About Step Denver

The program is centered around four pillars including work, sobriety, community and accountability. These pillars facilitate vocational skill acquisition, community support/interaction and accountability through personal responsibility. The goal is to assist you in breaking the cycle of addiction to regain control of your life. Subsequently you can transition to a safe sober environment where you can function as a productive member of your community. The recovery support manager will help you set goals and monitor progress as necessary. These managers comprise program alumni and certified peer recovery coaches. So they’re in a much better position to counsel and guide you in your recovery journey.

You’ll participate in 12 Step fellowship meetings, career counseling and education groups/life skills classes. This program has four phases ranging from stability through development and transition to sober living. Stability involves getting you out of survival mode by providing a safe and supportive environment to start your recovery. So your entry into the program satisfies this phase. In the development phase you’ll be equipped with the tools necessary to stay sober in the real world. You’ll build solid coping and relapse prevention skills through participation in group sessions and 12 Step meetings. The transition phase is all about looking beyond the program. You’ll start building support networks and creating a plan to help you transition to a safe environment.

The last phase is the transition to their sober living home. These homes help you gradually re-enter the community with more privileges while keeping the structure and support of a peer recovery group. At the end of the recovery process, you’ll have rebuilt your self-esteem and dignity and become a healthy, self-sufficient community member. You can join their alumni network for ongoing support and access to community resources after recovery.

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

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer a wide variety of services and levels of care to align with clients' unique and evolving needs. Outpatient care is best suited for clients who are stable and for those who wish to remain at home while receiving treatment. Clients typically receive addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training, including participating in evening, night, and weekend sessions to accommodate clients' schedules. Clients at an increased relapse risk may receive more frequent and intensive treatment.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program have completed active addiction treatment and are receiving services designed to promote their sustained sobriety. Drug rehab aftercare typically encompasses a wide variety of medical, mental health, and social services meant to facilitate clients' reintegration into their home, workplace, and community. Clients typically collaborate with their case manager and/or recovery team to identify and access the services they need, often including peer coaching, career counseling, and care referrals.

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).

sober-living iconSober 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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

The process of medically assisted detox usually takes place in an inpatient setting while under the 24/7 care of a team of licensed medical professionals. It's considered the safest way to rid the body of all addictive substances and prepare you for a transition into either an inpatient program or various forms of outpatient rehab. The program length varies depending on your needs, but it typically takes about 5-7 days.

Treatments

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.

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

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-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

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.

Clinical Services

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

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.

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 (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.

The best thing that has happened in my life! I finally learned how to live in a sober environment, it was hard at first but thanks to the help of some great people I managed to pull through. I've been sober for a while now and expect to continue for a long time to come.

They kick perfectly good people out of the program because of an EBT card that was for the benefit of the person's child!! Their hatred of government is stronger than helping people.

This program saved my life. Anyone that gets kicked out of this program isn’t actually trying. I have been in this program for 5 months now and watched guy get booted because they couldn’t do simple things like show up on time or clean up after themselves. It’s a shame they leave low reviews because they want to blame everyone except the person responsible. That’s just how it goes in addiction sometimes. The people here actually care. They aren’t here for your money unlike every other sober living program. You will pay less than half of what you pay elsewhere for a service that is twice as beneficial. I have been to plenty of sober livings where the owner is making more on the houses than most people make in Denver.

This is a really great place for anyone that is serious about making a real change in thier life. There's alot of rules and guide lines to obide by but that in my opinion makes it a great place because it will weed out the people that's not in it for the right reasons. It's a extremely clean facility with a nice gym and plenty of sober activities for people to get involved in. It's a great community of sober/clean individuals that are striving to better thier lives and helps to integrate you back into society with all the correct ideals and skills necessary to be successful in your life. The staff is great. I recommend this facility for anyone looking for real change.

Having been through this program fully I can confidently say that if you truly apply yourself and honestly want to break the cycle of addiction this place will give you the helping hand to pick yourself up. Not a savior, it gives you the tools to save yourself, and then some. Excellent program that I hope to see applied nationwide one day.

I've been to many rehabs and this is the first one that actually worked for me. Unlike other places they treat you like an adult . Besides just getting you sober they help you do adult things like get a bank account, a job, insurance, standing on your own. The staff are all people who are in recovery as well so they actually have an idea what you're going through. I think many people with addictions would benefit from giving this place a try.
