Men’s Addiction Treatment in Colorado

Since alcohol is a legal substance, drinking is a popular social activity. Alcohol misuse is a common problem, and it is easy to become addicted. People who struggle with alcohol misuse or addiction can find support from peers through our alcohol treatment programs.

In recent years, there has been a growing problem with improperly prescribing benzodiazepines in Colorado. Although they can help people with anxiety disorders, they can also be harmful if people misuse them. Some people may unknowingly misuse them. For example, a doctor may prescribe a benzodiazepine for a period that is longer than necessary. If a patient only needs acute care, long-term use can be detrimental. We offer effective treatment solutions and resources for people who use benzodiazepines.

Cocaine is a potent stimulant drug derived from the coca plant. It’s known for its quick and intense effects on the central nervous system, resulting in heightened energy, increased alertness, and a euphoric rush. This drug’s addictive nature stems from its ability to rapidly increase dopamine levels in the brain’s reward pathways. Prolonged cocaine use can lead to severe health issues, including cardiovascular problems, respiratory complications, cognitive impairments, and mood disturbances. We can treat cocaine addiction at Spero Recovery center through experiential therapy and counseling.

Methamphetamine, commonly known as “meth,” is a powerful and highly addictive stimulant drug that affects the central nervous system. It comes in various forms, including a crystalline powder and a crystalline form known as “crystal meth.” Methamphetamine use leads to increased energy, heightened alertness, and euphoria, but it also has serious health risks. Prolonged meth use can lead to severe physical and psychological consequences, including dental issues (often referred to as “meth mouth”), skin sores, weight loss, cognitive impairment, and mood disturbances. Treating meth addiction often involves comprehensive behavioral therapies, counseling, and support groups.

Opioids are a class of powerful pain-relieving medications (legal and illegal) that can have a significant impact on the brain’s receptors, leading to pain relief and a sense of euphoria. Many individuals who initially take prescription opioids for pain management due to injuries or surgeries can unintentionally become dependent on them. While medical professionals strive to minimize the prescription of opioids, their availability through illicit channels remains a challenge.

At our facility, we understand the complexities of opioid dependence and abuse. Our approach involves guiding clients toward alternative pain management strategies that don’t involve opioids. We’re dedicated to providing tailored addiction treatment solutions for those grappling with illegal opioid use. Through a combination of therapeutic interventions, counseling, and support, we strive to assist individuals in breaking free from opioid addiction and regaining control over their lives.

Heroin is a dangerous opioid, as well as an illegal substance that cannot be prescribed like some other synthetic opioids. People often inject heroin, facing infection and disease transmission risks. Heroin is just as dangerous as other synthetic opioids and accounts for many deaths. We provide specialized heroin addiction treatment strategies tailored to the unique needs and struggles of clients who use heroin.

Marijuana addiction can affect a person’s mental health, motivation, and overall well-being. Treatment for marijuana addiction often includes therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and counseling, to address underlying issues and develop healthier coping strategies. At Spero Recovery, we offer personalized care to help individuals overcome marijuana addiction and regain control of their lives.

Some people misuse prescription drugs that are not opioids. People may misuse prescription stimulants, sedatives or tranquilizers for enhanced effects. However, misuse can lead to lasting damage. Our prescription drug treatment solutions help clients find healthier ways to cope with their struggles. We can also connect clients to providers who offer clinical care for mental health issues.

At Spero Recovery, our residential addiction treatment program for men in Colorado offers a structured, inpatient environment for those facing substance use disorders. Our gender-specific approach provides men with specialized support to address the unique challenges they face in recovery. We understand that men and women may respond differently to addiction, which is why our inpatient program is tailored to meet the specific needs of men. Group therapy is a central component of our approach, allowing clients to build strong connections with peers while learning practical strategies for managing daily life. Our program also includes outdoor therapeutic activities, promoting personal growth and emotional healing through nature.

Spero Recovery’s 12-step program, based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous, is designed to guide clients through a transformative recovery journey. In our group therapy sessions and big book meetings, men explore the 12 steps and their application to various substance use disorders, including heroin, marijuana, cocaine, and others. By working through the steps, men experience profound changes in their spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being. Our full immersion into the 12-step model provides a road map to long-term recovery, encouraging our clients to continue participating in 12-step meetings for sustained support throughout their lives.

We recognize that recovery doesn’t end when treatment is complete, which is why aftercare is a critical part of our program. At Spero Recovery, we offer personalized aftercare plans to reduce the risk of relapse and provide ongoing support as clients transition back into daily life. Group therapy continues to play a role in aftercare, giving clients a safe space to share their experiences and receive encouragement. Our aftercare solutions are designed to help clients maintain their sobriety while building a strong foundation for the future.

For clients who need additional support after residential treatment, our sober living homes in Colorado offer a safe and structured environment to continue their recovery. Sober living provides a transitional period where clients can apply the skills they learned during inpatient rehab treatment while living in a supportive, substance-free community. We assist clients in finding resources for any specialized clinical or mental health treatment they may require, helping them build a network that promotes long-term success.

Our alumni program helps clients stay connected to the Spero Recovery community after they complete treatment. Through regular group therapy sessions and social gatherings, alumni can continue receiving support and encouragement from peers who understand their journey. The program fosters ongoing accountability and connection, which are key components in sustaining long-term sobriety. Alumni also have the opportunity to participate in outdoor therapeutic activities, reinforcing the tools and skills learned during treatment in a relaxed, natural setting.
