Accessible Sessions for Court-Ordered Support

Structured DUI/DWAI education and therapy is designed for clients with court-ordered treatment and education. Level I Education includes 12 hours across six sessions, while Level II Education provides 24 hours across 12 sessions. Clients needing additional support complete Level II Therapy, ranging from 42 to 86 hours of group sessions. For those with multiple impaired-driving offenses, the Level II Four-Plus program involves at least 18 months and 180 hours of treatment, guided by clinical assessments and court requirements.

Relapse Prevention and Accountability Measures

The facility also provides outpatient counseling and relapse prevention support. Services include individual and group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, trauma-related counseling, and 12-step facilitation. Relapse prevention therapy teaches skills to manage high-risk situations and reduce the likelihood of returning to substance use. Drug and alcohol testing services, including urine, oral fluid, and breathalyzer monitoring, are also available.

Helping Clients Change Harmful Behaviors

The facility offers therapy that follows Colorado’s Domestic Violence Offender Management Board standards. Clients are assigned to programming based on risk assessment and evaluation, ranging from weekly group therapy to additional clinical interventions. Anger management therapy is a 12-week program with a cognitive behavioral approach to help individuals address recurring anger concerns.

Alleviating Financial Barriers to Care

Offering affordable treatment makes taking this important step easier for more people to achieve. As an approved Colorado Medicaid provider, many clients can access services at low or no cost. Clients can complete the intake process in person or online through a secure portal. The center also offers telehealth options for greater flexibility.
