SummitStone Health Partners

SummitStone's outpatient program serves individuals seeking addiction treatment while maintaining their work, school, or family responsibilities. The program incorporates group therapy sessions that foster peer support connections, helping participants build a strong recovery community foundation. Treatment scheduling accommodates various needs with extended hours Monday through Thursday until 7 PM, recognizing that flexible timing often determines treatment accessibility.

The center's peer support services component connects individuals with others who share similar recovery experiences, creating natural mentorship opportunities within the broader recovery community. This approach helps participants develop lasting relationships that extend beyond formal treatment completion, supporting long-term sobriety maintenance through ongoing peer connections and shared accountability.

SummitStone addresses substance abuse treatment within the context of overall mental health wellness, treating co-occurring conditions like depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related disorders alongside addiction. This integrated approach recognizes that sustainable recovery often requires addressing underlying mental health challenges that may contribute to substance use patterns.

The treatment team, led by Medical Directors Dr. Tom Mitchell and Dr. Bethany Engblom, coordinates medication management services through the on-site pharmacy, ensuring seamless care for individuals requiring both psychiatric medications and addiction treatment support. Director of Outpatient Services Andrea Strayer (LCSW, LAC) oversees the clinical programming that combines traditional therapy approaches with peer support integration.

The recovery center provides targeted addiction treatment services for teens and women throughout Larimer County, addressing the unique challenges these populations face in recovery. Teen services recognize the distinct developmental needs of young people struggling with substance use, while women's programming acknowledges gender-specific factors that influence addiction and recovery processes.

Bilingual services in English and Spanish ensure that language barriers don't prevent access to quality addiction treatment for Northern Colorado's diverse population. This commitment to cultural accessibility reflects SummitStone's role as a community-centered recovery resource that serves individuals from various backgrounds and circumstances seeking outpatient program support.

SummitStone's 24/7 crisis support services provide ongoing safety net resources for individuals in various stages of recovery, from initial treatment engagement through long-term aftercare. This round-the-clock availability ensures that participants can access immediate support during challenging moments, reducing the likelihood of relapse and supporting sustained recovery community participation.

The center's telehealth capabilities extend access to ongoing addiction treatment and aftercare services, particularly valuable for individuals in rural areas of Northern Colorado or those with transportation challenges. This technology integration allows for continued therapeutic engagement and peer support connections even when in-person attendance isn't possible, maintaining treatment continuity throughout the recovery process.
