I can't say enough about PLR. From the first intake on the phone to my arrival, the care I received while there and the intense CBT classes changed my whole self. I went all in and I don't regret a single bit. I am now in the IOP program via Zoom and continue to receive the care I experienced during my stay.

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

Nestled in a valley, surrounded by picturesque mountains and bluffs, is a place that will save your life. The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake is unlike any other rehab facility. I’ve been to two others and PLR is far and away THE place to go for recovery. The entire program is vastly different than anything I’ve experienced. It’s a well thought out program which starts in detox, then residential inpatient, followed by partial hospitalization (PHP) and finally IOP, if you choose to stay. My personal involvement included a 6 week inpatient stay at PLR, which took me through PHP 3 and thus the end of the main programming. Lengths of stay vary depending on your progress, history and insurance.While PLR offers 12 step meetings and encourages that participation, their program doesn’t completely revolve around AA/NA. Rather, the focus is on the root cause of the addiction. With the concept being that our DOC (drug of choice) was our solution and not our problem. Therefore, the program is heavily based on discovering the deep rooted traumas, histories, hurts, etc that drove to one’s use of their DOC. PLR focuses on the brain’s development and the why behind how it works and how it keeps us stuck. They discuss communication styles, family dynamics, co-dependency, psychodrama (highly recommend this class with Arno in PHP3), neurological function, relapse prevention, trauma work as well as a multitude of other concepts. The focus is on this, so that the patient can better understand themselves, in a process of detangling each one from our substances.The trauma work at PLR is incredible! The facility offers EMDR (recommend Laura, EMDR therapist) for those who stay through weeks 1-3 of PHP. I had never experienced EMDR before and I’m comfortable to say, from my experience, that it works wonders! I was able to discharge from PLR with the capacity to close past traumas and the ability to be able to think through them, process them and no longer be panicked or reactive to them. In addition to EMDR, there are groups that also do vast trauma work.Each person at this facility will change your life on a soul level. I have never felt so loved, valued, comfortable or considered as I did during my time at PLR. The clinicians, behavioral health techs, medical staff and nurses work together to treat the entirety of the patient. There are so many truly special people on staff who only want the best for you! Particular shout outs include:- Clinicians: Cindy, Dr. G, David, Traeman, Janet, Julie (recommend parenting class), Aaron, Rob, Tammy, Sayeh- BHTs: Jamie, John, Nathan, Darrell, Hannah, Melissa, Anthony, Marcos- Activity Coordinator: Elizabeth- Medical: Psych NP Joanne- Dietary: Heather, Saoirse, Karen- Case Manager: Amanda- Executive Director: Chris- RN’s: Julie, Patty, Quinn, Erin, DON KristenAll of these people have significantly touched my life and I will never forget them! I’m so blessed and grateful to have known them.Lastly, some FYIs:- Smoking and vaping are allowed within the smoking area.- Dietary: food isn’t the greatest or most healthy but the staff will work diligently with you to accommodate special needs. They were amazing to me!- The facility has a walking trail, basketball, pickle ball, a gym, a pool, volleyball, equine therapy off site, as well as other rec activities. Be advised that while in detox they strongly encourage you to simply rest due to safety concerns. Also, the pool, equine therapy and offsite activities only occur during PHP.- Housekeeping: This is the only area that really needs some help. While there, housekeeping never came to clean, nor were cleaning materials provided so patients could clean themselves.All that said, this is THE place to go for recovery. Upon my departure, my soul, my mind and my heart were completely changed. I walked out crying because I didn’t want to leave. This entire experience has allowed me to become myself again and has me on a path of achieving all I’ve ever wanted. I am deeply grateful for my experience and I know you will be too!

The following was a post I made when leaving recovery village 2/2020. I have faced adversity, but remained sober and content even in sadness or moments of panic-moments pass.The following was and still is true.I had a wonderful experience! My therapist, Robert, was wonderful and a perfect fit for me! He held me accountable, yet was kind. I also appreciate how he and Shane made my son feel welcome from the beginning of the process. My son LOVED family day with Cindy and even asked to come to another session with her. I always felt Stephen was approachable and all the staff was wonderful. Thank you to Ashley for helping me create a solid follow up plan even with the corona virus happening. I would recommend this program and have it listed in my 911 plan in case of any problem. Thank you to everyone!!!

This was a great experience. Most people leave reviews like this is some resort but it is a recovery center. This was my second time here and I have 158 days. Made lots of friends and built a good network in my sober community. Just remember that recovery is selfish, you have to want it, and that "ITS NOT AN OPTION" -Dr. GUpdate 01/15/2024 (347 days since my last drink)Update: 04/16/2024 I left PLR on 420 (438)

I can't begin to describe what an amazing experience I had here. This was my first rehab experience, and I must say, I think I got really lucky with where I landed.The Recover Village is just that- a village of therapists and behavioral staff that will help you heal and thrive on your journey of sobriety. I was really scared when I initially got there, not having had any experiences with rehab facilities in the past, but as I settled into the Residential and PHP classes, I began to make friends not only with the therapists/staff, but with my fellow peers as well.Although I hope I never have the need to go back, I know that I will always have this place as a safe and healing rehab to come to if I or any of my friends/family members ever need it. Thank you to everyone who made my journey to recovery so successful. Cannot recommend this place enough! I will miss this place.

