The Spero Model
A multitude of addiction treatment options exist; finding what 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.
Spero Recovery Center is a residential recovery program for men. Our goal is to set our clients up for long-term recovery, even after leaving our program.
Accessibility to Care
Spero Recovery Center offers affordable addiction treatment for men in Colorado. Our mission is to provide accessible, high-quality care to all. We created our program to give hope to an underserved community that may be uninsured or unable to pay for treatment. We believe that access to quality care is a human right and have created an option for individuals with limited financial means.
A Community Vibe
Spero Recovery Center’s program encourages peer support, and we teach our clients to recover in real-time amongst others in recovery. Our program upholds the belief that individuals get the best results in recovery when they are honest with other people. When our clients feel like they are contributing members of a community that is doing something together—instead of being told to do something on their own—they feel a sense of ownership.
Groups regularly get together in the living rooms of our on-site homes. We want our clients to feel as if they are hanging out with friends and getting comfortable with each other. Our goal is to create a community vibe that doesn’t just feel like a clinical group. A community vibe enables our clients to feel comfortable and develop interpersonal skills. We want to create a safe environment where our clients can become the people they have always wanted to be.
At Spero Recovery Center, our clients are introduced to a new way of life by individuals who have been through similar experiences. They offer immense hope while they walk through the process as a unit. We share our strengths and struggles with each other. We also encourage our alumni to come back and volunteer at the facility. We welcome strong role models back to be of service and it benefits everyone involved.
Community Activities
Spero Recovery Center believes life in recovery should be full of adventure, which is why we offer experiential therapy. Our beautiful location in Colorado’s foothills allows for various activities that enable clients to interact with others and learn life skills they can carry with them after programming is complete. We are located within 16 square miles of open space in the mountain that allows for hiking, rock climbing, and mountain biking. We have two destination summits and are located near a lake.
Spero Recovery Center also offers a full woodworking shop where clients can learn everyday skills and gain a sense of purpose. When we create something on our own, with the help of others, we can gain an understanding of accomplishment we may have never experienced before.
We also invite specialists onto the premises, including meditation teachers and chefs. Meditation allows our clients to relax and open their minds. We also invite chefs on site that help clients with educational cooking. Clients can learn to cook for themselves, with support from staff. Teaching life skills in real time allows for community building through activities like learning how to cook and use the kitchen.
Clinically-Informed Programming
Although Spero Recovery Center differs from traditional treatment programs, we provide clinically-informed programming. Our clinical director has over two decades of experience with many treatment modalities. With clinical oversight, we give individuals the opportunity to evaluate past behaviors, repair relationships, and embark on a new life journey free from substances.
At Spero Recovery, we combine evidence-based and holistic therapies to support our clinical treatment program. With licensed therapists and weekly sessions, we create customized treatment plans for our clients to best support their recovery. If our clients choose to enter sober living after a residential stay is complete, their clinical needs will also be assessed and we help place them with one of our partners.
