12-Step Program in Colorado

Our residential addiction treatment program at Spero Recovery Center uses the principles of AA’s 12 Steps to guide individuals through recovery. We’ve found that 12-step programming is an effective treatment for substance abuse and gives residents the framework and skills to maintain their sobriety long-term.

Spero’s Continuum of Care

Finding what addiction treatment option works best for an individual is essential. At Spero Recovery Center, we offer the Spero Model, where individuals can get everything they need to become the person they want to be.

Residential Treatment

Our Colorado addiction recovery services include men’s residential treatment, experiential therapy, and group meetings. The 12-Step Program is effective for treating substance abuse and helps our residents take action toward recovery every day.

Dual Diagnosis

Dual diagnosis treats co-occurring substance abuse and mental health disorders. Our holistic care creates a healing recovery experience in our beautiful Colorado setting.

Aftercare

Aftercare involves creating a plan for maintaining sobriety outside of our addiction treatment center. The addiction recovery process is challenging and we want to ensure every person who comes to us has the best chance of staying sober.

Sober Living

After completing addiction treatment, residents have the option to move into our Colorado sober living homes. Our sober living program helps individuals reintegrate into society while maintaining strong support from others in recovery.

Spero Community

At Spero, our sober community is so important to us. We offer alumni programming, host special events, and encourage our alumni to volunteer at our center and in the community.

Substance Abuse Treatment Services

Spero Recovery Center’s addiction treatment program is an immersion into AA’s 12 steps. Our inpatient program for men encourages residents to focus on their recovery by completing the 12 steps. Our goal is to provide the highest quality of care at an affordable rate. We’re passionate about creating a community and an environment that inspires change and truly supports individuals throughout their life-long recovery from drug or alcohol use. We offer addiction treatment services for these substance use disorders:

Alcohol

Navigating alcohol addiction can be a challenging journey, but at Spero Recovery Center, you’re not alone. We offer a range of resources, including specialized men’s alcohol rehab programs, to support those in need. Seeking help is the first and often the most courageous step on the path to recovery. Embracing the 12-step program can provide a structured and empowering framework for healing and lasting sobriety. Remember, there is hope, and reaching out for assistance is the beginning of a brighter future.

Prescription Drugs

There are many misconceptions about prescription drug abuse. In reality, misusing a prescription drug can have lasting negative impacts on a person’s mental and physical health. At Spero Recovery Center, we take prescription drug addiction seriously and immerse individuals into 12-step programming and experiential therapy to help them recover.

Heroin

Heroin is a highly addictive opioid drug that can have devastating effects on individuals and their communities. The 12-step program, a structured and empowering framework, can play a pivotal role in the journey toward healing and lasting sobriety.

Cocaine

Cocaine addiction can have a significant impact on individuals in Colorado, but help is available. This highly addictive substance can lead to profound personal and social challenges. For those seeking recovery from cocaine abuse, Spero Recovery Center offers specialized treatment programs that often incorporate the principles of the 12-step program. These structured steps provide a roadmap to sobriety, helping individuals rebuild their lives and find lasting healing and support.

Methamphetamine

Methamphetamine abuse is a prevalent issue that affects individuals in many regions, including Colorado. This highly addictive substance can have severe physical and mental health consequences. Seeking help for methamphetamine abuse is crucial, and we offer resources and specialized treatment programs to support recovery. With the right assistance and dedication, individuals can overcome the challenges of meth addiction and embark on a healthier and drug-free life.

Opioids

Opioids, both prescription and illicit, have contributed to a nationwide crisis. The 12 steps provide structure and support to those battling opioid addiction, guiding them toward healing and lasting sobriety. Seeking assistance for opioid addiction is a courageous step, and with the right resources, individuals in Colorado can find hope and renewed health on their journey to recovery.

Benzodiazepine

Benzodiazepine (benzo) abuse, often stemming from legitimate prescriptions for anxiety or sleep disorders, can quickly spiral into addiction. By taking that crucial first step to seek help, individuals embark on a journey that incorporates self-reflection, support from a community of peers, and the power of amending past wrongs, all contributing to a healthier, substance-free life.