There was a time before going to Recovery Village at Palmer Lake in which I did not know why I drank alcohol. I knew I wanted to be done and so many parts of were done with alcohol. However, I kept drinking. I have been to literally thousands of hours searching for help professionally and on my own. My education and knowledge has grown immense, but I kept drinking. During and especially after my time at Recovery Village, I now know WHY! The question that baffled me for so long has presented itself with answers that are so valuable. I can confidently say I am done with alcohol and moving into a life that I have wanted for so long. Recovery Village has given me additional tools and skills that will help promote the healthy way of navigating my life. I knew I was done with alcohol from within and now I have the ability to live a life that compliments being done. What I once thought I needed are no longer an option. Thank you from the deepest parts of my heart!!

I have been sober since October 7th, 2022, and my life is so much easier, organized and that alone will keep me on the straight and narrow path to freedom. Thanks Recovery Village!!!

I had an amazing experience at Palmer Lake Recovery. This facility is structured way better than other rehabs in terms of levels of care (up to 2 weeks of residential, then 3 weeks of PHP I, II, III, and then IOP for however long you want to stay. While doing PHP and IOP, you still live at the facility. I found most of the groups and group therapists to be very effective. You are allowed to have your iPhone and laptop which are very rare in rehabs. Food is good and rooms are nice. No electronic cigs. If your insurance will cover it, definitely come here.

The program was amazing. The counselors and therapists were compassionate and supportive. They walked me through each stage of the program and I left The Village with not only the tools that have helped me stay sober the last 8 months but also new coping skills and knowledge about myself that has changed my life and relationships with friends and family. I’m a new person and who I’ve always wanted to be. I have a long ways to go still but I finally feel like I can get there and I have hope for the future instead of despair. The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake changed my life.

The Recovery Village will always live in my heart Rent free for every reason, every person I have met in recovery both patient peer and teacher has been imbedded I’m my way of life and the pursuit of personal freedom that the village opened up for me. I have been wise and lost most my life and it took many trials but in the end I have come very far and yet only begun. This is the exciting part of my new life because I went from “how many days are there?!” To “I have so much time left to continue inventing myself and creating what I find meaningful in every moment” because I was taught to reach with my mind and use that as my greatest tool to experiencing my recovery in full and adapting my new thinking into every essence of who I am. Thank you Recovery Village for the lessons taught to me and for furthering my potential in waking up the genuine ambition within me.

I had a wonderful experience here from the moment I walked in until discharge. Most of the staff are in recovery themselves so they are very compassionate and treat you like a friend. The program is intense but so so good. I learned so much about myself and the addiction I’ve suffered with. There are many activities to keep you having fun and social with others such as volleyball, basketball, corn hole, disc golf, a nice walking trail, pool tables, tv, karaoke night, art & craft supplies etc. I was a little disappointed that they do not offer equine therapy any longer even though it’s advertised on the website, however, I still had a wonderful time. Food is great as well! One downfall is that the facility is not cleaned well regularly, I do wish that was made a priority. I loved that I got to keep my phone to stay in touch with my family and I was able to smoke when I wanted to. Overall I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a solid recovery program.

I could go on forever about how much I love The Recovery Village. I have learned, grown, and changed so much in the past 35 days. Special shout outs to the clinical staff that challenged me and taught me so much with such passion: Cyndi, Arno, Rob, Tami, and Dr. G. The whole staff and my peers fostered an environment that was safe, sober, nurturing, and full of life. Sharing this unique experience with my cohort has created life-long bonds. This is just the beginning and I am forever grateful.Being clean and sober has nothing to do with giving something up. It's about taking everything back.-Katie Brennan

How long is outpatient rehab?

The time spent in outpatient rehab varies from person to person. However, most patients complete their outpatient rehab program in 1–3 months or up to a year.

Is drug or alcohol detox included?

Medical detox is not provided in outpatient rehab. If you need a medical detox to begin your recovery, you can complete a detox at The Recovery Village Palmer Lake prior to starting inpatient or outpatient care.

Does outpatient rehab work?

Many individuals have found recovery through outpatient rehab. Although substance use disorders aren’t curable, the prospect of recovery is real. Patients often witness notable enhancements in physical and mental well-being, relationships, safety, legal standing, employment or education, and relapse duration after their time in care. 

Is transportation provided for outpatient rehab?

No, finding transportation to get to and from outpatient rehab appointments is the patient’s responsibility. Denver Mental Health & Counseling also offers teletherapy sessions for those who would struggle to travel to the treatment center. 

How can I pay for outpatient rehab?

Insurance may cover some or all of outpatient rehab costs. Copays and meeting deductibles may still be involved. Denver Mental Health & Counseling can also help people without insurance develop an affordable payment plan.

Will I lose my job if I go to rehab?

Several laws are in place to protect employees when they attend rehab. Outpatient rehab appointments can also be scheduled around work hours.
