One way researchers look at the statistics around alcohol use disorders and the toll that this addiction takes on sufferers is to calculate years of potential life that has been lost. This way of seeing alcohol-related death is intended to make an impact – and it does. The approximately 88,000 annual deaths related to alcohol addiction represent a loss of 2.5 million years’ worth of potential life. The tragedy of addiction does not have to play out this way. Help is available. One of the best ways to begin recovery from an alcohol use disorder is to enroll in a residential addiction treatment program.

Programs and Services at Mile High Recovery Center

If you can commit to residential addiction treatment, you will benefit from the following:

  • Medically managed detox – Withdrawal from alcohol can be challenging and risky to attempt independently. In an inpatient alcohol rehab, you will receive medical attention throughout the process. Physicians will prescribe medications that mitigate cravings and some of the most uncomfortable side effects. Round-the-clock supervision will ensure that any underlying medical or psychological disorders that emerge are dealt with promptly and appropriately.
  • Evidence-based therapies – In residential alcohol treatment, you can focus all your time and energy on your recovery. A schedule of therapies and sober activities will help you. At Mile High Recovery Center, you will have access to the following and more:
    • Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
    • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
    • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
    • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR)
    • Motivational enhancement therapy (MET)
    • Relapse prevention
    • Dual diagnosis treatment
    • Group therapy
    • Family therapy
    • Equine therapy
    • Addiction and mental health psychiatry
  • Peer support – Participation in a 12-step program while in residence will provide you with peer support and accountability while familiarizing you with a process that will be available after discharge for as long as you need it. Many people recovering from alcohol addiction remain engaged in a 12-step program throughout life. Having the support of peers who understand what you are experiencing is proven to increase positive recovery outcomes.
  • Step-down programs – Upon completion of inpatient alcohol rehab, you can continue your recovery journey in an outpatient program for as long as you need it or access our aftercare program, which provides ongoing support post-discharge.
