Holistic recovery: mind, body and spirit alongside therapy
Recovery is more than therapy sessions and medication. At the foot of the Rocky Mountains, we use the outdoors, movement and routine to support the clinical work of CBT, DBT and group therapy. See how therapy works here. It's what makes us a holistic rehab: experiential outdoor therapy and adventure therapy outings sit alongside evidence-based clinical care, not in place of it.
Movement, daylight, sleep and regular meals help a body worn down by substance use find its rhythm again.
Quiet time outside gives an overloaded mind a break between therapy sessions, so the work has space to land.
A mountain view or a slow walk can bring perspective and a sense of belonging, central to 12-step recovery too.
A path built by people who walked it first
Alumni built the nature trail on our Morrison campus as a way of giving back. Today it's where clients walk between sessions, talk with a peer or sit quietly, on ground shaped by people who were once where they are. Read about aftercare and alumni.

Nature therapy: the outdoors as part of healing
Stress keeps the body in fight-or-flight. Natural settings gently engage the senses and help it shift toward rest. Research on Japanese "forest bathing" has linked time among trees with lower stress hormones, blood pressure and heart rate.

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 holistic care
Is Red Rock a holistic rehab?
We combine evidence-based therapy, like CBT, DBT and group work, with whole-person care: time outdoors, exercise, routine and connection. Holistic care supports treatment; it doesn't replace it. See how therapy works here.
Can I get outside during treatment?
Yes. Our Morrison campus has an alumni-built nature trail, gardens and space to walk, and time outside is part of most days in residential care. See our Morrison campus.
What outdoor activities are there?
Walks on the campus trail, gardening, yoga and meditation, plus a fitness center and basketball court, depending on the season and your health. Read about residential treatment.
Do you have a gym or yoga?
Yes. There's a fitness center, a basketball court and yoga. Evenings are for groups and meetings, and there are no TVs in rooms. Read what to expect.
Do I have to be fit to take part?
No. Activities are adapted to your health and comfort, and you can tell the medical team about any condition that limits you, especially during or right after detox. Read about medical detox.
Is this wilderness therapy?
No. Wilderness programs are usually for teenagers and happen in the backcountry. Red Rock is an adult treatment center with time outdoors built into each day. See who we help.

Most outdoor time is part of residential care in Morrison. Clients in PHP, IOP and our Ascent sober living homes are encouraged to keep time outside in their routine, and our alumni community stays active after treatment.

Outdoor and wellness activities are part of your level of care, not billed separately, so coverage follows that level. See the insurance we accept.
