Peaks Recovery Centers

For people evaluating long-term recovery options, one of the most practical questions is whether a center can support them through more than one stage. Peaks Recovery Centers addresses that directly by offering medical detox, residential treatment, a standard outpatient program, and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) — all under a single CARF-accredited organization in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

That continuum matters because recovery rarely fits a single episode of care. A person who completes medically supervised detox needs a next step, and a person stepping down from residential treatment needs continued structure. Peaks Recovery Centers is designed around that sequencing, giving clients and their families a recovery center that can stay relevant through multiple phases of the recovery process rather than handing off to a different provider at each transition.

Peaks Recovery Centers formally addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, with specific clinical attention to trauma and PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides the primary therapeutic framework, a method with a strong track record for both substance use disorders and the mental health conditions that frequently accompany them.

For individuals who have tried other programs and found that untreated mental health conditions undermined their recovery, the dual-diagnosis orientation at Peaks Recovery Centers is a meaningful differentiator. Rather than treating substance use and mental health as separate lanes, the center's clinical structure — led by Executive Clinical Director Marissa Prince, PhD, LPC — integrates both into a single treatment approach.

Peaks Recovery Centers serves men, women, young adults between the ages of 18 and 25, veterans, and pregnant women. That breadth of population coverage is less common than it might appear — many facilities specialize narrowly, and serving veterans with TRICARE-accepted insurance alongside young adults and pregnant women reflects intentional program design rather than a catch-all approach.

On the financial access side, the center accepts Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. For veterans in the Colorado Springs region, TRICARE acceptance removes a frequent barrier. For families coordinating care for a young adult or supporting a loved one through residential treatment, the ability to use Medicare or private insurance directly simplifies what is already a complicated process.

Peaks Recovery Centers operates extended hours across the week — Monday through Sunday with morning-through-evening availability — making it easier for prospective clients and family members to reach the admissions team without taking time off work. Admissions Director Erin Greney, CRC, leads that initial contact process. The center can be reached directly at (719) 528-3500 or through the contact form at peaksrecovery.com.

For families doing the work of evaluating a recovery center before a crisis becomes an emergency, that accessibility is practical. Choosing a long-term recovery partner means asking detailed questions about levels of care, clinical approach, and insurance — and having someone credentialed in rehabilitation counseling on the admissions side means those conversations can go deeper than a standard intake script.
