Stout Street Foundation: A Path to Lasting Recovery
For nearly five decades, the Stout Street Foundation has been a cornerstone in Colorado’s recovery community, offering comprehensive residential programs designed to help individuals overcome substance abuse and reclaim fulfilling, responsible lives. Located at 7251 East 49th Avenue in Commerce City, this foundation operates on the belief that every person possesses the intrinsic capacity for profound change and growth. They emphasize a unique, long-term support model that prioritizes building relationships, teaching essential life skills, and fostering deep, sustainable healing within a structured therapeutic community environment.
Treatment Programs Tailored for Success
Stout Street Foundation provides both short-term and long-term treatment options to meet diverse recovery needs.
Long-Term Residential Program
The long-term residential program is specifically structured as a therapeutic community, often spanning 2-3 years from intake to successful graduation. This comprehensive approach is ideal for individuals who have struggled with addiction over extended periods. The care is licensed at an ASAM 3.5 level (Intensive Residential Treatment) with a stepdown to a 3.1 level. Crucially, residents face no out-of-pocket financial commitments for treatment fees, room, or board. Through this program, residents commit to their sobriety and actively engage in developing personal accountability, self-care, and vocational skills essential for community reintegration.
Short-Term Treatment: Serenity
The Serenity program is a 28-day inpatient residential treatment option. It offers a safe and healing environment for those dealing with substance abuse alongside co-occurring mental health disorders. The foundation of this short-term service relies on evidence-based group, individual, and family therapy provided by licensed clinical staff, ensuring a holistic healing experience.
Workforce Development and Community Reintegration
A distinctive and vital element of the Stout Street Foundation model is its intensive focus on workforce development. Unemployment is recognized as a major impediment to lasting sobriety and stability. Residents, particularly those in the long-term program, work in the Foundation’s workforce development program for at least 40 hours each week. These on-site or off-site jobs, facilitated through the Foundation’s network of partners, help residents acquire valuable skills and build a robust employment history, leading directly to gainful employment upon completion of the program. The final phase, Aftercare, further focuses on community reintegration, allowing residents increased freedoms as they apply their newly developed skills and establish themselves independently.
