A Way Out

A Way Out As a result of our ongoing efforts, many who are motivated to change and who want help can find it.

We provide resources for clients: which includes addiction assessments, treatment solutions, peer recovery support, family support groups, therapy for family members, and financial aid to motivated alcoholics, addicts and their families. A Way Out is a non-profit organization based in the Western Slope of Colorado that provides counseling referrals, addiction assessments, solution oriented programs, and financial aid to motivated alcoholics, addicts and their families. A Way Out’s focus is to support residents of Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield county, who are unable to secure an appropriate level of care to overcome their addiction(s). We focus on providing the expertise and accountability necessary to empower men, women and teens in these counties with addictive behaviors to thrive in recovery. A Way Out was formed to help people who cannot seem to break the addiction cycle and who truly want to find a new way of life. The organization is comprised of caring individuals committed to helping people find a full life in sobriety.

Thank YOU, our incredible Western Colorado Community, for your generous support of our work this !

Every dollar raised helps remove the financial and logistical barriers that keep people from accessing the life-saving addiction treatment and recovery support they need to begin—and sustain—their recovery journeys.

With Medicaid cuts beginning January 1, critical gaps in access to care are expected to widen, and our work will be more essential than ever. Your donations are allowing us to prepare to meet this growing need head-on, ensuring that we can keep saying ‘yes’ to every individual, family, and teen who reaches out for support.

Missed our Colorado Gives Day fundraiser, but still want to give? It’s never too late to support our work!
