One of my friends decided to go to AspenRidge a while ago. Initially, he was not really convinced but after a while I saw him becoming a different person. He made amends with a lot of people he had hurt in the past and is currently working to improve himself.
About AspenRidge Recovery Lakewood
AspenRidge Recovery Lakewood is located in Lakewood, Colorado about 20 minutes from Denver and convenient to public transportation. They’re accredited by The Joint Commission and the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. They offer three outpatient programs for substance use and co occurring mental health disorders. They also have a virtual care outpatient program. They accept and are in network with most major insurance providers.
The highest level of care they offer is the partial hospitalization program (PHP). The PHP is a step down from inpatient care and it can be a great option if you’re new to recovery. You’ll build a strong sober foundation while living at home or in a recovery residence. The program lasts up to 30 days. You’ll have treatment five days a week with six hours of group therapy a day.
You’ll also have individual therapy weekly to address substance use, co occurring disorders such as anxiety or depression, and trauma. You’ll see a psychiatrist for medication management. When you finish you’ll also become part of the alumni program which offers lifetime support.
There are two intensive outpatient programs (IOP), a 5 day IOP and a 3 day IOP. The 5 day IOP is up to 60 days. You’ll meet for three hours of group therapy per day five days per week. You’ll also have psychiatry services and weekly individual therapy. Individual therapy is where you’ll work on more personal issues of trauma and co occurring disorders in addition to addiction treatment. This program also includes the alumni program.
The 3 day IOP lasts up to 90 days. This program meets three days per week for three hours of group therapy on those days. You’ll also get individual therapy on a biweekly basis to address mental health, addiction, and trauma issues. You’ll have a case manager as well as psychiatry services for medication management. You’ll also have access to the alumni program.
If you’re looking for something more budget friendly from the comfort of home, there’s a virtual treatment option. This is also a good option if you’ve graduated from one of the in person programs but you need easy access to continued support.

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.
12-Step
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 and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Intensive Outpatient
IOP is a little more involved than a traditional outpatient program, which usually requires appointments only once or twice a week in the beginning, and less frequently as time goes on. During the beginning stages of addiction recovery, a traditional outpatient program doesn't always offer enough support simply because of the time allotted for appointments. Choosing IOP gives people the freedom they desire and need to continue with many of their day-to-day activities, while providing them with the substance abuse treatment they really need.
Intervention Services
Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.
Sober Living Homes
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
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).
Partial Hospitalization Program
A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

Treatment
Alcoholism
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.
Drug Addiction
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.
Dual Diagnosis
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.
Mental Health and Substance Abuse
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 Addiction
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.
Clinical Services
Animal Therapy
Animal therapy (aka pet therapy or animal-assisted therapy) can be very healing, as it allows patients to bond with animals, who give unconditional love. This is particularly useful for those who suffered trauma by the hands of people, who may be able to trust and form closer attachments to animals than humans at certain stages of rehabilitation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy in Colorado that works to help clients re-frame their thoughts, thereby allowing them to change their behavior. Clients will steadily work to detect automatic negative thoughts about addiction, and then their therapist will work to help patients replace those thoughts with more positive and accurate thoughts. Over time, this can help patients combat cravings and move beyond depression.
Couples Therapy
Couples counseling in Colorado is a chance to treat the effects addiction has had on client's relationship. Together clients will explore conflict management strategies, discuss issues with intimacy, and develop a plan for getting their relationship back on track. If patients are unsure whether they should stay in their current relationship, couples counseling can help them make the decision together in a respectful manner.
Creative Arts Therapy
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
Dialectical-behavioral therapy was originally developed to treat the relationship challenges people with borderline personality disorder face. DBT works by helping clients more effectively manage the emotions that cause they to use drugs and alcohol. DBT therapists in Colorado meet with you one-on-one once per week, but you'll also have group therapy sessions.
Equine Therapy
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
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.
Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing
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.
Family Therapy
Addiction is a family disease. Loved ones may not use drugs or alcohol, but their lives are almost certainly affected by client's addiction. Family therapy gives patients the chance to treat the family issues the addiction has caused. Therapist can help clients make amends to their family, educate their family about the disease of addiction, or address underlying issues that led to the addiction. Family therapy is especially important for teen and young adult addicts, and for parents whose addiction has impacted their children.
Group Therapy
Group therapy in Colorado is a popular option for treating addiction because in a group therapy session, clients can explore common issues with people who have been where clients are now. In this approach, the therapist is more of a facilitator than an active participant.
Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is the single most important option for moving past addiction. No matter what other settings clients choose, therapist will likely recommend individual therapy. Individual therapy offers patients complete confidentiality, in conjunction with the therapist's undivided attention. While other forms of therapy focus on clients relationships with others, individual therapy is patients chance to explore mind, behavior patterns, and relationships.
Life Skills
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.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.
Nutrition Therapy
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.
Recreational Therapy
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.
Trauma Therapy
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.
