We treat clients suffering from mental health disorders while simultaneously addressing addiction for a variety of substances including:
Depending on your particular needs and circumstances, our qualified staff can help you choose an option that is right and that can yield the best results possible. We believe seeking addiction treatment in Colorado shouldn’t be a barrier, which is why we have created effective programs that address the underlying causes of addiction while also remaining cognizant of outside obligations.
We have licensed therapists that use proven evidence-based treatment modalities that help clients effectively recover from substance misuse and addictions. In fact, 89% of our alumni clients who have completed both Partial Hospitalization Program and Evening Intensive Outpatient Programs self-reported not using or decreased their use 6 months to 2 years after graduation. Through one-on-one time with our dual-licensed therapists and recovery staff members, you’ll be able to talk through the sources of your addiction and learn coping strategies and recovery tools.

Healing the entire family system is a crucial part of lasting recovery. Our program helps families overcome the frustration and helplessness often associated with a loved one in early recovery.
More than one in four adults living with serious mental health problems also have a substance use problem. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, nearly half of individuals battling mental health disorders will also fight substance abuse at some point in their lives. Unfortunately, inaccessibility to adequate mental health care can mean catastrophic, life-changing dependency issues for drugs and alcohol.
Why is this important? National statistics indicate that substance use problems occur more frequently with certain mental health problems, including:
According to a Colorado Health Access Survey, 15.3 percent of Colorado residents have reported eight or more days of mental health issues. More concerningly, Colorado has a higher rate of substance abuse than the national average with just over 17 individuals (per 100,000) severely abusing prescriptions, alcohol, and drugs. AspenRidge Recovery is a well-established Fort Collins dual diagnosis treatment center working to address these issues.
At our treatment centers, changing lives begins with mental health. We, at AspenRidge Recovery, offer mental health therapy programs in Fort Collins that help bring to light the presence of an addiction that is directly influenced by mental illnesses. With our dual diagnosis treatment, we can offer assistance for both issues simultaneously as our therapists are licensed in both treatments.
Fort Collins’ mental health counseling will originally begin in a one-on-one setting. This will provide an opportunity to connect with our trained counselors, and allow us to learn more about each other, your life experiences, and history. Through this highly developed approach, we can create a unique treatment plan designed for your specific needs.
With personalized mental health therapy programs in Fort Collins, you can truly find serenity and overall wellness on your terms. Our mental health programs include services such as:
There are several levels of drug and alcohol addiction treatment programs in Colorado. Our AspenRidge admissions staff will help you determine which program is right for you. In Fort Collins, we offer the following addiction treatment programs.
There are certain approaches where detox centers or medical approaches might be necessary. For example, opiate and opioid withdrawals can be treated with medications that help to combat the onset of the detox period. Our trained staff has built quality relationships with some of Colorado’s best detox centers. We incorporate their treatment seamlessly with ours.
During our partial in-hospitalization (90-day recovery) program, AspenRidge Recovery staff aims to address every aspect of addiction, from the physical effects to the emotional root causes through individual, group and family therapy. Additionally, we combine our evidence-based Fort Collins addiction treatment with:
We evaluate all pathways to recovery and offered a tailored approach. Similarly, AspenRidge promotes community-based recovery support and provide 30 hours of therapy per week.
Treatment doesn’t end abruptly after our 90-day program. Transitions are probably one of the most crucial and critical parts of an individual’s journey to drug and alcohol-free living. Active recovery and maintenance are a big part of your continued success and can be just as difficult as “getting clean.”
The AspenRidge Recovery Alumni Program supports and provides the structure for clients during transition phases and long-term. Our drug and alcohol rehab center in Fort Collins has a dedicated alumni coordinator who is driven to help you stay focused on your recovery while offering a source of community and sober fun.
