AspenRidge Recovery Enhances Mental Health Services in Colorado Springs with New Downtown Location

AspenRidge Recovery Enhances Mental Health Care in Colorado Springs

AspenRidge Recovery has announced the relocation of its Colorado Springs center to a new address at 620 N. Tejon St., Suite 101, marking a significant step in expanding access to mental health services in the region. Effective today, the center will not only continue to provide addiction treatment but will also introduce partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs designed to cater to the growing mental health needs of the community.

Located in El Paso County, this center is stepping into a crucial role as statistics reveal alarming mental health challenges faced by its residents. Recent data from the Colorado Health Access Survey indicates that over 30% of county residents experienced mental health issues in the past month, significantly higher than the statewide average of 25%. Furthermore, the 2025 State of Mental Health in America report ranked Colorado as last in the nation for mental health conditions, underscoring an urgent requirement for enhanced mental health resources.

Michael Damioli, chief clinical officer of AspenRidge Recovery, noted, "Colorado Springs has a real gap between the need for mental health care and access to it. This new downtown location is not merely a logistical change; it is a strategic move to ensure that more individuals can access our integrated mental health services."

Expanding Services to Meet Community Needs

The newly established location offers a range of tailored services including partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs, available in flexible formats of three to five sessions per week. These programs aim to address mental health conditions, addiction issues, co-occurring disorders, and complex trauma. Moreover, the center provides psychiatric services, medication-assisted treatment, and ongoing medication management, all designed to allow individuals to seek treatment without disrupting their daily responsibilities, work, or family commitments. The facility also accepts a majority of insurance plans, making treatment accessible to a broader population.

In addition to general community members, El Paso County hosts a substantial number of military families, with military households more than twice the state average. Recognizing this, AspenRidge Recovery ensures that its care team includes professionals with firsthand knowledge in treating active-duty personnel, veterans, and their families. "The experiences of service members often do not conform to standard treatment approaches. Therefore, our program is specifically designed to address their unique needs," explains Damioli.

Commitment to Integrated Care

AspenRidge Recovery collaborates closely with Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery (CMAR), collectively offering a comprehensive treatment spectrum that includes ambulatory detox, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient counseling alongside medication-assisted treatments. Their locations span across Colorado, including Lakewood, Thornton, Fort Collins, and Colorado Springs.

This integration of services not only positions AspenRidge Recovery as a leader in mental health and addiction treatment in Colorado but also emphasizes its commitment to serving the diverse needs of the community. By addressing mental health and addiction concurrently, the organization aims to create a holistic environment conducive to healing and recovery.
