Recovery Unlimited

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.

To prevent further addictions, Recovery Unlimited doesn't prescribe these medications: Ambien, sedative hypnotics, opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants.

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

Assisting Clients with Legal and Other Medical Needs

Recovery Unlimited's team provides level 4+ DUI services and parole support to help clients stay out of jail and in recovery.

They can connect clients with a primary care provider to address other routine and urgent medical needs.

Supporting the Family

Recovery Unlimited facilitates free 90-minute family support sessions each week so clients have a supportive environment for their long-term recovery.

Committing to High-Quality Care

Recovery Unlimited's vision is "a world free from chemical addiction," and their values are trust, compassion, accountability, and respect. The owner holds a Colorado Addiction Counselor III (CACIII) certification, and the leadership team includes licensed counselors and administrative staff.
