About

About Peaks Recovery Centers

Peaks Recovery Centers operates a full continuum of mental health and substance use treatment in Colorado Springs, Colorado, anchored at 6430 Brook Park Drive in El Paso County. Founded by Chris Burns and led clinically by Executive Clinical Director Marissa Prince, PhD, LPC, the program is dual-accredited by the Joint Commission and CARF — credentials that are typically only carried by larger hospital systems or established private rehabs.

The program is unusual in running two parallel clinical tracks. Substance Use Disorder care covers inpatient medical detox, residential rehab, PHP day programming, IOP, and virtual IOP. The Mental Health track, for clients with a primary psychiatric diagnosis and no addiction, mirrors that structure with inpatient stabilization, residential rehab, PHP, IOP, and virtual IOP. This dual-track design allows Peaks to admit clients with primary mental health diagnoses — depression, trauma, anxiety, bipolar — without forcing them into a substance use frame, while also serving dual-diagnosis patients through co-occurring disorders programming.

Peaks reports a 90% treatment completion rate, based on 477 clients between January 2024 and May 2025, with data collected by Vista Research Group. The figure is presented as a contrast to a roughly 42% industry standard. Beyond clinical programming, the model includes Family Services and Case Management, which extend treatment outward from the patient and reduce the risk of relapse during transitions home.

The staff team is led by Chris Burns (Founder & CEO), Marissa Prince, PhD, LPC (Executive Clinical Director), and Erin Greney, CRC (Admissions Director). Peaks accepts Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay, and works with families to verify in-network insurance options before admission. The Colorado Springs Front Range setting — with mountain views and access to outdoor recreation — supports the program’s emphasis on personalized, evidence-based care in a calm, supportive environment.

Medical Detox Programs and Withdrawal Management

Peaks Recovery Centers delivers comprehensive medical detox services for multiple substances including alcohol, opioids, heroin, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamine, and prescription medications. Their medically supervised detox program operates under 24/7 medical monitoring to ensure safe withdrawal management for complex cases.

The detox center utilizes FDA-approved medications and established withdrawal protocols to minimize discomfort and medical risks during detoxification. Patients transition directly from medical detox into residential treatment or intensive outpatient programs based on clinical assessment and continuing care needs.

Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders Treatment

As a specialized dual diagnosis facility, Peaks Recovery Centers simultaneously addresses substance withdrawal and mental health conditions during the detox process. Their medical team treats patients presenting with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and other co-occurring disorders alongside substance use disorders.

Executive Clinical Director Dr. Marissa Prince (PhD, LPC) leads the clinical team in providing integrated treatment for complex cases requiring both medical detox and psychiatric stabilization. This approach prevents the common cycle of relapse often seen when mental health symptoms remain untreated during early recovery.

Specialized Populations and Insurance Coverage

The detox center serves veterans through TRICARE coverage, pregnant women requiring specialized medical monitoring, young adults aged 18-25, and individuals with trauma histories or PTSD. Gender-specific treatment tracks address unique physiological and psychological aspects of withdrawal for men and women separately.

Insurance options include Medicare, private insurance plans, TRICARE for military families, and self-pay arrangements. Admissions Director Erin Greney (CRC) coordinates urgent placements and insurance verification to expedite access to medical detox services when immediate intervention is needed.

Accreditation and Quality Standards

Peaks Recovery Centers maintains both Joint Commission (JCAHO) and CARF accreditation, demonstrating adherence to the highest standards for medical detox and substance use treatment. These dual accreditations require ongoing compliance with strict protocols for medical care, safety procedures, and clinical outcomes.

The facility's quality standards ensure proper medical supervision during withdrawal, appropriate use of detox medications, and seamless care transitions between levels of treatment. Regular audits and certification renewals verify continued compliance with national healthcare standards for detoxification services.
