About West Pines Behavioral Health – Wheat Ridge
West Pines Behavioral Health is an addiction treatment center in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. They’re part of the Intermountain Health network and they have various levels of treatment for adolescents and adults as well as seniors.
Most of their treatment here is outpatient addiction treatment. They have intensive outpatient programs where you go to the clinic several days a week for a few hours at a time for structured group therapy. Or they have traditional outpatient treatment too which is also mostly group therapy but with a less intensive schedule. Either way your treatment will be person centered and focused on fostering growth and change that will help you create a positive new life in recovery.
If you’re in the earlier stages of recovery or getting ready to start your recovery journey they have medical detox here too. It’s inpatient medical detox so you’ll have the 24 hour care of skilled medical staff who will make sure you’re safe and healthy while also easing your symptoms. Usually you’ll be there for three to five days but this can vary.
Whether you’re in an intensive outpatient program or a traditional outpatient program they have medication assisted treatment here too. They can use specialized medications for their MAT program, which reduce cravings for drugs or alcohol to help you transition your body into recovery and maintain your recovery.
What I find most interesting and helpful about this rehab is how involved they are in the community. If you’re in a crisis you can go to the local emergency room at Lutheran Medical Center and West Pines will do an intake evaluation from there.
