Nestled in the Colorado wilderness, Spero Recovery Center provides residential treatment for men struggling with addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions. This nonprofit organization operates on the philosophy that recovery thrives when clients feel they belong to a supportive community. Their program integrates clinical guidance with a strong 12-Step approach, connecting each client with a sponsor during their 30-90 day residential stay. Spero offers affordable pricing, scholarship opportunities, and payment plans, though they don't accept insurance for inpatient services. The center's gender-specific programming addresses men's unique recovery needs, fostering honesty and mutual accountability. Under the guidance of licensed clinicians and counselors led by a clinical director with over 20 years of experience, residents work through the first nine steps of recovery while participating in group meetings and experiential therapies. Spero addresses co-occurring conditions including anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and personality disorders through group and wilderness therapy, with referrals to outside therapists when needed. Following residential treatment, men transition to individualized aftercare plans that include peer meetings, recovery workshops, and relapse prevention techniques. Their robust alumni program encourages ongoing community involvement and service to others in recovery. Located in Evergreen, Colorado, the facility offers extensive healing opportunities with access to 16 square miles of trails and parks, an on-site woodworking shop, and nearby Evergreen Lake for outdoor activities including hiking, rock climbing, skiing, and water sports. The program incorporates visits from specialists who teach meditation, yoga, and cooking, all while providing comfortable housing and meals in well-appointed homes.
