The staff and facility were awesome. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking Recovery and Healing .

This treatment center was great, the settings, view, gym, staff, both medical kitchen etc. I would definitely recommend getting help from this location. Check with your employer in some cases your employer will pay for your treatment. Good luck on your treatment stop the cycle! Feel better and find yourself again!

Great experience! Definitely helped me in my journey. I would strongly recommend!

The staff and the programming is amazing. I have been in several treatment centers and I have to say the programming here is one of the best.

The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake was the best facility I’ve ever been in! I would definitely recommend to anyone seeking recovery! There was great food, excellent staff, very comfortable, and a trauma based curriculum that helps solve the underlying issues causing addiction. Thank you so much for helping aide me in saving my life!

I learned a tremendous amount while at the Recovery Village. I was able to let down my guard when it comes to learning new techniques & actually putting them in place. The negative part of the Center was that they need to hire more cleaners or janitors. I saw blood and even boogers on the walls.

It was a good experience, I went to the program twice and now I’m going on 3 years clean and sober the staff were supportive

Great place, you can feel that the people who work here care about your sobriety, food is good and the facilities are very nice! 2 years sober and couldn’t have done it without PLR!

The process of getting My fiancé into treatment was very simple and easy with help of this secretaries always keep us updated and very fine and understanding

Thank you all ! Been sober for 800+ days. Would highly recommend.

The professional staff treat you with dignity and respect. I learned soo much about myself through the caring and compassionate clinical staff. The accommodations are comfortable and the food is great. They offer many amenities and activities. Facility is very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone seeking high quality therapy in a beautiful mountain environment. I honestly left PLR a new person with a fresh perspective on a life -long approach to recovery.

Year and a half later and I'm still clean and getting better every day.

Man what a place! The program, the accommodations, the staff, are all top tier. I have been to several facilities all over the U.S. and Recovery Village is by far the best. From the food and kitchen staff to the CEO and BHTs the whole crew is amazing. A true God send for me. Just what I needed when I needed it. If you are struggling and looking for a place to turn your life around and start new beginnings this is the place. They accept almost all insurances and treat everyone as equals. I cannot think of a better place to get things going in the right direction. Give them a call. Hats off to Scott and his crew for their caring open door approach to saving lives.Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

One year ago, June 28th, 2023, I checked myself into The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake. I was broken, scared and didn’t have one answer - other than I needed help. I was beyond sick and tired of being sick and tired. After my 41 day stay, I walked out the door feeling alive again. I was happy again. Feeling again. The education I received still leaves me feeling so very grateful. You have to bust your tail in here - if you want it. The warmth. The understanding. The guidance. The pushes and nudges. I think about every person that helped me on my sobriety path in there.. they became “my people.” I couldn’t think of a better way to end this day….to recognize and pay my sincere gratitude and respects to the wonderful people who make Palmer Lake what it is. One year later… I AM STILL SOBER😊. Thank you🤍 Katie Watters

Everyone who works at Palmer lake are a joy. From the therapists, the counselors and everyone I had the pleasure to meet I was blessed by the way they made feel. I honestly miss them for they are such great people.

I only stayed for detox but they made it as comfortable as it could possibly be. Case Management was great, they didn’t want me to leave without an exit plan and helped set up a meeting with an IOP in my hometown. They also helped with my leave of absence and were familiar with that process. It took a lot of stress off of me so I wasn’t worried about losing my job while getting help.

I like the client focused care. The facility needs a little help but still 5 stars. Very good place to get a clear head. Get ready to work/change...or not

I was in an inpatient treatment and IOP several times before I came here. I've now been sober for 2 years, 9 months and 11 days. Thank you for helping me in my journey of sobriety back in 2023.

Being at Recovery Village at Palmer Lake was a life changing experience for me. I’m almost two years sober and continue to use the skills I learned there every day. The staff inspired me to want to work in recovery/mental health and now I get to help others and be a positive influence on their recovery. I highly recommend this program.

