According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 21.6% of the Colorado Springs population has been diagnosed with depression, compared with 19.3% found statewide. Additionally, according to the Colorado Health Access Survey, 12% of El Paso County residents reported eight or more days of poor mental health over a month in 2017, compared to 11.8% found statewide. Three-quarters of American adults with a diagnosed mental health disorder (there’s over a million in Colorado alone) say their symptoms first appeared in adolescence, but it takes people nearly a decade, on average, to access needed treatment.
These numbers are critical to assessing the needs of AspenRidge clients. Inaccessibility to adequate mental health care can mean catastrophic, life-changing dependency on various substances. Substance use problems occur more frequently with certain mental health problems, including:
Colorado has a higher rate of substance abuse than the national average with just over 17 individuals (per 100,000) severely abusing prescriptions, alcohol, and drugs.
At our treatment centers, changing lives begins with mental health. We, at AspenRidge Recovery, offer mental health therapy programs in Colorado Springs that help bring to light the presence of an addiction that is directly influenced by mental illnesses. With our dual diagnosis treatment, we can offer assistance for both issues simultaneously as our therapists are licensed in both treatments.

No matter which substance you are struggling with, we can develop a custom approach to your treatment. Our staff recognizes that your addiction is unique to you, which requires a personalized plan that addresses your specific circumstances.
Making the decision to seek treatment is a big step in itself. Discovering or locating a treatment facility that meets your needs is also a crucial step. However, many Coloradans believe that access to quality treatment comes at a great expense. With the staff at AspenRidge Recovery, we can help verify through your insurance which can dramatically reduce the cost of adequate treatment. Contact us today directly to verify your insurance and to get started with one of our licensed and skilled therapists.
