Choosing treatment in Colorado Springs

To find a treatment in Colorado Springs that is the right fit for you, you can access local and state resources available to you. The Colorado Behavioral Health Administration¹ offers information on community substance use prevention and early intervention. Private treatment centers like Women’s Recovery can assist you with what to look for in a treatment program in Colorado Springs.

In addition to finding an ideal location, women should consider a treatment experience that is gender specific. The challenges that a woman faces can be very different from what men go through when dealing with a substance use disorder or mental health disorder. Women’s Recovery offers outpatient treatment in Denver, Colorado. All treatment programs are designed specifically for women and their unique needs. It’s all about learning skills and tools that can be put into place in real-life scenarios to avoid a relapse.

Knowing what to look for in a treatment in Colorado Springs is vital. While each person’s treatment plan will be personalized for them, having a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities will better serve the end result of your recovery journey. Mental and physical health history will be evaluated at intake, as well as the patient’s addiction history and the severity of the addiction.

Therapies that make up a well-rounded treatment experience, especially for women, include:

• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Dual diagnosis treatment
• Medication-assisted treatment (MAT)
• Family therapy
• Group therapy
• Trauma-informed therapy

These evidence-based therapies have a proven track record of effective treatment outcomes for those struggling with a substance use disorder and co-occurring mental health conditions.

The outpatient programs for women at Women’s Recovery offer a structured daily schedule of programming focused on the unique needs of women as they go through the treatment experience. This holistic approach allows one to take advantage of a variety of therapies, as well as the local landscape, and a focus on mindfulness.

If you are unsure if treatment is the right next step for you, consider if any of these statements describe you:

• You know you need to stop using drugs or drinking alcohol, but you are having trouble doing it on your own.
• You have tried treatment somewhere else or on your own, but you relapsed.
• You have experienced a traumatic event that you cannot get over, and doing drugs or drinking alcohol makes you feel better.
• Your addiction is severe, and you know you need a safe and structured environment to go through detox.
• You have a co-occurring mental health disorder that needs to be treated at the same time as your addiction.
• Your home life is not a sober space and has too many triggers for your addiction.

If these statements ring true, you should seek a professional behavioral health treatment program like that at Women’s Recovery.
