About
Nestled in the serene Colorado wilderness, Spero Recovery Center provides a residential treatment program specifically designed for men grappling with addiction and concurrent mental health issues. The center emphasizes that clients achieve optimal recovery outcomes when they feel like integral parts of a supportive community. Alongside therapeutic and clinical support, Spero Recovery Center incorporates a robust 12-Step approach and pairs clients with sponsors during their treatment journey. Their residential programs last between 30 and 90 days, followed by a comprehensive aftercare plan and access to an active alumni network. As a nonprofit organization, they are committed to affordability, offering scholarships and payment plans; however, insurance is not accepted for the inpatient services.
Spero’s programs cater to the unique needs and experiences of men, promoting an environment where honesty and accountability are key tenets. Clients engage with the 12 Steps during their stay, completing up to Step 9 before continuing with Steps 10-12 alongside their sponsors and peers in 12-Step initiatives. Guided by licensed clinicians and addiction specialists, men are encouraged to reflect on past behaviors, mend relationships, and embark on a substance-free life. The center presents opportunities for clients to participate in group discussions, experiential activities, and community engagement. The clinical team is overseen by a director with over 20 years of expertise in the field.
Spero Recovery Center also assists clients in addressing co-occurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and personality disorders. Their wilderness therapy and group sessions aim to alleviate and navigate the symptoms associated with these mental health challenges. Although therapists are not on-site, if a client requires therapy, Spero ensures access to outside professionals.
Upon completing their residential treatment, clients transition into aftercare and become part of the thriving Spero Recovery Center alumni program. Tailored aftercare plans support individuals as they re-enter daily life in early recovery, promoting ongoing motivation through mindfulness practices and self-care routines. Clients have the opportunity to participate in peer meetings, attend workshops covering various recovery topics, and learn strategies for preventing relapse. Alumni are encouraged to remain engaged within the Spero Recovery community, with lifelong access to recovery tools. The alumni program highlights the importance of service, as individuals who assist others in recovery often experience greater long-term success.
Located in Evergreen, Colorado, Spero Recovery Center provides an ideal environment for healing. The facility boasts 16 square miles of picturesque trails and parks, two trailheads, and a woodworking shop on-site. Clients can take advantage of a range of outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing, skiing, snowshoeing, nature walks, canoeing, kayaking, and fishing at nearby Evergreen Lake. The center invites guest speakers and specialists to conduct classes in meditation, yoga, and cooking. Accommodations at Spero include room and board, with all meals covered as part of the program.
