About Peak View Behavioral Health

Peak View Behavioral Health provides a full range of services for adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with mental health and substance use challenges, including dual-diagnosis inpatient, outpatient, and aftercare. The center delivers specialized, individualized treatment for teens, young adults, military personnel, and older adults. Care is led by a multidisciplinary group of psychiatrists and clinicians who use multi-faceted, evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed treatment.

The inpatient program starts with a comprehensive assessment and diagnosis, followed by rapid stabilization for urgent psychiatric symptoms or detox support for those who need it. After stabilization, clients typically transition into residential treatment, where a plan is customized to their specific needs. The residential setting is designed to feel comfortable and welcoming, with mountain views, thoughtful lighting, and on-site features including courtyards and gym spaces.

Services include acute inpatient psychiatric care for adolescents aged 12–17, supported by master’s level therapists and physicians. Peak View coordinates evaluation and diagnosis, works closely with clients and their families to stabilize emotional and behavioral concerns, and provides aftercare assistance to support continued progress.

Treatment includes individualized therapy, medication management, educational programming, and discharge planning. People of all ages who are in crisis can access inpatient psychiatric or substance abuse treatment that blends evidence-based care with experiential and recreational therapies. For severe cases, Peak View also offers elective electroconvulsive therapy for patients with intense depression, suicidal thoughts, or bipolar disorder marked by serious depressive episodes and mania who do not respond to conventional treatment.

For adults with substance use disorders, Peak View offers medically supervised detox, integrated care for co-occurring conditions, personalized treatment, relapse prevention planning, and aftercare services. Detox is overseen by trained medical staff around the clock in a safe and comfortable environment. Clients receive both individual and group therapy, addiction education, and dual-diagnosis support addressing mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety through trauma-informed care.

In the outpatient setting, Peak View offers full-day programming, five days per week. Clients build skills, participate in therapeutic work, and receive client-centered support using evidence-based practices. The center also provides a partial hospitalization program (PHP) and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) as a step down, with final-level outpatient follow-ups delivered in person or virtually. Outpatient options may include experiential therapies such as yoga, art and music therapy, and animal-assisted therapy. These outpatient programs serve adolescents and adults with mental health needs and/or co-occurring substance use disorders, typically scheduling about 3–5 days per week for 3–6 hours daily depending on the specific program.

Peak View Behavioral Health’s care includes family involvement and education as part of the full continuum, along with up to 12 months of aftercare visits and services. The center provides community resources and referrals and can help clients connect with local alumni. Peak View Behavioral Health works with many major insurance plans, and transportation support may be available depending on the situation.
