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
Questions about psychiatric care
Do you have a psychiatrist on staff?
Psychiatric care at Red Rock is provided by a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, working alongside our medical director, a physician, and the rest of the medical team. Admissions can tell you who will see you and when your first appointment is likely to be. Meet our team.
Can I keep taking my current medications?
Bring every medication in its original pharmacy bottle. Our medical team reviews each one at admission and decides with you whether to continue, adjust or pause it, and explains why. Tell admissions about your medications on the first call so there are no surprises. See what to bring for your stay.
Do you treat ADHD medications or other controlled prescriptions?
Stimulants for ADHD and benzodiazepine prescriptions need extra care during addiction treatment, so our medical team reviews them individually rather than with a blanket rule. Tell admissions exactly what you take and your dose, and they will explain how it would be handled before you commit. You can start admissions by phone or online.
Is psychiatric care included in residential and outpatient?
Yes. Psychiatric care starts during your stay and continues as you step down from residential treatment to PHP and IOP, so your medications and follow-up move with you rather than restarting at each program. Your provider coordinates with your therapist at every step. See how our levels of care connect.
What if my main need is psychiatric, not substance use?
Red Rock is built for substance use, with co-occurring mental health conditions treated alongside it. If your main need is psychiatric rather than substance use, admissions will point you to a better-fit program, such as a mental health IOP. Read about how we treat dual diagnosis when both are present.
Is psychiatric care covered by insurance?
Psychiatric care is usually covered as part of your treatment program, though benefits vary by plan. Admissions checks your exact coverage before you come in, including program and medication costs, so you know what to expect. See the insurance we accept, or verify your plan with the form at the top of this page.
Do you treat trauma and PTSD alongside addiction?
Yes. Trauma and PTSD often come with substance use, and our psychiatric providers and therapists treat them together as part of one plan. Medication can help with sleep, anxiety and mood, while trauma-informed therapy works on the causes. Read about our trauma and PTSD treatment.
What happens to my psychiatric care after I finish?
Before you finish treatment, your provider makes sure your medications and follow-up are in place, including a psychiatric prescriber near home if you need one, so there is no gap between our care and the next. Your therapist builds this into your discharge plan. See our aftercare and alumni support.
