Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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 icon12-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).

aftercare iconAftercare 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).

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.

Shield icon Insurance

Our Policy: Southern Peaks Regional Treatment Center works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

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.

drugs iconDrug 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.

check iconDual 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 iconMental 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.

opium iconOpioid 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.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

animal-therapy iconAnimal 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.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

art-brush iconCreative 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 iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

medical-detox iconExperiential 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 iconEye 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 iconFamily Therapy

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.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

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 iconLife 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.

heartbeat iconMoral Reconation Therapy

Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a modality based on strengthening moral reasoning, that can be used in substance abuse treatment. Originally created to help criminal offenders stop committing crimes, it is a structured approach that includes both group and individual counseling, as well as homework exercises. The MRT workbook is structured around 16 steps (units) focusing on 7 treatment issues, including building a healthy, positive identity; developing a higher frustration tolerance; and forming a strong moral belief structure. Participants meet 1-2 times weekly in groups, and can complete all steps of the MRT program in 3-6 months.

desert iconMotivational 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.

Rational Behavior Therapy

Rational Behavior Therapy (RBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy meant to be short-term and comprehensive. It was intended to help clients become more self-sufficent and move forward without the need for expensive, ongoing therapy. It includes an emotional self-help method called “rational self-counseling,” the purpose of which is to give clients all the skills needed to handle future emotional issues by themselves, or with significantly less professional help.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational 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.

house-medical iconTrauma 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.

Southern peaks is really not a good place to go. You have to find the right staff to go to or you will get manipulated and humiliated I went on different units and only 1 of them was filly therapeutic. Princeton is not a good unit and there is few staff on that unit to talk to who genuinely care about you and your well being. Therapy was pretty scarce. When I was on the Princeton unit I was with a girl who managed to get 2 razor blades and I'm honestly surprised that she lived. The supervision us horrible because thc and nicotine was being passed around and the staff did not realize until they dropped theirs and it went missing. The "treatment" is not anything near treatment. There was many things that happened to me while being there that I won't ever forget. I was in a restraint which those are not useful and very painful they apply too much pressure and force because when they would proceed to apply more and more pressure because they would hold you in very uncomfortable positions. Standing upper torso is weird because they take your arms and wrap theirs under and squeeze so your shoulder blades can touch and you can move. If you move the slightest bit you get thrown to the ground. I am very thankful for Kelsey and ash during my restraints because they wouldn't yell at you to calm down when you were screaming and crying at the pain. I got my right shoulder popped out of place during an overly aggressive restraint. The food was horrible and they would force you to eat or you would get put on a clinical 1:1. They would take your clothes and make you wear stained up and gross pajamas even to school. I remember the verbal discrimination I received when I would walk out and do stuff that I probably shouldn't have done but I tried almost every single day to escape and they would fallow you until you were no longer in their sight and then when you weren't they would finally contact the police and tell them they have it under control and when they can not find you they put it in the police authority. They would act like they are so worried when you get back but when police were no longer there they would act if you had "fun" they never did genuinely care. I want yo thank austin,kailee,and Keith for their support.

I was here during summer of 2023 and the only reason I am even giving it a star is for the very few amount of staff who genuinely cared for the youth and made my stay tolerable.Otherwise this place is the worst place you could go to for treatment and the only good thing I got out of being here was to never do the things that landed me there in the first place. Six weeks in and I got a hold of razor blades TWICE, the first time from a staff and the other from a youth that was able to smuggle it in from a home pass because the facility and staff failed to do their mandatory search&shower. When I needed stitches because I used one of said razor blades to engage in self-harm, it took them almost 4 hours to set up transport and get me to the ER. My first two months I was on a constant 1:1 in which the staff assigned to me were continuously falling asleep or just straight up getting up and leaving me on my own which is also how I was able to end up with stitches. Not all of my staff were bad at doing the one simple task of keeping an eye on me though, some were very supportive and understanding and actually made me their only priority and did not belittle or guilt trip me when I had unsafe days. The restraints were the most traumatic and the most painful thing you could go through. I ve been tackled twice, I have had an unnecessary amount of people on me at once holding me down, and after a restraint I always had some sort of injury, I get that when it comes to restraints it s because it came to having to physically stop whoever from doing something they shouldn t be doing but the amount of force they used for an underweight teenage girl was crazy. I only successfully AWOLed once and the whole situation was very stupid. Staff were threatening to go hands on with me when it was not needed, things happened and I got upset so I jumped the fence, no one came after me when they should have especially due to the fact I was a risk for hurting myself, they didn t even call the police and I was out and about walking around town until almost two in the morning before a staff member who had just clocked out found me covered in my blood and called people to come get me. There were relationships going on with staff and youth whether romantically or just straight up unprofessional, multiple times staff would bring in contraband to give to youth as well. There was tons of drama between the staff that was also very public in the setting. The only good things that I actually enjoyed doing was medicine bear and equine therapy but the staff who run it stopped including me in both because I had relapsed heavily in an eating disorder and from what I and other youth assumed, trying to punish me for it which was very hurtful. The medical team was very kind and helpful with getting me the care I needed during this time which I am very grateful for. The facility discharged me while in the hospital for my ED without any resources and basically just threw me out expecting my family to find me the treatment I needed which by the way, did not happen. Overall this place is horrible and unsanitary and needs a good deep clean or even better, a remodel. For a facility who is trying to broaden their treatment more towards mental health, they are not equipped for it and should stick to working with kids involved in the justice system.I am forever appreciative to the recreational therapists who came to see me while I was in the hospital and for the morning staff in the school, those people cared.

