Detox can help you or your loved one come off of drugs or alcohol as safely as possible and with fewer withdrawal symptoms. Their inpatient rehab program provides 24-hour medical professional supervision, medication management, weekly meetings with a psychiatrist, individual therapy, recreational therapy, and daily group therapy.
The duration of their outpatient program depends on the individual. You’ll find similar therapy options, but with the added bonus of being able to return home after sessions. All in all, this clinic seems extremely promising to me, and it seems like it can be a good fit to anyone seeking recovery and sobriety.

Our Methodology
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.
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.

Medically Assisted Detox 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

This was a great place to go for Alcohol Recovery! Their Detox program is good, The clinicians were wonderful, and the food was good! I learned so many tools to deal with my addiction while I was there. I would go back if I needed to.
Beautiful facility with beautiful staff. I participated in the trauma program (top notch). They truly care about the people that walk through their doors because for them recovery is serious stuff, so there are plenty of opportunities for alcoholics and addicts like me to di ...
All they care about is money. High pressure sales tactics, lie about costs, took max money from excellent insurance, then threatened my son for an additional $4,500 after he got out of their mediocre program! Putting pressure on a recovering addict! Horrible people!!
Everyone here is GREAT! The kitchen accommodated my diet (with a smile), the therapist really help you dig deep, and the culture is amazing! If you're struggling this place is a really great place!
I've been to three other inpatient rehabs before this one and two PHP and IOP programs. No other one I've been to comes close to offering what PLR does. All of the staff is phenomenal, the therapists are amazing, the grounds are beautiful, food is great, and the degree of freedom they give clients is fantastic. They helped me get to the root issues i have that caused me to keep going back to drugs and alcohol when i knew they were slowly killing me. I really can't say enough good things about them and their program
Just another Mikey Mouse money pit "rehab center"... They literally take your loved one who's struggling with one substance, and they put them on another substance they can and will abuse. They haven't even had adequate time of detox to even begin to form a baseline before they begin with putting them on other drugs they get high on. They cut family completely out. They don't even know their patient. No say, no story, no input from the people who have known them for years. They take an addiction and just restart the same cycle, all while filling their heads with, "I'm making progress". They allow patients to maintain their blame and denial, and seem to encourage trashing family members who have struggled with their addiction and suffered horribly as being part, or completely the problem. On top of this, they have your loved one in there with dysfunctional addict members of the opposite sex, especially men who prey on vulnerable women in recovery that are there living with them 24/7, talking in their ear, adding to the family bashing in attempts to hook up. They do zero work on taking accountability for what they've done, and zero education and focus on what effects that has on others around them. They gave me wife a diagnosis of PTSD, but never mind the PTSD that's caused to her family. They do zero work with the family they are sending their patients back home to. Just to start the cycle of abuse all over again. My wife absolutely loves the drugs they have her on. Wellbutrin and gabapentin. Two of which are substances she's abused in the past. In one instance she took over 20k milligrams in one day, had a grand mal seizure and stopped breathing for over 4 minutes. I had to provide CPR while paramedics were on the way. Children heard and saw the whole thing. Blood from biting her tongue and urine all over the bed. But that's zero concern to recovery Village. They won't even talk to me, and use hippa laws as a convenient shield from that confrontation. Warning, taking your loved one here, or really anywhere in this State is a serious mistake. A department of human services worker literally told me that because of this kind of stuff going on, they don't accept any of this as valid treatment in D&N or abuse cases. Which is common to have DHS and CPS involvement in situations with a parent who abuses substances. This has literally been hell. The worker also told me, that he recommended out of the state of Colorado. Your loved one will not get better here. That is not their focus. They will not be sending home a well person, despite what the person is led to believe. This is a sincere warning from a heartbroken husband and father.
