Substance Use Disorder Treatment in Grand Junction, Colorado
Trauma-Informed Addiction Recovery. Real Recovery, Built for Real Life. Without Shame, Without Judgment, Without Gimmicks.
If you’re searching for Addiction Treatment in Grand Junction, CO, there’s a good chance this isn’t your first attempt to stop using.
Maybe this isn’t your first time trying to quit.
Maybe you’ve hidden your use, you’re high-functioning, but exhausted.
Maybe everyone around you is worried, but you don’t know what to say.
Or maybe you’re reading this with shaky hands, wondering if you even belong here.
You do.
At Ava Health, we provide substance use disorder treatment that goes far beyond detox or symptom control. We help people heal from addiction physically, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. We don’t shame, force, or “fix” you. We support, guide, and walk beside you, at your pace, on your terms.
Substance Use Isn’t the Problem.
It’s the Strategy.
At Ava Health, we approach Addiction Treatment in Grand Junction, CO through a trauma-informed lens that understands why people use, not just that they do.
Substance use is often the best tool someone has found to survive what they were never taught to navigate:
- Anxiety
- Trauma
- Loneliness
- Emotional overload
- Identity loss
We don’t ask “Why the drugs?”
We ask: “What have you been carrying and how can we help you carry it differently?”
What We Treat
Whether your life is unraveling, or you’re just quietly losing control, you don’t have to wait for it to get worse.
If you’re looking for addiction treatment in Grand Junction, CO, Ava Health provides comprehensive, trauma-informed care for adults navigating substance use, mental health challenges, or both.
Our program is designed to meet you where you are without pressure, labels, or judgment and guide you toward stability, clarity, and lasting change.
Because addiction doesn’t exist in a vacuum, we treat more than substances alone. We address the emotional, psychological, and life-level factors that drive use, relapse, and burnout, helping you build a recovery that actually fits your real life.
We support adults (18+) facing:
- Alcohol use and binge drinking
- Opioid addiction (fentanyl, heroin, oxy, painkillers)
- Stimulant use (meth, cocaine, Adderall)
- Benzodiazepines and sedatives
- Cannabis use and dependency
- Polysubstance use, or multiple substance use
- Relapse after detox, incarceration, or rehab
- Substance-induced psychosis, dissociation, or emotional dysregulation
If Any of This Sounds Familiar, You’re Not Alone:
- “I wake up promising I won’t use and by night, I do.”
- “I’ve lied to people I love. Not because I wanted to because I didn’t know how else to cope.”
- “I’ve relapsed after getting help and now I feel worse.”
- “I don’t even know who I am without the substance.”
- “I’m still going to work, still functioning but I’m not okay.”
We’ve heard it all. We don’t flinch.
What matters is you’re here now. That means something.
Addiction Treatment in Grand Junction, CO — What Makes Ava Health Different
Most programs ask you to “get clean” and then figure out your life. We help you define what recovery means to you and then help you rebuild your life so it actually makes sense.
At Ava Health, our approach to substance use disorder treatment goes beyond symptom management or short-term stabilization. We treat addiction and mental health together, with one integrated team, one coordinated plan, and a belief that recovery has to work in the real world, not just inside a program.
We don’t force people into rigid models or one-size-fits-all timelines. Instead, we offer adaptable, trauma-informed care that meets you where you are and evolves as your needs change.
- Full Continuum of Care: Detox, residential, PHP, IOP, outpatient, MAT, sober living
- Integrated Mental Health & Trauma Treatment: Because addiction is never just about the substance
- No-Wrong-Door Model: Wherever you start, we have a path forward
- Peer Support, Social Work, Family Involvement: You’re not doing this alone
- Transparent, Adaptable, Compassionate Care: We don’t just care for you, we care with you
This is what sets Ava Health apart from traditional behavioral health programs in Western Colorado. We don’t measure success by compliance or discharge dates. We measure it by whether your life feels more stable, more connected, and more livable when you step back into it.
Client Story:
The Third Time That Finally Worked
“The first two times I tried to get help, it was all structure and no soul. Ava Health was different.”
“They didn’t make me detox in isolation. They asked about my anxiety. My kids. My shame. I didn’t feel punished. I felt seen.”
“Now I’ve been clean 8 months, I’m working again, and I can finally sit still without hating what’s in my head.”
How We Define Success
We don’t measure your worth by your sobriety date. Your definition of recovery is what’s important.
For us, success isn’t about compliance or perfection. It’s about whether your life feels more stable, more manageable, and more your own both during care and after it.
We measure your healing by how stable, empowered, and connected you feel:
- Regulated nervous system
- Reduced cravings and relapse triggers
- Functional daily life (housing, work, relationships)
- Reconnection with self, without shame
- Long-term progress tracked via Ava Always
For Families & Loved Ones
It’s gutting to watch someone you love disappear into addiction.
We won’t sugarcoat it. And we won’t leave you out of the process either.
If you’re searching for addiction treatment on behalf of someone you care about, you’re likely carrying fear, exhaustion, and unanswered questions.
At Ava Health, we understand that addiction doesn’t just affect one person, it impacts entire families. That’s why our approach to substance use disorder treatment in Grand Junction, Colorado includes support for you, not just your loved one.
At Ava Health, we:
- Offer family therapy and support groups
- Communicate clearly, without secrecy or shame
- Help you understand relapse, trauma, and long-term recovery
- Support your healing too, not just theirs
You don’t have to navigate this alone. We believe families deserve honesty, inclusion, and compassion at every stage of care because recovery is stronger when no one is left in the dark.