I would not advocate for this establishment to those in need of assistance. The quality of the food is subpar. Although the majority of the staff members exhibit professionalism, the minority can display aggressive behaviors. I have observed inappropriate relationships between staff members and multiple patients, which is a clear breach of professional conduct. Furthermore, a staff member made a false accusation of my assaulting her, but the security footage disproved her claim, consequently enabling my departure. I sincerely believe that, had this incident not occurred, they would have retained me until my insurance coverage ceased.

I absolutely love Southern Peaks, I have been in and out of the system as a juvenile and have never seen anyone try and help youth the way Southern Peaks does.

I started working for SPRTC 6 months ago and am so glad I did! Since the day I started I have felt welcomed and supported. SPRTC is a company that cares about their employees and is truly focused on being the best for the youth we serve. This is a hard field to work in but very rewarding at the end of the day. I see the positive difference the programs at SPRTC can make for the youth.

I thoroughly enjoy working here! The facility has a great support system. Everyone is there to support each other and get the job done. It's a very rewarding line of work where you are making a difference in the lives of those that really need it. I'm glad I found a career that I know I'll be there for years to come!

I wouldn t even read this place one star I was there for almost a year. I was one of the girls that ran away with three other girls we escaped. They did not inform any of our family within weeks that we were missing from the property they did not call the police, there were so many riots. The staff was very unprofessional when it came to restraints I had no bra on and yes it is kind of my fault cause I tried runaway because there was abuse by staff members, so I was tackled by a staff member named Tara, My chest area was exposed to the boys heading back to the unit. There were two other staff members named charity, and Vanessa. They would literally belittle the girls, and say, at least I get to go home. They ll never let us make our one week phone call charity, and Vanessa have bounced volleyballs off of the girls faces. Staff members were being attacked by Kids on the units they got so bad. there was this one staff name Erica and there was my roommate that had a baby and lost it and she literally put this girl down so much. She went in the bathroom and try to hang herself, nobody went to check on her , you re usually only supposed to be in the bathroom for seven minutes you re not allowed and there is somebody s in there you have to yell clear and one of the girls I ran away with is the one that found her hanging they did not call 911 and they did not Her checked out by the nurses or doctors !!!!!!The boys get to go to the cafeteria and an actual school. The girls are in this type of old shed thing with no windows no air conditioning and they will fill you and tell you every caseworker. Oh they have a swimming pool. The girls will go to school over here, they will sit there and lie to your face so when your kids call you crying saying this and now is happening you might as well just want to check into it. I was on probation at the time and because they would not let me get my one phone call a week, I had a warrant out for my arrest for four years didn t even know about it I was one of the most traumatic things I ever experienced in my life. They will have hot seats to pend up the children against each other. overall experience it was like living in hell the only staff members that I did appreciate because they actually cared about the kids was a therapist named Carol and a bus driver named Janices and there was one night staff that I really liked and I forgot her name but from that place was the best thing for me that ever happened .

My nephew has been at Southern Peaks for almost 6 months and is doing well. The staff really seem to care about the kids and are kind and forgiving. My family and I are eternally grateful for the care my nephew has received. He is a very emotionally and physically demanding kiddo, and the staff are able and willing to help him in any way possible.
