Peaks Recovery Centers

IT'S A YES. JUST GO. Unfortunately, an issue at home meant my stay ended early - there was a tragic miscommunication amongst staff the day before as well, which they handled with the utmost integrity. It was certainly the only snafu in my experience, and it rightfully belongs in the "sh*t happens" category. Staff had the humility and courage to own the mistake, and that willingness alone was enough to know that I had come to a place full of people who are truly the real deal when it comes to mental health. I left because I had to - not because I wanted to. In fact, I was planning on extending 30 days to complete their PHP, but life called me back home. Make no mistake - were it not for having to leave to handle something horrific back home (I'm from the other side of the country), I would still be there. I woke up this morning aching to go back to the safety, the compassion, the grace, and the mercy of Peaks. The staff are beyond wonderful. They sat with me through the darkest day of my life, and did nothing but love me. I can't describe how supported I felt. I could literally *feel* the empathy of the clinicians, nurses, and medical providers who sat with me and held space through the worst two panic attacks I've ever had. My housemates and I, and especially my roommate, wove a web of support and belonging I had never experienced. (Prior to admission, I literally could not get out of bed or do anything remotely social - I was even finding it hard to leave the house). I had the BEST time being part of a community, which gave me new confidence, and reassurance that I could get back into the game of life. I'm a therapist myself and I would 100% recommend Peaks as a committed, compassionate, caring healing space of the very highest quality. These people have their sh*t together. I have never encountered a place full of people who truly WANT to be there for you. Imagine being asked multiple times per day by staff if there is anything you need to feel supported. Being surrounded by people who know and care whether you've eaten that day, how you slept last night, and whether you need anything else to feel safe was pretty mind-boggling. I would trust Peaks to treat my nearest and dearest with zero hesitation. It will be the only mental health treatment center to which I refer my clients. Thank God for Peaks. Certainly I will forget to name some of the incredible staff, but Faith, Kinnley, Clint, Kara, Holly, Angela, Dr. Nichols, Sasha, JUDY, Cindy, Kyle, Pema, Julia, Chef, Taylor, Tara, Logan (x2), Heather, Eric, Marissa, the various therapists who led group, Bobby, Max in admissions, and Rachel - thank you for giving me a home, and at long last, an accurate mirror. Thank you also for tolerating my dirty blue hair and my massive disco fruit snuggie. I miss everyone already. Although I only got to stay for 10(ish) of the 30 days I had planned, the changes in me are real. I came into Peaks as a 47 year-old adult child, and left as a grown-up. Thank you, Peaks, for turning me back into me. Thank you for restoring my dignity. I will carry a piece of you in my heart always with immense gratitude. There is something spiritual in the particles and energy at this place that truly brought me back to life.

I’m writing this as a parent. After researching several residential facilities it became apparent Peaks in Colorado Springs stood out from the others. We were specifically looking for mental health treatment. From start to finish at their facility there was always involvement in what was going on, (with my adult daughter’s permission of course). Having caring and knowledgeable people to help through an incredibly hard time was needed and so appreciated. Through different stages of her care there was visitation, phone calls and weekly “Zoom type” meetings where families of clients could talk together with a therapist about highs, lows or concerns. The hardest thing to do was feeling like you are handing over your loved one at such a vulnerable time and not knowing what’s going on. Peaks has so much compassion in knowing that. Thank you to all who went above and beyond. From inquiring to admissions to all the financial stuff to treatment to food. Thank you for your tenderness and kindness.

As a parent, you always want the best for your child~no matter what their age~ with the best outcome. Peaks seems to have been the right decision for us! The caring staff, especially Sarah, who went over and above for us, the seemingly well rounded programs, the positive feedback we receive from our son, all add up to us feeling that this is one of the best rehabs we could have chosen.

I went to Peaks over 2.5 years ago. I’ve tried to put in words a few times what it has done for me and was never able too. I’m going to attempt it now. I have been to treatment 5 times total & with each time I was in a hurry to get out. Except for my last time which was at Peaks. I was surprised to see how much every member of the staff cared, and I mean every single staff member! People would be shocked to learn that not all treatment centers are like that.. In fact, most aren’t like that. Every staff member went out of their way to make me feel comfortable, to make me feel at home in a way. I will never forget Peaks and everything they have done for me. I recommend them to anyone who is struggling and is looking for a center that truly cares.

Being at Peaks was life changing for me! I’ve been through other treatment before and this was hands down the best experience I’ve had! It was more than just dealing with my addiction. I learned to focus on my mental health and build healthy habits. I also love that they have alumni meetings every week and multiple ways to stay connected. I’m going on 1 year and 7 months sober with consistent contact with people I’ve met through Peaks. You really do become family here!
