Mountain Springs Recovery

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults who want residential treatment in a small, private setting; professionals or executives who may need phone or laptop access during treatment; people seeking care for both substance use and co-occurring mental health conditions; those who want a blend of evidence-based and holistic therapies; have private insurance or can self pay.

• Not a fit if: Those who want a fully unplugged or highly restrictive treatment environment; looking for a large peer community or a more social program; individuals who need hospital-level or more intensive medical care than a residential setting provides; those looking for outpatient-only care without a residential stay.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Personalized planning: The facility develops an individualized treatment plan after administering in-depth medical and psychological assessments that take into account each client's health, substance use history, and recovery goals rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Progress assessments: Clients work with their care team to evaluate their individualized treatment goals and reassess their care plan, to make adjustments throughout treatment.
• Detox and length of stay: Detox is medicated when needed and typically lasts about 3–14 days. The facility offers 30-, 60-, and 90-day residential treatment programs.

Typical schedule

• Structured with flexibility: Clients typically wake around 6:30 a.m., with breakfast at 7 a.m. Therapy groups and educational programming take place throughout the day, with scheduled meals, evening free time, and lights out around 10:30 p.m.

• Daily programming: Treatment includes process groups, addiction education, family dynamics, art therapy, 12-step classes, SMART Recovery support, holistic care options, relapse prevention, coping skills, role-play exercises, life skills and individual therapy multiple times per week.

• Technology and visitation: Weekly outings are available and clients can stay in contact with family during treatment through personal device usage. Computers, a scanner, and a fax machine are also available for client use at designated times. Sunday visitation may be allowed with therapist approval.

Who you will meet with

• Clinical and medical staff: Clinical staff includes a multidisciplinary team that may consist of medical doctors, therapists, counselors, physician assistants, nurses, case managers, behavioral health technicians, and other support staff.
• Therapeutic support: Clients can expect to meet with a therapist multiple times per week in addition to participating in daily group-based programming.

Living experiences and amenities

• Luxury, home-like setting: The program is set near the Rocky Mountains and national forest land, providing a quiet comfort-focused recovery environment.
• Small program size: With six beds, the facility offers a low client-to-staff ratio and a quieter, more personalized environment.
• Comfort-forward accommodations: Clients stay in spacious shared bedrooms with king-size beds, dressers, closets, ensuite bathrooms, and mountain views.
• Amenities: Amenities include an outdoor pool, gazebo, fire pit, outdoor patio, fitness center, recreation room, computer lab, and chef-prepared meals.

Client reviews

Clients frequently describe a supportive, community-driven program with strong staff engagement and meaningful therapeutic work. Some reviews, however, raise concerns about boundaries, discharge planning, and consistency in oversight.

A few clients report gaps in individualized care or clinical follow-through. "I left with hope, tools, and a network of people who genuinely care."

A few reviews note issues with upkeep or food quality. "The facility itself is clean and welcoming, with spaces designed for both reflection and connection."
