Mountain Springs Recovery

Cozy Space to Heal in the Mountains

This mountain setting provides a quiet, scenic backdrop that supports recovery in a restorative environment. With only a small number of beds, the facility offers a low client-to-staff ratio and a close-knit community. Clients recover in spacious, private bedrooms furnished with king-sized beds, closets, and ensuite bathrooms, many with mountain views. Beyond the living spaces, the center features an outdoor pool, gazebo, fire pit, outdoor patio, fitness center, and recreation room with billiards and ping pong tables. The goal is to combine privacy and comfort with the resources of long-term addiction treatment.

Peer Support Paths To Meet Individual Needs

Multiple recovery pathways are offered to meet diverse personal and spiritual preferences. Traditional 12-Step programs are available to clients who value spirituality, peer accountability, and structured community support. Non-12-Step approaches emphasize evidence-based and secular methods, whereas SMART Recovery meetings use cognitive-behavioral techniques to help individuals manage thoughts and behaviors tied to substance use.

Extended Inpatient Treatment, Removed from Triggers and Distractions

Residential treatment typically follows medical detox, with program lengths available in 30-, 60-, and 90-day options. During treatment, clients participate in evidence-based therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma. Group therapy, family therapy, and relapse prevention counseling are core parts of the schedule.

Nature, Nutrition, and Wellness Promote Whole Person Recovery

Yoga, meditation, mindfulness training, massage, relaxation techniques, art therapy, music therapy, and equine therapy provide stress relief, support physical wellness, and create additional ways to process emotions. Amenities reinforce the therapeutic setting, with healthy meals prepared daily, access to walking trails and nature, and designated work areas for clients who need to stay connected. Clients may use their laptops and cell phones to stay connected to important professional, academic, and personal responsibilities.
