About Healing Pines Recovery

Healing Pines Recovery is located in Elizabeth, Colorado close to both Elbert and Douglas Counties. They use evidence-based, holistic and experiential methods that they believe are critical to sobriety and long-term recovery. One of their main points of focus is on helping clients learn to accept, process and communicate emotions. They exclusively treat men who are dealing with drug addiction, mental health problems and trauma.

This residential inpatient treatment center is designed to help men get past emotional problems and support recovery from drug addiction. They look to provide you with a place to escape from potentially triggering environments at home or in society so you can put all of your energy into recovery. This would be the place you go after hospitalization or detox to promote wellness inside a peaceful atmosphere.

They have an intensive outpatient drug rehab program here that’s designed around the specific challenges men might face on the path to sobriety. This program uses counseling and support groups to fight both the physical and mental effects of addiction. You’ll get comprehensive care while still going about your daily routine.

They use medication-assisted treatment or MAT which is medication combined with behavioral therapies and counseling. They also use cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), which helps ease the symptoms of drug abuse along with any issues from a mental health diagnosis.

They might also use dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) which is similar to CBT but more focused on treating patients with problems with emotional responses, or more serious mental health issues. Iit’s typically used for people with personality disorders.

You can get some other forms of treatment here like animal therapy, experiential outdoor therapy, yoga, and holistic therapies, as well as ketamine therapies. They also use the SMART therapy method which stands for Self Management Recovery Training.

Healing Pines Recovery is the only place for men ready to quit alcohol and substance use. With a total of 6 clients at a time, you re going to get focused one on one help. The founder and director, Paul is an amazing man that has created a sanctuary for healing. Between the beautiful open 40 acres and three mini donkeys, this place is like no other. There are plenty of other activities between in person classes to maintain one s positive mental health. Even the cooked meals are delicious. I personally enjoyed my time at Healing Pines and gained life long brothers that I will stay in contact with.

I have been to several treatment centers over the years and can truly say that Healing Pines is the best one I have had the privilege of visiting (and hopefully last ever).It feels like the staff truly care about your success in recovery. They will make accommodations and work with you to determine the best path forward.The small-sized, all-men clientele creates an environment conducive to recovery unlike any other treatment center. In the past, rehabs I have been to have either been too large for individual focus or the co-ed structure has created too many distractions and not enough focus on recovery itself. Usually both.If you are truly ready to get sober and tired of the bullshit (as I was), I would recommend this facility. This is where you go when you are ready to get your life back on track and start taking sobriety seriously.As a young man (21 years old) walking the Red Road (path of recovery), I felt supported and welcomed by all the staff and clientele alike. Truly a great experience. It was hard at times, but it should be if you are doing it right.Again, Healing Pines is the place to go to RECOVER. Keep an open mind and try your best as I did, and I can safely say that you will have a successful, productive experience.Thank you to Paul, Disc Mike, Bekah, and Zen Mike in particular for making the experience what it was.I wish everyone who picks Healing Pines as their rehab of choice, whether first or last, hopefully last, the best of luck in their recovery efforts. Keep moving forward.

I am lucky enough to work directly with Paul often to help those in need begin their journeys. I m so grateful in this line of work to have the ability to point people in the direction of HPR because it truly is the best place to heal. I would only recommend HPR for any man struggling to overcome a substance struggle, they truly are the best in all of CO. Paul and team, thank you for all you do for these amazing men and for all you will continue to do. -Lindsay w/ GMDC

Accepted Insurance

Healing Pines Recovery works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

inpatient iconInpatient
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 icon12-Step
Addiction recovery based on a 12 step program model is rooted in peer support and spiritual development. Participants regularly attend 12 step meetings, which are free, anonymous, peer-led, and available throughout the day and night in most communities. Clients' recovery is achieved progressively as they work through the 12 steps, which teach them to understand and address the root causes of their addiction, become accountable for their choices, and relinquish control over that which cannot be changed.
medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox
Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one’s body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

Clinical Services

The main principle of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Colorado is that substance use disorders are based on faulty thinking and behavior patterns. The goal of this treatment is to help the individual learn better ways of coping with challenges, which will lead to changes in thinking and behavior.

Dialectical behavior therapy is skills based and present oriented. You'll be asked to keep a diary of emotions and related behaviors and practice the skills you've been learning between sessions. The focus of skills development is on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Men and women in Colorado have access to customized individual therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. These sessions explore your life experiences and patterns of substance abuse. Your therapist helps you recognize harmful behaviors and thoughts that empower you to make positive changes for lasting recovery.

