Our Colorado addiction treatment center is located within driving distance from both Elbert County and Douglas County, in a beautiful, serene setting.

Amazing Stories

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!

I spent a month at Healing Pines Recovery. It saved my life, in every sense. 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! The staff is so incredible. Words can't do them justice, but I'll try! The homecooked meals daily were amazing. Thank you Kathy for keeping me well fed, and everything you have done for me! James is wonderful, his knowledge runs deep and when he teaches, he has a way of connecting the 12steps to real life experiences, and this is something that will stick with me forever. ALL the counselors are truly warm, genuine, and welcoming, thank you all!! Paul, the owner is very hands on and we continue to be friends to this day. All of the staff will be in my life going forward, as friends and people to get great support from.

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.

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. The treatment while onsite was excellent, the facility is outstanding and creates a perfect environment for recovery. We were never once concerned for our son's safety or general well being. The program is holistic, and very personalized which we believe to be key parts of their success formula. Residential recovery is only the first step in his journey, and the most appreciated element of our experience has been the advocacy as our son moves to next steps in his process. It's easy to become overwhelmed with the options and Paul, Heather C and Heather L have been fully engaged in these steps.

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!

HPR is a place that gave me the time and start to really focus on myself for the first time in my life. Paul and his entire staff are so welcoming and made me feel right at home for the 35 days I spent there. Making the decision to go to a place like HPR was one of the biggest decisions I have ever made and I am so glad I did. I was scared and didn’t know what I was getting into and it ended up with a brotherhood with the guys and staff I will continue to connect with and support probably for the rest of my life. HPR gave me the opportunity to finally focus on myself which was lacking my entire life. They gave me tools to succeed in the real world and continue to be apart of my recovery. The small group that we had was perfect for me as I felt if I had gone to a bigger facility with more people I would have been left out. This gave me the opportunity to talk and be real right from the beginning even if I was scared. HPR will be a part of my life and story of how I was able to turn my life completely around. I can’t say enough about these guys but I truly owe them my life and thank them so much for helping me get my life back.

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

Approaches to Recovery

The holistic treatment approach at our Colorado drug rehab means we focus on working with our clients to determine which tools and programs will best support their successful recovery from drug addiction. Tools learned in therapy sessions are supported by effective alternative programs for recovery:

Smart Recovery (Self Management and Recovery Training)

SMART Recovery is mental health and educational program focused on changing human behavior. Instead of dredging up the past (about which we can do nothing), SMART emphasizes that we can do something about the present and the future. Meetings focus on applying SMART’s tools for change, helping clients lead a more productive and connected life.

SMART Recovery helps to create behavioral change by using a 4-Point Program: (1) Building and maintaining the motivation to change. (2) Coping with urges to use. (3) Managing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in an effective way without addictive behaviors. (4) Living a balanced, positive, and healthy life.
