What we offer

We work directly with referral sources and physicians to assist with a holistic approach to assist the client in overall recovery. Attainment of basic needs, such as housing and food resources, along with ability to find stability in everyday life are the center of recovery. Through engagement with referral sources, we are able to provide quality care and communication to assist in several areas of recovery support for clients in their recovery. Additionally, this assists with understanding barriers to treatment and recovery and problem solving services to assist in attainment of needs.

Our Values

Succeeding Together

Our primary goal is to assist clients in feeling at home and cared for in our outpatient facility. We want to be their adovacates and provide hope that change is not only possible but common. We work hard to build positive experiences and engagement with the clients where they feel as though their experience matters.

Believing Recovery is Possible

Many times clients will struggle to recognize change as a possibility in the throws of their addiction. Our place in their every day lives is to believe change can happen and support them as they make changes to sustainment of life skills and recovery. Each member of the staff encourages clients to feel at home in our agency through interactions when clients are in the building. After the darkness of addiction, see the sunrise again offers hope and inspiration to those just beginning their recovery journey.

Building Trust

As we act with integrity through our practice, we are able to build trust not only with clients who are currently in recovery but alumni whom return to gain assistance as needed. This trust is also built in referral sources to assist in whole recovery for clients and is a culture that is unlike any other in Colorado Springs.

Learning and Growing

By listening to ourselves and others and thinking about how we can learn to grow and become better has allowed us the opportunity to model change for clients and referral sources alike. We can create real change within ourselves and inspire others through this process. This is seen in our dedication to client learning but coupled with clinical staff learning as well as they progress through their career.
