The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake, Colorado

A medical detox is typically the first step of the addiction treatment process. During detox, clients undergo the withdrawal process in a safe environment staffed by medical professionals who help treat uncomfortable symptoms.

Inpatient rehab is where the bulk of treatment takes place. Clients participate in individual and group therapy sessions and work with counselors, doctors and other specialists to uncover the underlying causes of addiction and treat them. In an inpatient program, clients live on site until they are ready to graduate to a lower level of care; depending on the severity of the addiction, inpatient rehab may last anywhere from one to three months.

Clients in PHP participate in treatment throughout the day but are able to return home after the day’s programming is complete. For all intents and purposes, PHP is very similar to inpatient programming but with slightly more client independence.

When a client feels physically stable but still requires ongoing support, they may step down to an intensive outpatient program. Clients in these programs typically spend nine hours per week at on-site treatment.

Clients in an outpatient program still have access to many of the facility’s services and resources. They have a higher degree of freedom and are beginning to take the first steps of their post-rehab recovery journey. During this time, clients may be living in a sober living community or similarly supportive environment.

Telehealth services, such as our Nobu app, allow clients to access helpful recovery tools and resources anywhere, anytime. Clients can also participate in therapy sessions with licensed mental health professionals for an additional fee.

Clients receive individualized aftercare plans that help them continue recovery after rehabilitation ends. As part of aftercare, clients create relapse prevention plans, gain access to alumni support groups, participate in routine recovery check-ins and more.
