Recovery Programs & Services

Our cornerstone program matches each participant with a Certified Peer Support Specialist (CPSS) who shares lived recovery experience. Through individualized recovery planning, weekly one-on-one sessions, facilitated group circles, and crisis check-ins, participants develop the recovery capital needed for lasting change. Navigation services include coordinated referrals to treatment providers, benefits enrollment assistance for Medicaid and SNAP, housing search support, transportation vouchers, and connection to sober social activities. The program operates on a no-wrong-door philosophy: regardless of where someone is in their journey, we meet them there without judgment or precondition.

Economic stability is one of the strongest predictors of sustained recovery. Our twelve-week workforce reintegration track addresses the practical barriers that keep individuals from meaningful employment. Participants receive professional resume development, mock interview coaching with real hiring managers, professional attire through our clothing partnership, digital literacy training covering email, spreadsheets, and job search platforms, and direct introductions to our network of forty-two recovery-friendly employers across industries including construction, hospitality, healthcare support, warehousing, and administrative services. Financial literacy workshops running parallel to the career track cover budgeting fundamentals, credit report repair, opening bank accounts, and understanding pay stubs and tax filing.

Addiction affects entire family systems, and healing those relationships is often critical to sustained recovery. Licensed Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFTs) trained in addiction family dynamics facilitate our structured eight-session reunification track. Sessions progress through trust assessment, communication skill building, healthy boundary negotiation, collaborative recovery planning, and relapse contingency agreements. Separate children and youth support groups, led by certified child life specialists, provide age-appropriate spaces for young people to process their experiences. We also offer family-only support groups for parents, siblings, and partners seeking guidance independent of the individual in recovery.

Our harm reduction program operates on the principle that saving lives is the first priority, regardless of whether an individual is currently pursuing abstinence. Community health workers distribute free naloxone (Narcan) kits at weekly events, train bystanders in overdose recognition and response, provide fentanyl test strips, and offer warm referrals to treatment when individuals express interest. Mobile outreach teams visit encampments, shelters, and community gathering points across Denver and Adams Counties. Since launching in 2018, the program has distributed over six thousand naloxone kits and documented more than four hundred confirmed overdose reversals in the community.

Stable housing is the foundation upon which recovery is built. Our housing navigators maintain current relationships with NARR-certified recovery residences, Oxford Houses, transitional living facilities, and affordable housing programs across the Front Range. Services include application assistance, deposit support through partner grants covering up to the first month, roommate compatibility assessments, landlord mediation, and ongoing tenancy support to prevent eviction. For individuals exiting treatment or incarceration, our rapid re-housing coordination bridges the critical gap between institutional discharge and independent living through partnerships with the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless and Denver Housing Authority.

For individuals with sustained recovery who wish to transform their experience into a career helping others, our seventy-two-hour Peer Support Specialist training program prepares graduates for the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health certification examination. The curriculum covers ethics and boundaries, motivational interviewing techniques, trauma-informed care, crisis de-escalation, cultural humility, documentation standards, and supervised practicum hours. Graduates gain access to our employment pipeline connecting certified specialists with behavioral health agencies, hospitals, courts, and community organizations across the state. Tuition assistance and stipends are available for qualifying participants.
