Adult Addiction Outpatient Services - Hope is the first thing our Intensive Outpatient program offers. Recovery from addiction is a process. It takes a significant amount of courage, open-mindedness and willingness to make life changes. New ways of thinking and behaving will help participants realize more completely their goals in life. The Intensive Outpatient Treatment Team is here to support and guide participants by providing tools necessary tools, access to community resources and mental health support when needed. The Intensive Outpatient program provides a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week. Treatment is provided through group therapy and individual outpatient counseling sessions. Case management is also included to help clients access basic needs and resources to increase the likelihood of recovery.
Substance Monitoring - SummitStone provides substance screening including breath tests, urinalysis, oral swabs, hair testing and sweat patches. Research shows that substance monitoring during treatment helps clients to be more accountable to their recovery, and it helps clinicians to know when treatment interventions need to be adjusted.
Mental Health - Most mental illnesses are successfully treatable by combining outpatient therapies (whether it be group and individual counseling for adults or family and child counseling), mental health support services, and medication. SummitStone Health Partners is at the leading edge of providing evidence-based treatment with proven results. That means that you can trust that you and your family members will receive the mental health care and support you need and deserve. Mental illness has lots of names: depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADHD (Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder), OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder), panic disorder, phobias, and more. These are brain-based, biological illnesses - and are just as real as any other illness like diabetes, cancer, or heart disease. And, like these other illnesses, they require professional health care to manage and recover.

Qualifying for assistance from Colorado's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Colorado's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
