About Recovery Unlimited
Located in Colorado Springs' eastern Knob Hill area, Recovery Unlimited specializes in the treatment of substance use disorders for both individuals and couples, while also addressing accompanying mental health issues and trauma. Their services feature off-site detoxification and a comprehensive 12-week intensive outpatient program (IOP).
The dedicated staff of 25 professionals assists over 500 clients simultaneously. Clients have the option to undergo detox either at home or at the nearby El Paso County Detoxification Center, which is just 15 minutes away from Recovery Unlimited.
The IOP operates by appointment every day of the week, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., and also welcomes walk-ins on weekdays. Participants receive weekly support that includes 9 hours of group therapy and personalized sessions with a licensed counselor. Treatment modalities employed include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, both of which effectively tackle co-occurring mental health issues, trauma, and the root causes of addiction. The center also assists in medication management and administers Vivitrol and Suboxone to aid clients in their recovery journey. Regular drug screenings are conducted to ensure adherence and progress.
To avoid the risk of further addiction, Recovery Unlimited refrains from prescribing medications such as Ambien, sedative hypnotics, opioids, benzodiazepines, or stimulants. Their peer support initiative offers guidance for sustained recovery.
Moreover, Recovery Unlimited provides level 4+ DUI services and parole assistance to help clients maintain their freedom and focus on recovery. They can also refer clients to primary care providers for additional medical attention as needed.
Free family support sessions are offered weekly, lasting 90 minutes, to create a nurturing environment for clients during their recovery process. Recovery Unlimited envisions "a world free from chemical addiction" and upholds values of trust, compassion, accountability, and respect. The owner is a certified Colorado Addiction Counselor III (CACIII), supported by a leadership team comprising licensed counselors and administrative personnel.
