About Axis Health System - Gunnison
Specializing in trauma treatment, Axis Health System's Gunnison clinic brings mental health care, addiction treatment, and practical recovery support together in one outpatient setting. The clinic serves children, teens, and adults through individual, group, and family counseling, psychiatric care, and medication management. Treatment addresses trauma, emotional and behavioral concerns, and substance use, with additional support for clients managing work and daily responsibilities.
Address Trauma and Support Children and Teens
Counselors use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients work through traumatic experiences and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to manage emotions, cope with stress, and build healthier relationships. Children and teens can receive counseling for emotional and behavioral challenges, while family therapy helps parents and caregivers understand their needs and address concerns at home. Psychiatric providers assess mental health needs and manage medications when appropriate.
Treat Addiction and Support Daily Stability
Clients with opioid use disorder can receive medication-assisted treatment (MAT), including Suboxone and Vivitrol, alongside counseling and psychiatric care. Beyond treatment, peer services and case management help clients navigate everyday challenges and connect with community resources. Supported employment helps those looking for work or trying to keep a job. The center provides appointment-based weekday services, with telehealth available for clients who need another way to access care.

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
