About Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services LLC
Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services LLC has provided outpatient addiction treatment and intensive outpatient programs in Fort Collins since 1981. This established recovery center specializes in alcohol use disorder treatment with sliding scale payment options for ongoing community recovery support.
Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services LLC operates as a dedicated outpatient clinic in Fort Collins, serving the Larimer County recovery community since 1981. Located in the Stuart Professional Park on South College Avenue, this recovery center focuses specifically on alcohol use disorder treatment through structured outpatient programs designed for ongoing recovery support.
The facility provides two primary levels of care tailored to different stages of the recovery journey: standard outpatient programs and intensive outpatient (IOP) services. These addiction treatment options allow individuals to maintain work and family commitments while participating in regular recovery programming. The center's weekday schedule from 9 AM to 6 PM accommodates working adults seeking flexible treatment options in their recovery process.
Serving diverse populations within the recovery community, the center welcomes both men and women, including those with trauma/PTSD backgrounds, court-ordered participants, and individuals managing co-occurring disorders. This dual diagnosis capability ensures comprehensive care for complex recovery situations that require specialized attention beyond basic substance abuse treatment.
Accessibility remains central to their community mission through multiple payment options including Medicaid, self-pay arrangements, and a sliding scale discount program based on federal poverty levels and family size. Operating continuously for over four decades, Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services has established deep roots in the Fort Collins recovery community, offering stable aftercare options for individuals committed to long-term sobriety and ongoing recovery support.
Outpatient Programs and IOP Services
Alcohol Counseling and Guidance Services provides two distinct levels of outpatient care designed to meet varying needs within the recovery community. Their standard outpatient program offers flexibility for individuals balancing treatment with work and family responsibilities, while their intensive outpatient (IOP) services provide more structured support for those requiring additional recovery programming.
Both programs operate during weekday business hours from 9 AM to 6 PM, allowing working adults to participate in ongoing addiction treatment without completely disrupting their daily routines. This scheduling approach supports the center's philosophy that sustainable recovery often requires maintaining stability in employment and family life while receiving professional treatment services.
Specialized Populations and Dual Diagnosis Care
The recovery center serves a diverse range of individuals including men and women with varying backgrounds and treatment needs. Specialized services are available for trauma and PTSD survivors, recognizing the complex relationship between traumatic experiences and alcohol use disorders in many recovery journeys.
Court-ordered participants receive comprehensive services that satisfy legal requirements while focusing on genuine recovery outcomes. The facility's co-occurring disorders capability ensures that individuals with both mental health conditions and substance abuse issues receive integrated care addressing all aspects of their recovery needs.
Payment Options and Community Accessibility
Financial accessibility remains a cornerstone of the center's community mission through multiple payment arrangements including Medicaid acceptance, self-pay options, and a comprehensive sliding scale discount program. The sliding scale system bases fees on federal poverty levels, family size, and individual income, ensuring that financial barriers don't prevent access to needed addiction treatment.
This commitment to affordability reflects the center's four-decade history of serving the Fort Collins recovery community, recognizing that long-term recovery often requires ongoing support that must remain financially sustainable for individuals and families committed to sobriety.
