to Peaks, I was broken, depressed, hopeless, and completely lost. I truly didn’t believe things could get better. But my experience at Peaks changed my life in ways I never could’ve imagined. From the moment I arrived, I was surrounded by a community of supportive, caring people who genuinely wanted to see me grow. I built friendships and connections that will last a lifetime, with people who stood by me through every high and low of my recovery journey. The groups and therapists were absolutely incredible, I learned more here than I ever have in any other program. The structure at Peaks helped me build consistency, confidence, and real progress. The staff went above and beyond every single day, they truly cared about us as people, not just clients. Even the food was amazing (shoutout to the chefs, you made every meal feel special!). The activities were another huge part of my healing, basketball, pickleball, volleyball courts right on property, yoga, art supplies, gym equipment, hikes twice a week, church, Recovery Dharma, and so much more. There was always something positive and grounding to be a part of. I am endlessly grateful for my time at Peaks Recovery. This program gave me my life back and gave me the tools, support, and hope I needed to keep moving forward. Thank you to everyone who made my experience so meaningful and life-changing. ❤️
I want to stress first and foremost, this is not a safe place. Nor does staff/ management/ owners care for the detrimental issues stemming from within. I filed multiple grievances and the same things persisted. So just know, when you’re given someone else’s meds, the wrong dose of your meds, your private health information freely shared with clients allowed to linger in the med room, vaping indoors (and by underage clients), sharps are not tracked. And even after a self harm incident, you’ll have your sharps back and untracked again within 24hrs, ultimately setting you up for failure, in the worst way. KNOW, that they were made aware of these concerns, and failed to act diligently, or enforce their own policies, rules. Thus, proving negligent. Make sure you are in a state of mind of which you are aware of all medications you should be taking as staff has misdosed others, be it; by giving them someone else meds or the wrong dose. This happened 5 times among 5 different clients and 2 different staff a BHT and a CNA. AND That’s just from the clients aware enough to know and catch what the nurses should have. And if you get a wrong dose don’t worry as the CNA, “won’t tell if you don’t”. As a client, you have the authority to act as if you’re staff; lingering in the med room behind the screen that contains all clients (your) personal health info, check visitors in, make coffee in the BHT office, and offer to blur boundaries by implying you can change the dates when clients get their phones back just because you somehow have the same authority as a paid BHT(?) and thus will be considered “support” for the BHT team, or that’s at least how the operations manager framed it when I turned in my grievance. So just know, nothing here is protected and HIPAA seemingly does not apply. And god forbid you bring concerns to staff as they will disclose that information to other clients. And those clients may come up and confront you, or the staff may even confront you, breaching confidentiality. After a self harm incident a BHT staff openly mocked the client in front of other clients, putting on display again, confidential information breached and a lack of care for the client. Management will talk about how unethical it is to report these issues to outside agencies, as they themselves conceal information that should be publicly posted and transparent such as the ombudsman name and number. This facility needs an “ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK” sign. Because that’s exactly what you’re doing. The inconsistencies, are evident and will leave your mind warped. The food is mostly a good thing, Taylor and Kenneth are superb chefs. The first time you meet Taylor she will greet you by name and already know your dietary restrictions. BHTS: Shamus, Felicia, Clint, Kyle, Derrick, Julie are the better BTH staff. Sasha an overnight nurse is great. My medical provider was a great resource amid the chaos. Pat and Fred at the front desk are friendly and welcoming. I do not recommend. Too many unchecked mishaps. They do not care about “quality of care” when they refuse to enforce no vaping indoors, ensuring your private medical information is protected, that you can come to them in private and it remain such, yet alone not tracking sharps. Seek sanity elsewhere, this place will only confuse you and delude you from any sort of truth. Only adding to the confusion you will experience here is that when you google map the address it takes you to the Brook Park Dr. location which is the woman’s sober house where they live as they attend PHP. This location I’m reviewing is their detox/ residential/ PHP and IOP Center. The main facilities for their “Quality of Care”, located at 1755 Old Ranch Rd 80908.
Peaks Recovery is family! My story didn’t start or end here just part of my wonderful journey. An amazing recovery center based on community. Proud to be alumni!
