Outpatient Drug Rehab Colorado Springs

If you experience withdrawal symptoms when you try to stop substance use, this is usually a sign of drug or alcohol addiction. In these cases, receiving addiction treatment services at a recovery center can be beneficial.

At our Colorado Springs Rehab Center, we offer addiction treatment programs in an outpatient setting, which means you would sleep at home, but receive treatment at our center during the day.

The most effective way to determine if outpatient treatment level of care is the right path for you is to consult with a healthcare provider. You can also call our dedicated admissions team with any questions you have. They can provide advice and help you decide your next steps.

Our partial hospitalization programming (PHP) lasts 4 weeks, while our intensive outpatient programming (IOP) lasts 12 weeks. That said, your customized substance abuse treatment might vary based on unique circumstances of your situation.

Some of the factors that can vary the length of recovery programs at the Sandstone Care Colorado Springs Outpatient Center are:

• What substances you are in addiction recovery from
• How long you have been drinking or using drugs
• How frequently you have been drinking or using drugs
• Your overall physical and mental health
• Any other underlying health conditions you may have

Please note that the above time frames are for outpatient treatment only. Inpatient rehabilitation, or detox, lasts 5-21 days.

Once your programming is complete (either PHP or IOP in Colorado Springs), our Discharge Planners will sit with you to discuss your aftercare options, and make any needed referrals for continued care.

Yes! The first step in finding out if our drug rehab centers are right for you is to complete our quick and easy Insurance Verification to see if we accept your health insurance. Please note that we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.

Colorado Springs Outpatient does not provide MAT or medically-supervised withdrawal as part of its PHP or IOP programs. Psychiatric services are available as part of treatment, and your care team can help address medication needs alongside your broader treatment plan. If you need detox or withdrawal support before beginning outpatient care, our Admissions team can help connect you with one of our detox centers, or another level of care that fits your needs.

The Colorado Springs Outpatient Center is located near I-25, but the entrance can be easy to miss. When you arrive, look for the Sandstone Care sign on the rock outside the building and use one of the four designated Sandstone Care parking spaces. Be sure your directions are taking you to the Colorado Springs Outpatient Center, not the Colorado Springs Detox Center. If you are unsure where to go, our team can help you confirm the correct location before your appointment.

Most patients spend about 3–4 weeks in PHP and around 12 weeks in IOP, but everyone’s treatment timeline is different. Your team will look at how you’re doing, what support you still need, and what will help you keep making progress. The goal is not to move everyone through treatment on the same schedule, but to make sure you have the right level of support for as long as it is helpful.

We do not offer MAT as a part of our outpatient rehab programming, but we do offer MAT as an important part of our Detox programming.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is proven to be effective in treating substance use disorders, especially in combination with evidence-based therapy and counseling. Our personalized programming is designed to learn your needs and goals so we can choose the best course of treatment for your specific challenges. By offering medically-supervised withdrawal from drug abuse, we help our clients recover quickly and safely from drug or alcohol use.

We also recognize that not all situations call for MAT. Our medical team will evaluate your individual needs and determine if medication management is appropriate for you. Learn more about Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) here.

Loved ones play a vital role in your overall wellness. As a part of the holistic treatment at our drug and alcohol rehab center, individual family therapy sessions are offered bi-weekly to examine the role the family plays in behavioral health. Our program also utilizes weekly multi-family psychotherapy groups to reinforce new skills and support your family during the rehabilitative care process.

Multifamily Group brings patients and members of their support system together with other families in a clinician-led group. It creates space to build communication skills, better understand what your loved one is working on in treatment, and learn alongside other people navigating similar experiences.

Connection is key in recovery and relapse prevention. Our case management team will work with you and your family to find the best way to foster that connection.

Group therapy is the foundation of our PHP and IOP programs, but your care is still built around your individual needs. Your goals, treatment plan, individual sessions, and level of support are personalized to you. You’ll also work with clinicians across our treatment team, giving you support from multiple perspectives throughout the program.

We provide inpatient and outpatient centers across Colorado, including Denver, Boulder, Cascade, and Colorado Springs. See a complete list of our Colorado locations here.
