Mile High Recovery Center

About

Mile High Recovery Center, founded in 2016 in Denver, Colorado, has grown from a single sober house into a comprehensive addiction treatment center distinguished by its explicit integration of depth psychotherapy within residential and outpatient substance use programming. The center specializes in treating substance use disorder — with particular expertise in opioid addiction — alongside co-occurring trauma and mental health conditions, approaching addiction through a lens that seeks to uncover and address the underlying emotional and psychological drivers of compulsive substance use rather than treating behavior in isolation from its psychic roots. The depth psychotherapy component emphasizes how past experiences, unconscious relational patterns, and unprocessed emotional material shape present-day functioning, fostering greater self-awareness and personal growth as foundations for sustainable recovery. This depth orientation is integrated within a clinical framework that includes cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, EMDR, and experiential modalities. The residential treatment program provides twenty-four-hour structured care with therapeutic activities throughout the day, supported by a team of clinicians, doctors, nurses, psychiatrists, and behavioral health technicians, many of whom bring lived experience of recovery to their clinical work. The center offers a full continuum of care including detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient programming, and an extended year-long treatment program for individuals requiring sustained therapeutic support.

Depth Orientation

Mile High Recovery Center is one of the few addiction treatment centers in the United States that explicitly identifies depth psychotherapy as a named modality within its clinical program. The center's depth approach emphasizes uncovering the underlying emotional and psychological drivers of addiction through exploration of how past experiences — including unconscious patterns, relational wounds, and unmetabolized affects — influence current substance use and mental health functioning. This orientation positions addiction not as a discrete behavioral problem but as a symptom of deeper psychic disturbance, reflecting the tradition from Jung through Hillman that views symptomatology as the soul's communication about unresolved developmental and archetypal tasks.
