Nestled in the eastern Knob Hill neighborhood of Colorado Springs, Recovery Unlimited treats individuals and couples with substance use disorders, and they treat co-occurring mental health disorders and trauma in the process. Their program includes off-site detox and 12-week intensive outpatient (IOP) care. Accessing Care Recovery Unlimited’s staff of 25 supports over 500 clients at a time. Clients can do the detox at home or at the El Paso County Detoxification Center (also known as Sandstone Care Detox Center), which is 15 minutes north of Recovery Unlimited. The IOP is open by appointment 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. They also accept walk-in clients on weekdays. Using Evidence-Based Methods Clients receive 9 hours of group therapy and 1-on-1 time with a licensed counselor each week. The treatment therapies they receive are cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing, proven methods that address co-occurring mental health concerns, trauma, and other underlying factors of addiction. Additionally, they help clients manage medications and administer Vivitrol and Suboxone to make it easier to stop using drugs. To monitor clients’ recovery, Recovery Unlimited performs drug screenings.

Their peer support program coaches clients with their long-term recovery.
