Drug and Alcohol Detox in Colorado

What Is Medical Detox?

Medical detox is a fundamental first step in addiction treatment. During a medically supervised detox, the body removes drugs and alcohol from its system, which can involve uncomfortable or dangerous withdrawal symptoms. Our medical team provides 24/7 supervision and treatment for symptoms to make detox as safe and comfortable as possible.

I’m addicted to alcohol or benzodiazepines; these withdrawal symptoms can be fatal

If any of these items apply to you, please call 719-602-0914 now. A Recovery Advocate is standing by to discuss the right treatment plan for you.

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 remeber that recovery is selfish, you have to want it, and that "ITS NOT AN OPTION" -Dr. G Update 01/15/2024 (347 days since my last drink)

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.

Best investment I've made in ME! Personalized treatment, good food and staff that genuinely cares. The medical detox was closely monitored for safety and helped me feel completely secure. Doctors, nurses, and BHTs on site at all times. Not enough room for me to say/write all the great things about PLR!
