We treat depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, and bipolar disorder in adult men, including men whose mental health and substance use have become impossible to separate. Our facility sits on a quiet property in Elizabeth, about an hour southeast of Denver.
You don’t have to have it figured out before you call. Most men don’t. If you’re ready to start, you can verify your insurance coverage through our admissions team in a few minutes.

Men’s mental health treatment at Healing Pines Recovery is licensed clinical care for adult men, delivered in a men-only setting at either the residential or intensive outpatient level. A man lives on-site or attends structured programming, works with a consistent clinical team, and follows a treatment plan built for him rather than a standard curriculum.
The men-only part isn’t a marketing detail. It changes what gets said in the room, and what gets said in the room is the treatment. That principle runs through everything in our men’s only rehab program.
We are a boutique program. Our census is small on purpose, so a man here is known by name by every member of his team, and his plan gets revisited as he changes rather than at a scheduled review date. You can see more about our boutique treatment setting and what the property is like.
We treat the mental health conditions most commonly seen in adult men, and we treat them the way they actually present rather than the way they appear in a diagnostic manual.
This condition involves persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities that once brought joy. Depression can impact how men manage daily responsibilities, work performance, and relationships.
Men with bipolar disorder experience dramatic shifts in mood, energy levels, and activity levels. These mood swings include periods of intense highs (mania or hypomania) and lows (depression), which can disrupt their lives.
The difference is what men are willing to say, and how long it takes them to say it.
In a mixed-gender group, most men manage their image, staying composed and problem-solving instead of disclosing. That habit costs weeks, and in a thirty-day stay, weeks are most of what you have. In a men-only room it runs out of road faster, because everyone present recognizes the posture. That’s when men’s group therapy starts doing real work.
What a men’s-only setting does specifically:
We work with most major commercial insurance plans which can help cover up to 100% of the costs associated with treatment.
At Healing Pines Recovery, our treatment philosophy is centered on providing compassionate, individualized care that addresses the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. We believe that successful mental health treatment involves not only addressing the symptoms but also understanding and treating the underlying causes of mental health disorders. Our approach combines evidence-based practices with holistic therapies to create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to the unique needs of each client.
Our mental health programs are grounded in evidence-based practices that have been proven effective in treating a wide range of mental health disorders. These include:
In addition to evidence-based practices, we integrate holistic treatment methods that promote overall wellness and balance. These therapies help clients connect with themselves on a deeper level and enhance their recovery process. Our holistic offerings include:
At Healing Pines Recovery, we understand that each individual’s journey to mental wellness is unique. That’s why we develop personalized treatment plans that are specifically designed to meet the individual needs of each client. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with clients to assess their mental health status, identify their goals, and create a customized plan that includes a combination of therapies most suited to their situation. Whether through individual therapy, group sessions, or holistic practices, we are committed to guiding our clients toward lasting recovery and a fulfilling life.
Yes. Treating them separately is usually why neither one stays fixed.
A large share of the men who come to us have been through treatment before, for the drinking or for the pills, and relapsed. Often what was never addressed is the reason the substance was doing a job in the first place: the depression, the trauma, or the anxiety that made a drink the only reliable way to sleep.
Treat the substance use alone and the original problem is still there, still needing a solution. Our dual diagnosis treatment for men is built to prevent exactly that outcome.
Integrated care here means one clinical team and one plan. The clinician working on the trauma is the same clinician who knows what the drinking looked like. Nothing gets handed off between programs, and nothing gets treated in a vacuum. That applies whether the substance is alcohol or any of the drugs we treat.
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. 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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

Come discover why Healing Pines Recovery is you top choice for men’s addiction treatment in Colorado and beyond.
Most major commercial PPO plans include behavioral health benefits that apply to residential and intensive outpatient mental health treatment. Coverage depends on your specific plan, your deductible, and medical necessity criteria. The only way to know your actual out-of-pocket cost is a verification of benefits, which takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
No, we’re not able to accept Medicaid or Medicare. If that’s your only coverage, call us anyway. We’ll help point you toward resources that may be the right fit.
Length of stay depends on the diagnosis, the severity of symptoms, and how a man responds to treatment. Residential stays are commonly measured in weeks rather than days, and many men step down into our intensive outpatient program afterward rather than ending treatment abruptly. Your length of stay is set with your clinical team, not fixed in advance.
Yes. Integrated dual diagnosis treatment is a core part of what we do. Both conditions are handled by the same clinical team on a single treatment plan, because treating them separately is a common reason recovery doesn’t hold.
Residential makes sense when symptoms are making daily life unmanageable, when the home environment is part of what’s keeping a man sick, or when outpatient treatment has been tried and didn’t hold. Intensive outpatient can work when symptoms are meaningful but a man has a stable home and real support around him. We work this out with you on the first call.
Men tend to manage their image in mixed-gender groups, which slows down disclosure, and disclosure is where the clinical work happens. In a men-only setting, that performance runs out of road faster, and the group gets to the real material in weeks rather than months.
That’s one of the most common presentations we see. In men, depression, anxiety, and trauma often surface as irritability, anger, overwork, or emotional numbness rather than sadness. A man doesn’t need to identify with a diagnosis to be assessed, and plenty of men arrive without language for what’s wrong.
Yes. A large share of our calls come from wives, parents, and siblings. We can talk through what you’re seeing, what treatment would involve, and how to approach the conversation with him. We treat adult men only, and he’ll need to make the decision himself, but the first call doesn’t have to be his.
The first step can be the hardest. Fill out the form or call us at (720) 575-2621. You will be connected with a Healing Pines Recovery specialist who can answer your questions and help you get started.