During family therapy sessions, family members in Colorado work with therapists to understand addiction as a disease that has affected the entire family. This approach fosters empathy and reduces blame on any one member. Promoting this collective effort helps to support the recovery process.

Participating in experiential therapy in Colorado brings awareness to the emotions and thoughts that affect your behavior. As you engage in an interactive or creative activity, your therapist will help you reflect on and analyze these patterns and develop healthy coping strategies to use in the future.

The best place possible to start your recovery journey. Staff is incredible. The small setting makes groups much more engaging and valuable, therapists truly have your best interest in not just recovery but in all aspects of your life, and the environment is unmatched.

Paul and his team at Healing Pines Recovery genuinely care about every man who comes through their doors. Paul saved my life, and I left with the tools and knowledge needed to be successful in my recovery. They truly believe that connection is the opposite of addiction, and I was able to build those meaningful connections. Now, it s up to me to stay connected and apply what I ve learned.

Healing Pines Recovery is a cut above other treatment centers. Every staff member cares deeply about the clients they support. The owner Paul and Clinical Director Mike have designed an amazing program to personalize treatment plans for each individual. They keep their caseload small, which allows for a focused approach. Most facilities are a corporate money grab where clients are treated like cattle, rather than human beings. Healing Pines has a different perspective. The environment the HPR team has created makes everyone on site feel like their challenges can be overcome. Some unique features include a multi hole disc golf course, miles of walking trails, beautiful views of the front range, as well as an all-pathways approach that provides a variety of options to become, and stay sober. It doesn't take long to feel like you're at home. At the same time, the assistance you're provided goes a long way towards tackling the difficulties of beginning a better life. Their client first approach encapsulates loved ones as well. HPR facilitates structured support for families. After graduation, you'll be a member of the community for life. Anyone who sincerely invests in their future through this program will begin to believe what they once thought impossible, that hope is out there, and profound, personal growth can be achieved. Oh, and the food is great too.

Choosing to go to HPR is the best decision I ever have made. The staff was kind, empathic, and super helpful. I came away with the tools to become my full authentic self and to live my life to the fullest. The property was very relaxing and peaceful.

Paul and Healing Pines have been a lifesaver. I was desperate and looking for a suitable option to help a loved one with his addictions within a reasonable budget. When Paul picked up the phone and guided me to their website, I closed all other tabs because I knew this was the perfect place and I immediately trusted him. Paul has been patient, honest, supportive, kind, non judgmental and we couldn t have wished for a better facility or support system. The entire community has been outstanding, the process from beginning to the end of the treatment was flawless and the results - my loved one has been sober for more than 2 months now and he has no desire to go back to using. I am thankful and just blessed that Paul picked up the phone when we needed urgent help and I hope he gets to change many more lives, one family at a time. Thank you for everything you do.

A place of hope! After battling on my own and feeling as if I may never win, I had lost all hope. The shame and guilt of my addiction and mental health was overwhelming. Healing Pines gave me back hope and reintroduced me to my authentic self. I was scared as hell to walk through the doors of a recovery center, but I was at home within minutes. The brotherhood is a true feature of this spiritual palace. The staff is far more personal than I can describe. If you are on the fence about where to begin your new lease on life, I implore you to give Paul a brief call. You will know within 60 seconds if this is the right fit for your life.Additionally, my post resident treatment program is phenomenal and has set my life up for success. All the best! -Nick

Response from the owner4 months ago
You are an amazing father, husband, and all-around incredible man. A lifelong friend and family member of HPR and the brotherhood, and one of the best Donkey Leads we've had to date. We were fortunate to have you with us, and we thank you for trusting HPR to be part of your journey. You truly rock. We look forward to seeing you soon when you return to share your experience, strength, and hope.

Healing Pines is nothing short of extraordinary! When choosing a recovery facility I wasn't sure what to expect. I had a lot of anxiety and fear of what it would be like. Paul and the amazing staff at HP put my worries to rest quickly! The facility itself is nestled on a majestic ranch environment that offers unlimited outdoor activities, all with a nature centric attitude in mind. From pickleball to disc golf and everything in between, there is no shortage of fun to be had while focusing on recovery! Everything from the food to the accommodations are focused on comfort and serenity. Leaving plenty of time to engage in their world class therapeutic studies and tools which are taught by an incredibly diverse and compassionate staff, many of which are in recovery themselves; so adding another layer of understanding to one's own struggles with addiction. At Healing Pines connection takes center stage, as the selection process allows for a diverse group of clients. Everyone learns to connect deeply with each other, nature, and the similarities that led us all to this beautiful facility. I really can't say enough about the transformation I undertook here. And I would encourage anyone struggling with addiction to consider Healing Pines to begin their journey towards recovery. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
