Peaks Recovery Centers

What Peaks Recovery Centers does

Peaks Recovery Centers is a private, Joint Commission-accredited behavioral health treatment facility headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, operating a gender-separate, extended-care campus at 1755 Old Ranch Rd (with a separate administrative office on Brook Park Dr). Founded in 2013, the company provides a full continuum of care for adults (18+) that includes Inpatient Medical Detox, Residential Rehab (up to 30 days based on medical necessity), a PHP Day Program (2-4 weeks), and an IOP Program delivered both in-person and virtually (3 weeks to 3 months). Three primary clinical populations are served: substance use disorder patients (alcohol, opioids, heroin, cocaine, meth, Xanax, marijuana, prescription drugs), primary mental health patients (depression, trauma, anxiety, bipolar), and co-occurring disorder patients requiring integrated dual treatment. The underlying clinical platform is built on a Bio-Psycho-Social Model of Care within an Integrated Environment approach, augmented by a certified Conscious Recovery curriculum (in partnership with TJ Woodward), 24/7 medical support, EMDR and other evidence-based therapy modalities, family services, and clinical case management. Support functions include an educational blog, the Finding Peaks bi-weekly podcast/show distributed on YouTube, Facebook, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts (160+ episodes), and an alumni community.

The revenue model is reimbursement-driven through in-network contracts with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, TRICARE/TriWest, and Cigna, supplemented by private-pay options. Medicaid and Medicare are explicitly not accepted, which materially shapes the addressable patient pool. Go-to-market is sales-led and admissions-driven: a dedicated admissions line (855-222-1610) plus insurance verification, professional referrals from healthcare providers, and an extensive organic content engine focused on SEO, podcasting, and education. Headcount sits between 11-50 (firmographics), leadership comprises founder/CEO Chris Burns, Executive Clinical Director Marissa Prince (PhD, LPC), Chief Clinical Officer Jason Friesema (LPC, LAC, EMDR-trained), COO Clinton Nicholson (LBC, LAC), and Admissions Director Erin Greney (CRC). Outcome performance is independently measured by Vista Research Group: 90% of clients completed all recommended treatment across the 1/1/24-5/16/25 window (n=477) compared to a 42% industry benchmark, with 94% of clients reporting they were satisfied or very satisfied with treatment (7/1/2024-11/5/2024 survey window, n=138). The organization is privately held, founder-controlled, and bootstrapped with no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investor involvement.
