Jaywalker is designed specifically for men with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Their 90-day inpatient program provides the time and structure needed to create meaningful change—something shorter programs rarely allow. Their full continuum of care carries clients seamlessly from residential treatment into outpatient programs to aftercare and long-term accountability. Jaywalkers are an active group, using the Roaring Fork Valley to extend their therapeutic experience beyond the confines of clinical settings.

Build a Foundation for Lasting Recovery

Specializing in chronic relapse, Jaywalker empowers men to build lasting change by deepening their personal connection to Step One of the 12 Steps. Clients examine the impact of drugs and alcohol in all aspects of their lives, revealing the underlying truth about their struggles with recovery. They combine evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with holistic methods, wilderness expeditions, and service opportunities.

Enjoy Comfortable Lodging & Outdoor Adventure

Inpatient clients stay in an upscale lodge with comfortable, modern interiors and shared rooms. Nightly family-style dinners, prepared by a talented chef, are a beloved tradition. Clients can communicate with family and friends who are supportive of the recovery process through the provided phones and computer. Clients spend as much time outside Jaywalker’s walls as inside, engaging in “meditation in motion” through activities including fishing, golfing, hiking, skiing, and more.

Access Support for Every Stage of Recovery

Jaywalker’s transitional living program bridges the gap between intensive treatment and independent living. Their offerings include 90-day intensive outpatient and outpatient programs, a sober living home with 24/7 staff support, and independent living residences across the street from their primary care facility. Jaywalker also has a strong alumni community that offers numerous ways to stay involved, including networking opportunities, three weekly meetings, events, expeditions, and volunteer opportunities.

Address Underlying Issues Driving Chronic Relapse
Jaywalker’s 90-day treatment program is ideal for men struggling with chronic relapse, addressing the co-occurring conditions that often accompany this cycle. They assess dual diagnoses from all possible angles to get deeper insight and determine the best course of action for clients with complex mental health, psychiatric, and trauma disorders.
Reclaim Purpose Through Service & Giving Back
Reclaim Purpose Through Service & Giving Back
Service is a cornerstone of Jaywalker’s recovery model, offering clients the opportunity to step outside themselves and become a positive force in their community. By volunteering with local groups such as Habitat for Humanity and Colorado Animal Rescue, Jaywalkers combat the isolation of addiction, providing reassurance that life has purpose and recovery is possible.
