A Year-Long Recovery Continuum
Mile High Recovery Center offers a comprehensive, year-long continuum of care, guiding clients from medical detox through multiple levels of treatment and into a supportive sober living community. This model ensures continuous, personalized support at every stage of the recovery journey.
The first step for many, our detox program provides 24/7 medical supervision to manage withdrawal symptoms safely and comfortably. This crucial phase prepares clients physically and mentally for the therapeutic work ahead in residential treatment.
Program Length: 30-90+ Days

We offer dedicated programming to address the unique experiences and challenges faced by military veterans and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Our staff provides trauma-informed, culturally competent care in a safe, supportive, and understanding environment.
