About Mountain Springs Recovery

Nestled just north of Colorado Springs lies Mountain Springs Recovery, a high-quality residential facility that treats adults struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. Their curriculum of care includes medical detox, gender-specific residential programming, aftercare, and specialized tracks for LGBTQ+ and professionals.
Mountain Springs offers a personalized approach to treatment, providing unique, customized treatment plans that cater to the individual needs of the client. After a comprehensive assessment, a licensed team of experts helps determine the best possible strategy and therapies that will work for the client. While the length of their program varies from person to person, Mountain Springs offers 30, 60, and 90 day programs. During this time, clients will engage in an array of therapies using evidence-based models and holistic practices. Individual and group therapy sessions are rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET), and eye movement therapy (EMDR) to treat trauma and co-occurring conditions. Holistic offerings include massage, meditation, relaxation training, equine therapy, and hypnotherapy. Notably, Mountain Springs is a device-friendly facility and acknowledges the busy lives of professionals and executives by allowing laptops, notebooks, and smartphones for working professionals. Since they are a device-friendly institution, clients may continue to work while engaging in treatment.
Mountain Springs’ scenic facility provides a sense of serenity that enhances the recovery process. With only 6 beds, Mountain Springs offers a low client-to-staff ratio and a tight-knit community. Accommodations are comfortable, with residents sharing a spacious bedroom equipped with king-size beds, closets, dressers, an ensuite bathroom, and stunning views. In addition to comfortable accommodations, the facility provides plenty of amenities—an outdoor pool, gazebo, fire pit, outdoor patio, computer lab, gourmet meals, a fitness center, and a recreation room with billiards and a ping-pong table.
Mountain Springs Recovery provides a robust, comprehensive curriculum of care that caters to the individual in a beautiful mountain setting.