Marijuana

Marijuana use, while gaining legal acceptance in many places, including Colorado, can lead to problematic patterns of consumption for some individuals. Despite its medicinal and recreational use, marijuana addiction is a real concern. For those seeking help in Colorado, specialized treatment programs offer guidance in addressing marijuana abuse. Incorporating the 12-step model, these programs provide a structured path toward recovery, helping individuals regain control over their lives and find lasting healing and support.

Testimonials

“Our son has been in treatment five times since the age of sixteen. Knowing he had mental health issues, all promised their dual diagnosis programs could help him. When his issues appeared these same programs said they were not equipped to handle them and our son was discharged. Imagine how it must feel to get the message you can’t be helped. Spero never made those claims and disclosed upfront they weren’t equipped to handle mental health issues, yet they went above and beyond to support Our son and get him outside professional help when needed. They recognized that sobriety wasn’t possible without addressing both issues. This is the first time our son has made it 30 days anywhere. It’s the first time he has hope. We express enough how much we appreciate Spero, especially Blake J.”

“After landing myself in the hospital for my years of drinking I was ready for a change. Originally from Colorado, but living in California with no Heath insurance I was open to any facility that would take me. After calling 20+ programs I was referred to Spero because of their affordability. My experience with Spero was life changing. I’m happy to say I’m coming up on my 8th month of sobriety after leaving the program. While I was there a built a bond with both staff and clients that I still maintain today. The program is 12 step based, and everyone is encouraged to have a sponsor by the time they leave. Staff such as Rorque, Tye, Jean, Blake, Paul, etc… are their because they care, and have experience in addiction and treatment. They go above and beyond to form a bond on a personal and spiritual level with everyone that walks through the doors. I don’t have a bad thing to say about my experience in the program. Spero saved my life, and I mean that with all of my heart.”

“After over a decade and a half of struggling with alcohol abuse & addiction I am both blessed & thankful to have landed at Spero. Their approach on recovery and sobriety is like no other, and in the best way. Thanks to their groups, meetings, fellowship, accountability, outdoor activities, mindfulness/meditation, compassion and understanding for us struggling… I now have the tools, support, and confidence to lead a happy, healthy, and sober life. I could not be anymore thankful for this program and highly suggest – beg you even – to check out and benefit from this magical, healing, and transformative place. If you know of someone battling with alcohol or drug use/abuse I encourage you to send them Spero’s way. Happy healing and may God bless you.”

– Alumni

“I have personally been too quite a few treatment centers and Spero, by far, is the best. From the top down the staff at Spero is compassionate, caring, and knowledgeable. The community at Spero is alive and well. I would personally recommend this place to anyone struggling with drug and or alcohol addiction.”

– Alumni

“Ive been to a few rehabs and worked in the feild for years. I recently graduated this treatment center after volentarily completing a second month. The Spero Recovery program has the highest quality product (real drug and alcohol abuse recovery) that I have ever seen by miles. The leadership of the program showed up at the hospital I was at immidiately after I was admitted which as far as I can tell hasnt happened anywhere else. The housing director (Blake) and his staff dragged me out of active meth addiction and convinced me to stop fighting myself and give sobriety another chance. It was the best decision i have ever made. My life is almost completly reassembled which was a direct result of the support I received from both the staff and the guys I went through with.
This is a truly special place with incredable people. I feel more confident in my sobriety and more supported than I ever have in my entire life. I’m writing this with a lot of love in my heart becuase this place definitly saved my life. I would recomend this place to anyone struggling with a drug or alcohol problem and I would say to come immidiately.”

– Alumni

“I currently work in public health for alcohol and drug campaigns. My partner and many of our friends have achieved long-term sobriety through Spero and I couldn’t be more grateful. It’s unlike any other recovery center I’ve ever seen or worked with, and I am confident that’s the reason it works for so many people.
If you or your loved one is struggling with substances or staying sober, I highly recommend giving Spero a call. This community has changed so many lives and I would recommend it to anyone seeking recovery from alcohol or other drugs.”
