Men’s Only Rehab in Colorado
A men's only rehab in Colorado is inpatient addiction treatment built specifically for men, pairing medical stabilization and evidence-based therapy with the emotional work that keeps recovery from unraveling.
At Healing Pines Recovery, that means a boutique, men’s-only rehab program on 40 wooded acres in Elizabeth, Colorado, about an hour from Denver and Colorado Springs, where care is delivered by master’s-level clinicians. Here, you’re a person, not a bed number.
For most men, addiction sits on top of something else: unprocessed trauma, chronic stress, shame, or a mental health condition no one ever named. A men-only environment removes the pressure to perform and makes honest conversations possible. As a male-only residential program focused on men’s addiction recovery in Colorado, that’s exactly what we’re built to do. This page explains why that matters, what treatment looks like, and what happens when you reach out.

Why Do Men's Drug Rehab Programs Work?
Men and women often arrive at addiction from different places, and they tend to heal differently. Most men have spent years being told to stay strong, handle it alone, and keep emotions out of view, and that conditioning doesn’t switch off at the door of a treatment center. In a mixed setting, a lot of men perform recovery instead of doing it. A men-only program changes the room: when everyone present is carrying some version of the same weight, the posturing drops and the real work starts sooner.
It makes emotional honesty possible
The hardest part of recovery often isn’t putting down the substance. It’s naming what the substance was managing: grief, fear, anger, shame. In our men’s process groups, among other men doing the same work, those admissions start to feel like progress instead of weakness.
It treats the trauma underneath
For many men, substance use traces back to trauma that was never addressed. We treat both together, sequencing trauma work after stabilization so it’s done safely. Care should address the whole person, not just the substance use.
It rebuilds identity, not just sobriety
Addiction erodes how a man sees himself. We help men rebuild that sense of who they are, as fathers, partners, and workers, so that staying sober is worth it.
It’s built for how men relapse
Isolation and “I’ve got this” self-reliance are common relapse drivers for men. We build in the opposite: accountability, connection, and skills for sitting with hard feelings instead of numbing them.

Our Programs
How Long Is a Men's Rehab Program?
Most men stay in our residential program 30 to 45 days, though the right length depends on clinical needs, progress, and any co-occurring conditions. Some men need longer; some step down sooner into intensive outpatient support. We set the initial length at intake and review it with you throughout your stay rather than holding you to a fixed calendar.
Longer stays generally allow more time to do trauma and dual-diagnosis work, not just stabilize. Your clinical team will be honest with you about what the work in front of you realistically takes.
What Should I Bring to Rehab?
Pack simply and comfortably. You’ll spend your days in therapy, groups, and time outdoors, so bring clothing for that and for changeable Colorado weather. When in doubt, call admissions before you arrive and we’ll walk you through the current list.
How Does Family Fit Into Treatment?
Addiction affects the whole family, and recovery is stronger when family is part of it. We involve loved ones through family therapy and education, and we help everyone learn the difference between supporting recovery and enabling it. With your permission, we also bring families into aftercare and financial planning.
Many programs limit contact in the first days so a man can settle into the work without the pull of outside stress. That’s a clinical choice, not a punishment, and communication opens up as you stabilize. We’ll explain our specific visitation and contact policy during intake so your family knows what to expect.
What Therapies Are Used in the Program?
Our clinical team draws on evidence-based therapies matched to each man’s needs, combined with holistic and experiential work that uses the property itself. Treatment plans typically pair individual therapy and group work with at least one specialized modality.
Trauma-focused therapy, men’s process groups, mindfulness, yoga, and physical fitness round out the plan, matched to what each man is working through.
How to Get Started
What Happens When You Call?
Reaching out is the first step, and it’s a simple one. When you contact our admissions team, we’ll listen to your situation, answer your questions, and explain your options without any pressure. Nothing is decided on that first call.
Getting started with men’s residential treatment generally involves a few things:
- A confidential conversation about what you’re facing and what you’re looking for
- Help understanding your insurance coverage and likely costs
- A clinical assessment to determine the right level of care for you
- An individualized plan built around your needs and goals
- Coordinating the practical details of arriving and beginning care
- Planning for the support that follows residential treatment
Every man’s situation is different, so the clearest way to understand your specific next steps is to call. We’ll walk you through what to expect for you.

Paying For Treatment
Does Insurance Cover Men's Drug Rehab in Colorado, and What Does It Cost?
We work with most major commercial PPO insurance plans and are in-network with Tricare. Coverage varies by plan and by what your insurer deems medically necessary, so the clearest first step is a verification of benefits. We’ll handle the insurance side and give you a written estimate before admission.
For men paying privately, we offer transparent, individualized pricing based on length of stay and clinical needs. We also offer hardship rates and will talk through payment options honestly, without pressure. The clearest way to get an accurate figure for your situation is to contact admissions.
Facility Location
Where is Healing Pines Located?
Our campus sits on 40 wooded acres in Elizabeth, Colorado, a small town roughly an hour from both Denver and Colorado Springs and about 45 minutes from Denver International Airport. The setting is part of the treatment: quiet, private, and away from the triggers of daily life.
Why Choose Healing Pines Recovery?
Men-only, emotionally focused care: Everything, from groups to curriculum to culture, is built around how men process emotion, shame, and connection. It’s not a co-ed program with a men’s track bolted on.
A true boutique setting: With only a handful of men in the program at a time, care is genuinely individualized and no one gets lost. The scale is the point.
Integrated dual-diagnosis treatment: Mental health and substance use are treated together, with psychiatric oversight and coordinated therapy, so the two don’t keep feeding each other.
Master’s-level clinicians: Your plan is built and reviewed by master’s-level clinicians, with progress checked and adjusted throughout your stay.
Founder-led mission: Healing Pines was founded by Paul Leafstedt, who built the program to bring quality, individualized men’s care to the Colorado outdoors. That mission still runs the place.

Frequently asked questions
Many commercial PPO plans cover medically necessary residential treatment, and we’re in-network with Tricare. Coverage depends on your specific plan and medical necessity, so we recommend a free verification of benefits before admission so you know your costs up front.
Most men stay 30 to 45 days in residential care, but the right length depends on your clinical needs and progress. We set it individually at intake and review it throughout your stay rather than holding you to a fixed number.
Possibly. If you’re at risk of moderate-to-severe withdrawal, medically supervised detox usually comes first so you can safely engage in therapy. We assess this during your intake call and coordinate a safe transition into residential care.
A men-only setting removes the social pressure to perform and makes honest emotional work possible sooner. Groups and curriculum are built around how men process shame, trauma, and connection, and around the isolation and self-reliance patterns that often drive relapse in men.
Bring photo ID, your insurance card, current medications in their original bottles, comfortable layered clothing, and a small amount of cash. Leave valuables, weapons, and anything containing alcohol at home. Call admissions before you arrive to confirm the current list.

Yes. We provide integrated dual-diagnosis care for co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, and bipolar disorder, treating them alongside substance use rather than separately.
