Cedar Springs Hospital Overview
Located in Colorado Springs, Colorado and founded by Dr. Emory Brody, Cedar Springs Hospital is a behavioral health treatment center for individuals suffering from mental illnesses and substance abuse disorders. The facility was originally built as a private hospital more than 90 years ago and still retains some of its initial characters. The campus is in close proximity to Denver and resides at the foot of the beautiful Cheyenne Mountain in Colorado Springs. The facility offers a wide range of services to individuals of all ages—children, adolescents, and adults—battling substance, emotional, or behavioral disorders. Cedar Springs offers two rehabilitation programs that follow the residential treatment format: New Choices (for everyone) and The Recovery Zone (a 21 to 28-day special track residential program for the military). The Recovery Zone collaborates with the Patriot Support Program, a program created with the aim of providing behavioral health treatment for military personnel suffering from trauma, substance abuse or mental afflictions.
The facility provides individually tailored programs for each of its clients. Some of these include a partial hospitalization program for adults, acute inpatient psychiatric treatment, and psychiatric residential treatment for adolescents ages 12 and up struggling with anxiety and depression. The facility also offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults, detox, comprehensive psychological assessment, and dual diagnosis support. Experienced mental health professionals are constantly available at the hospital.