I will be honest here because I do believe recovery is a life or death situation… I have previously been at this facility and the best thing I can say is that the staff and the counselors and case managers are wonderful people but corporate is destroying what was once a great rehab. I had to return to Palmer Lake and although the staff is trying the best that they can, they are overbooked so classes are gigantic and congested with lack of staffing. EMDR has a waiting list and most patients aren’t able to stay long enough to receive that vital therapy. The line to get medicine would be nine people deep at 5:30 in the morning often times I wasn’t able to get meds in the morning so I’d have to wait until noon dosages (For medicine, I was supposed to receive three times a day ). The food was truly despicable and sometimes inedible -undercooked meat, I once found a butter wrapper in my mashed potatoes, everything is full of carbs and sugar, and most of the food comes from frozen bags. There were multiple occasions when the kitchen “ran out” of food so my cohorts and I would have to eat granola bars -no joke… the salad bar was the same every single day… At the end of my stay, they resulted to ordering pizza at night from Papa John’s -A healthy diet is absolutely vital to recovery, but there were no nutrient dense options, I gained 13 pounds during my stay there. The staff is burned out and patients are able to feel the stress and chaos of the administration, which is completely unprofessional and makes it feel like we are not being cared for the way we should’ve been. The gym is disgusting and rundown as our the bedrooms with dust and trash underneath the beds…. An IOP group is supposed to be 8 to 10 people, but groups were as big as 24 people which greatly discounts the ability to share and be heard. Phentanyl was able to easily be smuggled in on 2 occasions which hints a lack of security and proper supervision. The original clinical director was escorted off premises by the POLICE, and they were never able to regain a semblance of balance or trust amongst the higher-ups… again, patients should not be able to notice this in such a serious industry, but the stress and chaos was extremely felt and apparent. The staff continued to tell us to “please bare with us as we make adjustments” -incorrect. These are patients’ lives we are talking about, we upended our lives and paid extremely good money to be there, so there should have been a pause in future admissions until they figured out how to fix these situations, or a partial-refund to make up for “bearing with them” for weeks. Shame on the administration for valuing the mighty dollar above quality care they assured us we would have -it was NOT like this during my first stay. Not to mention, the building leaks and floods when it rains -water damage on the walls that they hastily painted a dark blue (to cover the stains because a health inspector was coming to visit that week). The juice and drink dispensers are often empty, so a guy opened up the spickets only to find black mold inside… We had been drinking from that for weeks… Another another time the coffee seemed to be out and they weren’t refilling them so he opened the carafe and found dark sludge on the bottom from it not being cleaned. I hate to say all of this because the therapist and counselors are incredible but I was grateful for my discharge date. It feels like PLR is getting run into the ground. I would not recommend treatment there to anyone anymore unfortunately.
The program is fantastic. I learned a lot in the time that I was there.
I went here in 2012 or 2013 I’ve been sober for almost 10 years now, staff was great it was snowing beautiful, I met a lot of good people and even a beautiful girl I spent most of my time with, the food was 5 star chefs at The time idk about now, umm the rooms were comfy and amazing, they always had an ensure on hand for me, as I was really underweight. Which was cool cause I’d get up at like 1 am and the night nurse would always chill with me and let me Have an ensure and a cigarette and we’d watch opera and stuff very therapeutic. Umm over all the therapy and groups were really good, beautiful place overall 5 stars. Definately gave me some peace in a hard time in my life but like I said 10 years sober.
Everyone was so loving and helpful. The only thing they need to do better is case management was not helpful in my aftercare at all. The therapist Emily was amazing Tim and the guys in the kitchen are a absolute joy and made my day everyday i was there. I have been to a few rehabs and this is the first 8 have ever completed and im going to truly miss everyone there from the clients to the staff I love you all very much
I struggled with benzodiazepine addiction for many years before discovering them. From the moment I came, I felt supported and understood. The team provided specialized treatment that met both my physical and emotional demands. The peaceful environment and extensive programming made all the difference in my recovery process.
Entering there was the best decision I ever made about my benzodiazepine addiction. The personnel treated me with dignity and respect, providing a secure environment for rehabilitation. The facility provides a variety of therapies and activities that helped me stay involved and focused on my recovery. I left with a fresh feeling of purpose and a solid plan for staying sober.
This place is a joke. I just had oral surgery and they won’t give me pain medication. Not why I am here - if you thought that - so what’s the hold up? They want their doctor, who is not a doctor but a PA to review it in the morning. I haven’t been sleeping because of pain then surgery. But denied me my prescription hydrocodone.
