Withdrawal Seizures: Which Substances Cause Life-Threatening Complications?

Not all withdrawal is dangerous, but withdrawal from certain substances can trigger seizures that turn a difficult recovery process into a medical emergency. Understanding which substances create seizure risks during withdrawal—and why medical supervision becomes not just helpful but potentially lifesaving—is essential information for anyone considering recovery or supporting someone through it. Withdrawal seizures represent one

Polysubstance Withdrawal: Managing Multiple Dependencies Simultaneously

When alcohol isn't the only substance in your system, withdrawal becomes exponentially more complicated. Polysubstance withdrawal occurs when someone who has been using multiple substances stops or reduces their consumption, triggering simultaneous withdrawal syndromes that overlap, interact, and complicate recovery in ways that single-substance withdrawal doesn't. In 2024, approximately 93% of fentanyl-positive drug tests also contained

Opioid Withdrawal: Physical and Emotional Symptoms to Expect

Opioid withdrawal is one of the most challenging aspects of recovery, but understanding what to expect can help you prepare mentally and physically for the journey ahead. While withdrawal symptoms are uncomfortable, they're temporary—and with proper medical support, you can navigate this phase safely and more comfortably. At Healing Pines Recovery, we've supported hundreds of men

The leadership and staff were committed to my success.

Paul is a man of integrity which flows through his team. I have been to other recovery programs and HPR stands far above them all. The small group structure offers a more intimate and personalized experience. This was so much more beneficial to my recovery than facilities preaching a "one-size-fits-all" solution to larger and fragmented groups. It was like having personal and knowledgeable therapists dedicated to me for a full month! They went out of their way to understand the root of my challenges and construct a path for improvement that is unique and relatable to me. This was a huge benefit!

Healing Pines Recovery probably saved my life.

Healing Pines Recovery probably saved my life. My alcoholism had been spiraling out of control by the time I arrived. I didn’t know what to expect in rehab other than I would go thirty days without drinking. Healing Pines provided me so much more than a brief spell of sobriety. The holistic approach to recovery equipped me with the tools I needed to start a lifetime free of alcohol. I benefited from so many aspects of treatment: behavioral therapy, individual counseling, medical diagnosis, recreation, informal interactions with the staff and fellow residents, and even the serene Colorado setting. Healing Pines was truly therapeutic from both addiction-recovery and overall mental health perspectives. I left there not only on a trajectory to permanent sobriety but also a better person. Paul, the therapists, and everyone else at Healing Pines are amazing. What impresses me most is how they genuinely care so much about my success in recovery. That level of personal care has continued months after I completed inpatient treatment. HPR supports me in my recovery journey to this day through its outpatient program and the lasting friendships I developed there with staff and residents alike. I enthusiastically recommend Healing Pines to those who are serious about overcoming addiction and who desire a personal and comprehensive approach to their treatment.

I would HIGHLY recommend HPR to any one

I spent 30 days at HPR and I would HIGHLY recommend it to any one who is waiting to start the process of beating additional. The counselors are amazing! You really learn what you need to have the tools to succeed. It is a very comfortable atmosphere with a beautiful scenery. Daily activities are very beneficial to understanding a lot about yourself as well as learning what is needed in continuing your goal of sobriety. HPR gives you the personal attention that leads to education and success. By far the best place in Colorado in my humble opinion.

Best decision I’ve ever made was going here.

Best decision I’ve ever made was going here. The staff is incredible and the ranch is beautiful. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to work on and learn about myself. This isn't just a place to dry out, you get out of it what you put into it. Everyone here is serious about their recovery and supports each other, it’s a brotherhood. Can’t thank Paul and the staff enough, HPR is truly special.

Ryan B.

It saved my life, in every sense.

I spent a month at Healing Pines Recovery. The actual location itself is unreal. A beautiful cabin lodge, with gorgeous scenery. The rooms are large, queen beds, very comfortable! Great bathrooms with great showers! There is a pool table, slam jam, (Christine! 😉 frisbee golf, and daily access to a nearby gym. The property also has a pickle ball court that was used daily, Zoey the counselor beat us men constantly!

Healing Pines Recovery helped me find healthy ways to deal with underlying factors contributing to my addictions.

Healing Pines Recovery helped me find healthy ways to deal with underlying factors contributing to my addictions. The holistic treatment process they guided me through showed me how to improve myself mentally, physically, and emotionally. The staff is caring, hands on, with you every step of the way, and gives you a program that is specific to your recovery. I am very fortunate to be involved with such a lovely community and provided me with contacts and advice for my continued care after completing the program. Having a smaller group of residents (~6 people) allowed a personal experience and relationships to blossom during my stay. I would highly recommend HPR to anyone wanting to overcome their addiction and create a plan for long term sobriety.

My experience with Healing Pines Recovery has been wonderful.

My husband was their client, and they helped him be able to help himself. He is doing amazing! I think the combination of counseling, physical labor, meditation, AA, and just the beauty of the place itself all had a very positive impact on him. They really cared about him, and that did not stop just because he came home. Also they have counseling for the families and it has really helped me a lot. Heather is awesome! I thank God that we had them in our lives when we were most vulnerable.

Susan M

We wanted to share our gratitude to the staff.

Our son was under the care of Healing Pines recently and we wanted to share our gratitude to the staff. There were many challenges in his pursuing treatment, and thankfully Paul and Heather C helped us navigate all of them skillfully with patience and compassion.

