Our Clinical Approach to Treating Substance Abuse

Our clinical approach to substance addiction and mental health treatment is simple; we listen and then meet you where you are. Every individual presents with a story that’s unique to him or her. From the first contact to individual, group, or family sessions, we work with you to develop a personalized plan that addresses your needs.

Clinical and Therapeutic Treatment Modalities

We pride ourselves on continuously discovering and making use of new methods, research, and activities. Successful treatment and lasting recovery involve more than just addressing one’s presenting symptoms. This is why we offer a variety of resources, treatments, and group options. Some of our clinical offerings include therapy, medication, and support groups. Some of our therapy services include cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based therapies. We also offer holistic services such as yoga, meditation, and nature hikes to provide a more comprehensive approach to recovery.

Client Testimonials

This isn’t my first time at Elevare, I came here about a year and a half ago, and it really has improved a lot! First the living areas are super nice and cozy, and the furniture and everything is really nice. It is clean and I really love the living room furniture, and the beds are comfortable and cute and cozy rooms. There are people coming from all over the country to be here and be a part of this program, and that’s telling. I am here dealing with a court case, and they have also been really helpful in dealing with all of that stuff and helping me to put that behind me and move on to bigger and better things! I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a sober living that has a little more structure. It’s a good balance here, and they really do care.

This was the best decision I have ever made in my life. From the first day I arrived and the inpatient house to the IOP program every one of the staff had only my best interest at heart. They all care so much about my recovery. It was very easy and conferrable to fit in with all the other patients in all the groups. The whole staff is so incredibly supportive and knowledgeable because most of them have been through recovery and know what we are going through in our path to recovery.

Elevare Colorado was an awesome experience for me. The one-on-one therapy was very beneficial as I was able to uncover some things from my past that had been holding me back. The group topics were well planned as were the various activities we enjoyed. The techs were so enthusiastic and made the day fun. My case manager, was always helpful and full of resources. The nursing staff were always readily available as was the executive director. I highly recommend Elevare Colorado if you are seeking a way to achieve long-term freedom from addiction.

Elevare saved my life. After being in a 30 day inpatient program at a different facility, I was referred to [this program] and was a patient...for about 6 months. I committed to working their program, staying in sober living, and healing my trauma. They helped me address all of the problems that led to my alcoholism and helped me to learn to live again. I highly recommend them if you are willing to change your life.

Been to many rehabilitation centers. Elevare by far tops them all. The individual [counseling] sessions and large groups help provide a well balance.

A huge shoutout to [the DBD] at Elevare !! Yes , her title at Elevare is Director of Business Development but her TRUE title should be ANGEL ON EARTH because this special woman doesn’t just go the so called “extra mile” for someone , no she goes to INFINITY AND BEYOND for her patients with so much exceptional care , passion and understanding and doesn’t leave any stone unturned to find a resolution if a client needs to find a facility to go to !! She has been my rock through all this and will be forever grateful !!! THANK YOU 🙏🙏🙏 !!!
