Stout Street Foundation, located in Commerce City, CO, has been a cornerstone in Colorado’s recovery community for over 45 years. As a non-profit organization, it offers comprehensive, long-term residential treatment for adults aged 18 and older, aiming to provide a structured and supportive environment for overcoming substance use disorders.
The Foundation’s long-term treatment program spans approximately 2 to 3 years, beginning with a 30-day orientation phase where new residents acclimate to the program’s structure and expectations. Following this, residents enter Phase 1, lasting about 17 months, which combines a 40-hour workweek with intensive therapy, education, and individual counseling. This phase emphasizes addressing underlying issues contributing to addiction, developing life skills, and fostering personal accountability. A significant component of this phase is workforce development, where residents engage in on-site or off-site jobs through the Foundation’s network, enhancing vocational skills and paving the way for stable employment post-treatment.
Upon successful completion of Phase 1, residents transition to a 6-month aftercare phase. During this period, they reside in Foundation-owned sober living homes in Denver, granting increased independence while maintaining a supportive framework. This phase focuses on community reintegration, allowing residents to apply the skills acquired during treatment as they establish themselves in the broader community.
Notably, Stout Street Foundation operates without requiring upfront financial commitments from residents. All treatment fees, including room and board, are covered, ensuring that financial barriers do not impede access to recovery services. The Foundation’s approach integrates evidence-based therapies, peer support, and behavioral modification techniques within a therapeutic community setting, aiming to equip individuals with the tools necessary for sustained sobriety and personal growth.
