During our 1 year anniversary celebration luncheon, Health Solutions West CEO Jason Chippeaux had the opportunity to discuss our progress with community partners — and that conversation continued with an interview on KREX/Western Slope Now.

Jason shared that access to local care is critical in our region: “You want everybody to have as much access to behavioral health services as is possible in small and rural Colorado,” he said, adding that the distance between Western Colorado and Front Range resources makes local access critical.

Over the past year, Health Solutions West has worked in partnership with community resources to expand access to behavioral health care close to home.

Thank you to our community partners and supporters who make this work possible. Together, we’re strengthening care across rural Colorado — one connection at a time.

Withdrawal Management at Health Solutions West

Medically monitored withdrawal management—often called detox—provides 24/7 medical supervision to help individuals safely navigate the physical and emotional symptoms that can occur when stopping substance use. This support takes place in a controlled, compassionate environment with nurses and medical staff available around the clock.

Withdrawal management is a crucial first step on the recovery journey. It helps stabilize individuals so they can move forward with confidence into the next stage of care.

Our services act as the entry point to a full continuum of support, connecting individuals with the treatment, resources, and long-term recovery paths that best fit their needs.

Recovery starts with a single step—and we’re here to walk that path with you. 💙

To learn more about Withdrawal Management and other recovery services at Health Solutions West, go to www.healthsolutionswest.org or call (877) 603-7045.

• Provide care for clients who are uninsured or who qualify for sliding scale fees through our Continuum of Care Fund • Direct resources to specific office locations throughout our region
• Advance capital projects—like the Youth & Family Wellness Welcome Area at our Grand Junction outpatient building. Every gift strengthens the continuum of care for individuals and families who rely on us.
