Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about our addiction treatment programs, detox services, therapy, and aftercare support in Colorado Springs.

Frequently asked questions about addiction treatment and aftercare

Spring Grove Recovery provides care for a wide range of substance use disorders, including:

  • Alcohol use disorder
  • Opioid addiction (heroin, fentanyl, prescription painkillers)
  • Stimulant use (cocaine, methamphetamine)
  • Benzodiazepine dependence (Xanax, Ativan, Valium)
  • Polysubstance use

Our programs also support those with co-occurring mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder.

In many cases, yes. Medical detox, also known as withdrawal management, is recommended when your body has developed a physical dependency on substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzos. It allows for safe withdrawal under 24/7 medical supervision using evidence-based protocols and detox medications.

We’ll determine whether you need detox during your initial assessment and build a treatment plan that fits your needs.

The length of stay at Spring Grove Recovery depends on individual clinical needs, insurance coverage, and treatment goals. On average, clients remain in residential care for approximately 21-30 days, while medical detox typically lasts 10-14 days. This timeline may vary based on progress, medical needs, and recommendations from our clinical team.

Yes, we offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) as part of our comprehensive care model. This includes medications such as:

  • Suboxone
  • Subutex
  • Vivitrol

MAT is used to reduce cravings and ease withdrawal symptoms—particularly for those recovering from opioid or alcohol use disorders. MAT is always combined with therapy and clinical care to promote long-term healing.

We do not use methadone in our clinics.

Spring Grove Recovery accepts Medicaid and most commercial insurance plans. Our admissions team can verify your insurance quickly and explain your benefits, coverage, and any out-of-pocket costs before you begin care.

Recovery doesn’t stop at discharge. That’s why we offer a structured aftercare support program, which may include:

  • Relapse prevention planning
  • Individual or group counseling referrals
  • Referrals to community-based support groups and therapists

Our goal is to help you build a long-term recovery plan that supports life beyond treatment.
