What to Expect from Our Residential Addiction Treatment Services

Our residential treatment program includes group counseling, individual counseling, next step preparation, and discharge planning. Counseling plays a crucial role in our program, as it helps to understand the root cause of the addiction, develop coping mechanisms, and acquire the skills needed for long-term recovery. We will empower each client to overcome their addiction and build a foundation for sustained recovery.

If you’ve experienced trauma and now struggle with your memory, you are not alone. Yes, PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) can directly affect your memory, causing a range of issues from memory loss and “brain fog” to having intensely vivid, intrusive memories of the traumatic event.

This happens because intense trauma can alter brain function, particularly in areas responsible for memory processing and emotional regulation, like the hippocampus and amygdala. Understanding this connection is a key part of healing from trauma.

You don’t have to have it all figured out.

Before you move forward, pause and check in with yourself.
That’s where healing begins.

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) frequently co-occur, with studies showing that up to half of those with BPD also meet criteria for PTSD, and vice versa. Both conditions share symptoms such as impulsivity, relationship difficulties, and emotional dysregulation, often rooted in trauma, which can complicate diagnosis when they present together. Effective treatment addresses both disorders simultaneously—combining trauma-informed psychotherapy for PTSD with therapies like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to build emotional regulation and mindfulness skills for BPD. Medication may be added to manage co-occurring anxiety or depression, but psychotherapy remains the cornerstone of care. For individuals with severe symptoms or concurrent addiction, residential treatment programs offer intensive support through round-the-clock supervision, individual and group therapy, and specialized tracks for populations like first responders and military veterans.

Starting therapy is a powerful step, but it’s common to feel unsure about what to say or where to begin. Organizing your thoughts before a therapy session can help you maximize your time, reduce anxiety, and make progress toward your goals. A little preparation ensures you can communicate your feelings and experiences more clearly.

Whether you’re beginning your first session or are a few months in, these strategies can help you get the most out of your therapy at our Colorado treatment center.