I had a great experience, I only went to detox do to just having a short relapse but I ended up staying for the 30 day program. I strongly recommend Recovery Village to anyone that is struggling with addiction or mental issues. The staff are great, good facility, good programs and the food was good as well. Thank you to all the staff at PLR! This experience changed my life!

My Son’s journey with this recovery Center was amazing! He’s two years sober now! Healthy and working hard in his career! Thank you!♥️🙏

Was there for 45 days in 2024, haven’t drank since. The program along with a good support system. Thank you 🙏 gave me my life back.

Life changing!! The staff from top to bottom is amazing!!

I found the group therapy approach to sobriety to be incredibly impactful. I am still sober two years later and I really appreciate what Palmer like recovery did for me both in the residential programs as well as the aftercare programs that I participated in. Very much a fan of living away from your normal life and spend the time to get your self back on track. Excellent way to deal with trauma and live life sober.

There are a number of ventures that are never truely appreciated in their time for the impact it has or can have on someone's life. For me i knew the gravitas that this amazing facility would have on me to say it saved my life sells it short. For the programs and therapies and everything else they have developed here for addiction recovery are at the bleeding edge of what is possible when it comes to treatment. And if that alone does not get 5 stars let's not forget the breathtaking views and scenery. If you find yourself facing the abyss that is unique to substance abuse recovery and are fortunate enough to be here or anywhere even close to here trust me you have the ability to save your life

My therapist Shae was amazing! He is what kept me there on days I really wanted to quit. I couldn’t have done it without him! From the first time I met him in detox to having one on one sessions. He helped me find myself again and so much more! By the end of the stay I didn’t want to go. Thank you Shea!!!! As for the rest, the meals were great for the most part. Most of the staff was kind and caring excusing the few bad apples. There were a lot of spiders and ants in the room and we did not have a tv. But they do allow you to keep your phone at all times with cameras covered and your vape after detox. In detox you are kept comfortable. I just took my meds and slept for 4 days and boy did I need that rest! The worst part was that I was told they took Medicaid then told they don’t. Then told they will take both of my insurances and that they were on my file to later find out only my primary was on there. The consistency here isnt the best. My whole stay someone would tell me something and another the exact opposite. But other than that I would say it was a nice stay. Also nurse Kendra in meds was so joyful. And Mr. David and Jessica’s classes were interesting and fun. I really enjoyed my instructors.

Great place and great staff. They help with all the resources you need

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with this place.. but this last one really gave me a lot of motivation to try changing my life.

Staff, program and facility are exceptional.

Still haven’t received my FMLA+ payment please help Jesse i

Dr G and Rob go hard. The therapist and techs made it so comfortable. Food is amazing and staff is kind and patient.TV in rooms and full amenities 5 star for sure. My recommendation is if you have Medicade they’ll take you. Advocate for yourself and get into Dr.G’s classes

Fantastic help

Recovery Village at Palmer Lake truly changed my life in ways I didn’t think were possible. From the moment I arrived, I was met with compassion instead of judgment. The staff—therapists, nurses, techs, and support team—genuinely care about each person who walks through those doors. They don’t just treat addiction; they treat the whole person. The setting itself is peaceful and grounding. Being surrounded by the beauty of Palmer Lake and the mountains creates space to breathe, reflect, and heal. It’s hard to explain how much that environment adds to the recovery process, but it makes a difference. The clinical team is knowledgeable and professional, offering structured therapy, group sessions, and individualized treatment plans that actually address the root causes of addiction. I felt heard in my one-on-one sessions and supported in group therapy by both staff and peers. They create an atmosphere where vulnerability feels safe. What stood out most to me was the sense of community. Recovery can feel isolating, but at Palmer Lake, I found connection, accountability, and hope. The alumni support and aftercare planning also helped me feel prepared for life after treatment instead of just being sent back into the world. If you or someone you love is struggling, Recovery Village at Palmer Lake is a place where healing truly begins. It’s not just a treatment center—it’s a foundation for a new life.

Amazing admission process..! Very helpful..!
