Focus

This center treats substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Your treatment plan addresses each condition at once with personalized, compassionate care for comprehensive healing.

Jaywalker is a dual-diagnosis drug and alcohol rehab specifically for men with substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. While a typical stay elsewhere is 30 days, that is often not enough time to build a foundation for recovery and especially not for chronic relapse treatment. In contrast, Jaywalker’s continuum-of-care treatment plan begins when a client enters 90-day inpatient treatment and carries through to aftercare and beyond. Clients generally “step down” to less intensive treatment in Jaywalker’s partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient programs, as well as transitional living and a family program. The men at Jaywalker are an active group, using the Roaring Fork Valley as their playground to extend their therapeutic experience beyond the confines of clinical settings. Jaywalker is a community of recovering people—staff, volunteers, and clients—all firmly rooted in the 12 Steps. Specializing in chronic relapse, they believe men who return to rehab treatment do so for many reasons, chief among them the failure to grasp and fully personalize Step One of the 12 Steps. Clients at Jaywalker will examine the impact of drugs and alcohol in all aspects of their lives, revealing the underlying truth about each individual’s struggles with addiction and recovery. Jaywalker combines an evidence-based approach with holistic methods to heal mind, body, and spirit. They use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). They incorporate world-class outdoor activities, wilderness expeditions, and service opportunities to connect to others and find reassurance that life has meaning and purpose. Jaywalker understands that chronic relapse is often closely associated with co-occurring conditions. They assess dual diagnoses from all possible angles to get deeper insight into what needs the most immediate attention and determine the best course of action. Their multidisciplinary addiction treatment team includes a board-certified medical director, Master’s-level clinicians, addiction specialists, and mental health and trauma experts, ensuring they can effectively treat complex clients with various mental health, psychiatric, and trauma disorders. Jaywalker’s transitional living program bridges the gap between intensive treatment and independent living. Their offerings include 90-day intensive outpatient and outpatient programs, a sober living home with 24/7 staff support, and independent living residences across the street from their primary care facility. Jaywalker also has a strong alumni community and offers numerous ways to stay involved, including networking opportunities, three weekly meetings, events, expeditions, and volunteer opportunities. Clients spend as much time outside Jaywalker’s walls as inside. They engage in “meditation in motion” through activities including fishing, golfing, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and cross country skiing. Inpatient clients stay in an upscale lodge with comfortable, modern interiors and shared rooms. One of the most cherished aspects of the Jaywalker experience, beloved by clients and alumni, is the tradition of nightly family-style dinners, expertly prepared by their talented chef. Jaywalker encourages communication with family and friends who are supportive of the recovery process, but only through the provided landline phones and client computer.
