CCO offers peer-based recovery support services (P-BRSS) in Southwest Colorado to anyone looking for a pathway out of substance/alcohol misuses and behavioral health conditions toward wellness.
  • Choosing recovery is not an easy decision. 
  • We often need someone there to listen.
  • We need someone who is committed to our successful recovery.
  • We need to have choices toward recovery, because there are many pathways to choose from!
​Peer recovery coaches are trained professionals that motivate, encourage, are empathetic, non-judgmental, kind & patient. We help you help yourself. It’s a partnership in which YOU commit to recovery.
You choose a pathway — we provide the resources and we share our lived experiences in wellness.

Our lived-experience is just a story . . . maybe similar to yours—a reference point to understand that you are not alone in your struggle.

The Substance Abuse Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) definition of recovery:
Recovery is a process of change through which people improve their health and wellness, live self-directed lives, and strive to reach their full potential.
​There are four major dimensions that support recovery:
  • Health—overcoming or managing one’s disease(s) or symptoms and making informed, healthy choices that support physical and emotional well-being.
  • Home—having a stable and safe place to live.
  • Purpose—conducting meaningful daily activities and having the independence, income, and resources to participate in society.
  • Community—having relationships and social networks that provide support, friendship, love, and hope.​​​​
