Here’s why we go the extra mile.
The idea of going through withdrawal can be scary, really scary. It’s a huge step, and a tough decision, to get help for substance use. What’s it going to be like? Am I going to get really sick?
Will people treat me like an addict, or a criminal?
These are all questions that clients have before coming to our Withdrawal Management Facilities in Pitkin and Summit Counties. But our staff understands that the detox process is scary. We know how tough it is to walk through our door and commit to change. That’s why it’s so important to us to show up 100% for each person who needs our help. We show up with respect and compassion, so our clients feel safe, supported and empowered to get their lives back.
It’s about going to bat for our clients, and getting people empowered to succeed.
The withdrawal process, safe transitions and recovery life look totally different for each person. Each client we care for needs help to find the path that’s right for them. And sometimes finding the right path means breaking down some serious barriers. Or going above and beyond to help a client get started on their journey. Our Withdrawal Management Team knows what it means to go above and beyond. They’re not afraid to go to bat for clients and make good things happen.
Our team goes above and beyond to make good things happen.
We couldn’t be more proud of our Withdrawal Management Team and their commitment to helping clients navigate tough stuff. They bring compassion and a positive, problem-solving attitude to the table every day. They show up big time for people who are ready for change, and help make it happen. It’s not easy work by any means, but luckily, the Withdrawal Management Team seems to be a team of superheroes.
We’re giving a big shout-out to the whole Withdrawal Management Team: You’re all rockstars!
Over the past month, this team has dug into big challenges and gone the extra mile for our clients on numerous occasions. They’ve helped people find the courage to get sober. They’ve gotten homeless clients access to emergency housing. They’ve made countless phone calls to connect clients to therapists and outpatient programs in their local communities. They’ve helped people secure financial assistance to attend residential treatment programs, and have arranged cross-country travel plans that get clients to their programs safely. They even coordinated with local police to help a homeless client return to Denver after she had been trafficked to Aspen and left alone on the streets.
Every client’s story matters.
No matter what the client’s story is, our “Detox” team knows that their job is much more than doing assessments and taking vitals. It’s about showing our clients that their story matters. It’s about showing our clients that we believe in them and their future. We’re working hard every day to show our clients that their community stands with them on their journey, no matter how tough it seems.
Please share your recovery story and help us inspire others!
It’s about showing people we believe in them.
