What clients and families say
I spent 33 days at base camp And was able to detox And learn about my disease and the skills I need to keep moving forward. I am currently In my 2nd month at IOP in Lakewood I love the meetings and the community It has been so helpful and I would recommend it to anybody
I've struggled a few times through the last couple years. Red Rock has been consistent and caring with my recovery. I 100% recommend anyone struggling for the care and focus they provide. Plus the after-program care is top notch
If your loved one is facing addiction, this is the place to be. The entire staff is professional and caring. My son is now in a Red Rocks sober living facility and has been drug and alcohol free for almost three weeks. He is excited about being apart of this program and is embracing his sobriety.
Bre my case worker was amazing in finding me help after treatment . The whole staff was caring and understanding during a hard time . So thankful for all them ! !
This was my first time getting help for my addictions. I learned a lot from group sessions and really appreciated the schedule and staff. I’ve taken a lot of things I’ve learned from base camp with me after. I would 100% recommend Red Rocks to anyone struggling with addiction.
I decided that I couldn’t handle my addiction on my own and contacted Red Rock Recovery Center. They changed my life. From day one, I realized I was in a place where I was genuinely being cared for, by both the staff and the other people in my group. They offer peer support groups and endless sober meetups after you graduate. You’re never left alone. You’re provided with every resource imaginable and are supported for the rest of your life. I’m beyond thankful for RRRC, for their care and for their never ending support. You’re not alone out there. Promise. There is a community out there committed to your wellbeing.
Red Rock has a solid foundation w people who actually care about others at the core of it. I’m extremely grateful to the staff and community of this place and I will always talk highly about the program and most of the therapists. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely life changing. My kids will never have to live with a drunk mommy and I feel so in control of my own life decisions now that I’m sober. I’m so grateful that I get to live a sober life for and with my children
