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

Everyone at Palm Lake Recovery rocked!!! They all went above and beyond to ensure an amazing experience thank you all so much! Jesse I

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.

Palmer Lake is a place where you are able to find your own pathway and work on yourself. Shout out to John and Aubrie in Res, as well as Lydia, Julie and Dave in Nursing!

Caring and experienced staff makes all the difference. Evidenced based curriculum is well thought out. I would highly recommend Palmer Lake Recovery.

A huge shoutout to all the BHTs that took care of me and helped when needed. Tim, Dan, Melissa, Karen, Ronnie, and more.

Most of the therapists have their own recovery story which lends credibility. Most also deeply cared about our joining and healing. I met amazing staff and incredible people.

Overall wonderful experience.

Palmer Lake Recovery was an amazing experience. The curriculum was very helpful and the staff truly cared. Everyone is very nice. I was not sure what to expect but it met all my expectations and then some. I would highly recommend.

Jo was a professional from start to finish. She was awesome to work with.

If you’re looking to just detox or a limited program then think about either going somewhere else or pour it all in. I was fortunate enough to decide the latter. I also am a VA patient and there are things to be said for how they “VA” track you, which was very upsetting but the curriculum can’t be touched if you do EMDR, I recommend Arno. Remember that you’re the driver of your sobriety, easy to say, but if you choose to go here, accept everything you’re given and push back and don’t be afraid to listen to others. Best wishes to anyone who cares about sobriety! I’d love to hear your journey.

I’m not a fan of the new clinical director, he’s a corporate guy who has no knowledge of US.

If you’re wanting to lean on the everyday staff and feel lost you’ll walk into someone who cares, do yourself a favor and open up, cry, and realize you’re not alone. Be your own rockstar!

Everyone here is GREAT! The kitchen accommodated my diet (with a smile), the therapist really help you dig deep, and the culture is amazing! If you're struggling this place is a really great place!

I've been to three other inpatient rehabs before this one and two PHP and IOP programs. No other one I've been to comes close to offering what PLR does. All of the staff is phenomenal, the therapists are amazing, the grounds are beautiful, food is great, and the degree of freedom they give clients is fantastic. They helped me get to the root issues i have that caused me to keep going back to drugs and alcohol when i knew they were slowly killing me. I really can't say enough good things about them and their program

The program is fantastic. I learned a lot in the time that I was there.

I went here in 2012 or 2013 I’ve been sober for almost 10 years now, staff was great it was snowing beautiful, I met a lot of good people and even a beautiful girl I spent most of my time with, the food was 5 star chefs at
The time idk about now, umm the rooms were comfy and amazing, they always had an ensure on hand for me, as I was really underweight. Which was cool cause I’d get up at like 1 am and the night nurse would always chill with me and let me
Have an ensure and a cigarette and we’d watch opera and stuff very therapeutic. Umm over all the therapy and groups were really good, beautiful place overall 5 stars. Definately gave me some peace in a hard time in my life but like I said 10 years sober.

Everyone was so loving and helpful. The only thing they need to do better is case management was not helpful in my aftercare at all. The therapist Emily was amazing Tim and the guys in the kitchen are a absolute joy and made my day everyday i was there. I have been to a few rehabs and this is the first 8 have ever completed and im going to truly miss everyone there from the clients to the staff I love you all very much

Completing inpatient treatment there marked a turning point in my life. The facility expertly balances structure and healing—medically supervised detox, careful group therapy, mindfulness classes, and trauma-informed and holistic practices. The team helped me confront the foundations of my addiction and provided me with recovery skills that I actually believe in.

Awesome. The courses and instructors are absolutely amazing. Learn so much about not only my addiction but my self in the process.

Choosing Palmer Lake for alcohol rehabilitation was the best choice I've ever made. Professional staff and meaningful therapy made all the difference.

The staff were incredible and so endearing. The reviews of people mentioning friends passing or medical issues are some of the consequences of substance abuse and addiction which has absolutely nothing to do with the facility itself. My intake went very smooth and I felt welcome from the very second I walked in. The therapists, clinical teachers, curriculum, medical providers, and BHTs are above and beyond and make sure everyone is treated not only fair but with great hospitality. I wish more people struggling find this wonderful and safe place as I believe it has truly changed my life for the best.

Probably the best treatment facility in the nation. Staff is great, curriculum is stellar and the amenities were out of this world. Would highly recommend.

This facility was my first call and the best choice I could have made for my loved one. The staff was extremely helpful and very caring and made the whole process so easy.

When the ship is sinking, there's a heightened
awareness of where help may be offered. Tremendous gratitude for the opportunity to return and for the support.

So far this place is Great. Most of the staff is friendly and helpful. Kitchen staff is Excellent. And Nurses are really good about getting your meds in order as long as you Advocate for yourself. The overall cleanliness could use a little work. But I would Recommend this place to Anyone. Very Structured curriculum that hits right to the Point.

Wonderful rehab facility. I really loved therapist, Megnann and Arno!

I can’t thank the staff enough at Palmer Lake. I was in a really bad place when I arrived there. I was at a point in my life that I knew was going nowhere, but I still chose my addiction over my family. I knew I needed help, but I didn’t care. My addiction almost cost me my family and my marriage. The whole process here was great. I loved the group therapy, it really helped me in my road to recovery. Tammi you were my absolute favorite, with all your knowledge and your stories of your own path really hit my heart like a ton of bricks. You are the absolute best and I can never thank you enough for all the things that you shared. It meant the world to me. (Please let her know or let her read this.) Emily M., my one on one therapist, thank you for all the great talks as well. You are a true blessing as well. I can never thank you enough either. (Please let her know). To the rest of the staff at Palmer Lake. You all touched my heart in a way that I can never repay you. Always so kind and willing to help at a moments notice. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. The whole process there really helped, and I know now that I have everything that it takes to lead a life of sobriety. In closing I want to say that I appreciate each and everyone of you, and although I enjoyed my time there, I hope I never have to see you again. Not in there anyway. Ha ha ha ha .
May God bless all of you and help you all to touch the lives of others as you have touched mine. Will highly recommend your place to anyone that asks.
I hope that sometime in the near future that I could come back there and just share my experience and how much it meant to me. Is that possible? God bless all of you.