A wonderful place to recover

Healing Pines saved my life and I would recommend anyone with drug/alcohol addictions to go there for treatment. It’s a wonderful place to recover and the therapists on staff are great at bringing perspective, conflict management, self acceptance/self awareness, and getting to the root of the problem. The insight they bring in group therapy was very therapeutic and important to my growth towards my path to sobriety. Paul is a perfect role model for men with substance abuse. They will show you the way to a healthy life and get you back on track.

You'll get your life back!

Healing Pines Recovery is/was instrumental in setting me up for long term success in my recovery journey. I've been to treatment centers in the past and HPR is nothing like anything I've attended before. They're very small, intimate, and hands-on approach to recovery was exactly what I was looking for when seeking treatment. I knew that a large, one size fits all program like those offered by many other treatment centers in Colorado wouldn't provide me with the help I desperately needed. Paul and his Team are incredible and I would highly recommend HPR to anyone who needs help starting their recovery journey. Big shout out to James for all of his guidance during my time at HPR. His grace, knowledge, understanding, and direction were/are key to my continued success in recovery. One HUGE piece of the puzzle I love is the after care I've received from HPR... I am in constant contact with Paul, James, and many other staff members through the their alumni programs and it has helped me so much with life after HPR. This program was truly a miracle in my life and I know it will be for many other men struggling with addiction and/or alcoholism. You'll get your life back!

This is truly a great recovery facility.

My learning experience here was something I’ll take with me throughout my whole life. The staff here will always be a part of my family and I am beyond thankful for everything they have done and continue to do for my well-being.

I can't speak more highly of Healing Pines Recovery & Addiction Center.

It is located in a beautiful Colorado location with lots of outdoor activities and fresh air. They have a very knowledgeable and professional staff that goes above and beyond to meet your needs.

By far the best place to get the tools you need to begin your recovery

From the absolutely beautiful area Healing Pines Recovery is surrounded by, to the staff that shows you that they sincerely care about each of the patients that come through the doors, it is by far the best place to get the tools you need to begin your recovery. There are so many things do to on the ranch and they incorporate therapy into every activity that we did, making it fun and educational in regard to recovery. You get the individual attention that you need a long with group sessions that are small enough to be comfortable, as well as getting the connection needed for recovery. The beds are comfortable, the food is amazing, and the all-around vibe of the place is peaceful and relaxing. Thank you so much Healing pines, Paul and all of the staff for changing my life! I will be forever grateful for what you have given me!!

Adam O.

I couldn’t have been at a more amazing place to begin this journey.

Seriously an amazing place. Everything from how beautiful the house and the property it sits on down to every person staffed there was nothing less than perfect. More than highly recommended in every sense. If you’re reading this and trying to find the right place for treatment and recovery I would absolutely look no further. Everyone’s recovery is different and we all need a comfortable place with people we can trust through this battle, healing pines understood that everyone’s path is different and they 100% cater to that. I couldn’t have been any luckier with finding Healing Pines. I won’t go any deeper and start to thank everyone there individually, But I want to express my gratitude to everyone on the HEALING PINES TEAM. Without you all, my path in sobriety would not look anywhere near the way it looks today. Seriously from the bottom of my heart thank you!

HPR gave me the tools to re-enter the world with confidence in my newfound sobriety.

HPR gave me the tools to re-enter the world with confidence in my newfound sobriety. Before making my decision to attend this facility Paul spent multiple hours on the phone with me and my family answering our questions and concerns, and taking time to really get to know me and understand where I was with my addiction. Our phone calls put me at ease. Despite the fact that I had to travel halfway across the country to attend HPR, I went in with an extreme sense of calm and security knowing that Paul and the rest of the HPR staff were there to help me. The program is built to focus on the individual, rather than feeling lost in a crowd of 20-30 people, the house only keeps 6 guys at a time, which made me feel focused on. The smaller group quickly results in the closeness of those at the house. During my stay at HPR, I got incredibly close with my housemates; watching movies, playing disc golf, going on hikes, playing pickle ball, shooting pool, making music together or just sitting out talking by the fire at night, and when I needed alone time, the house is more than big enough for me to step away from the group and have some solitude. The location is breathtaking, the staff are incredible, and I could easily continue this review with countless positive things to say, but I have run out of characters so I will end with this: If you have made it this far in this review and are still on the fence, don't be, you will not find a better place than HPR!

Sean S.

Healing Pines is a truly wonderful place.

Healing Pines is a truly wonderful place. The amount of compassion that all of the staff exhibit on a daily basis is amazing. The facilities truly are beautiful and the program is wonderful. I will forever be grateful for Healing Pines and the entire staff.

Healing Pines Recovery (HPR) has truly been a life changing experience for me.

Healing Pines Recovery (HPR) has truly been a life changing experience for me. After years of suffering pain and loss through my addiction, HPR has inspired me to positive action and change to my inner self. The ranch is very clean and is nestled on 40 wooded acres offering a scenic view of the Rockies. The queen beds are comfortable and the meals are delicious (Thank you Cathy!) It is a serene environment and a perfect escape that allowed me to shut out the "noise" and focus on my recovery. The leadership and staff were committed to my success. Paul is a man of integrity which flows through his team. I have been to other recovery programs and HPR stands far above them all. The small group structure offers a more intimate and personalized experience. This was so much more beneficial to my recovery than facilities preaching a "one-size-fits-all" solution to larger and fragmented groups. It was like having personal and knowledgeable therapists dedicated to me for a full month! They went out of their way to understand the root of my challenges and construct a path for improvement that is unique and relatable to me. This was a huge benefit! Thanks for helping me to heal and change my life!
