If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health has programs to help.  We serve both adults and adolescents struggling with substance addictionsn -- alchohol, drugs and other substances -- with comprehensive services that lead to recovery.

A leader in dual-diagnosis treatment
Since 1987, the Aquarius Center at Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network has also been effectively treating individuals challenged by both mental illness and addiction on an outpatient basis.

In fact, we were the first outpatient program in Colorado to integrate treatment for both chemical dependency and mental health issues. Our program delivers where others fall short because we focus on treating both the consumer’s underlying mental illness and substance abuse problem at the same time. This builds a foundation for a more successful recovery. Our programs are "evidenced-based" which means that they have been proven to work.

Take the path to recovery.
The goal of our program is to help consumers completely abstain from drugs and alcohol; gain self-confidence; develop new skills; and take control of their symptoms to avoid future involvement in substance abuse as they travel the path to recovery.
