About Guardian Recovery - CuraWest
Guardian Recovery - CuraWest provides detox, short-term residential, residential, and outpatient addiction and mental health treatment services. They have nurses and other medical personnel on site 24/7 to closely monitor each client. CuraWest uses a customized blend of evidence-based and holistic treatments for a whole-person approach to recovery.
For clients seeking substance use treatment, they can use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease withdrawal and make the process more comfortable. After detox, which can be a standalone treatment, clients transition to residential care.
Client-Centered Treatment
Clients begin treatment with a thorough medical assessment, which takes into account their history with mental health, addiction, family history, and more. A psychiatric evaluation helps CuraWest diagnose co-occurring conditions, if present. CuraWest tailors each aspect of treatment to the findings of their assessments, clients’ preferences, and their needs.
Caring for Clients and Families
CuraWest uses trauma-informed therapy to address underlying trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They also involve family if desired, with family therapy sessions on site or virtually, and family psychoeducational workshops. CuraWest teaches relapse prevention skills to clients and their families too, helping all become educated on recovery, triggers, and healthy boundaries.
Recover in a Unique Environment
CuraWest’s location in downtown Denver connects clients to nature, too. Along with sweeping views, clients can go on group hikes and garden in nearby Botanical Gardens. Their holistic activities include Reiki, yoga, and guided meditation. Most of CuraWest’s rooms are private. Their modern property provides treatment in a welcoming and comfortable space, helping clients focus on their recovery.

Conditions We Treat
Anger
Although anger itself isn't a disorder, it can get out of hand. If this feeling interferes with your relationships and daily functioning, treatment can help.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a common mental health condition that can include excessive worry, panic attacks, physical tension, and increased blood pressure.
Codependency
Codependency is a pattern of emotional dependence and controlling behavior. It's most common among people with addicted loved ones.

Symptoms of depression may include fatigue, a sense of numbness, and loss of interest in activities. This condition can range from mild to severe.
Gambling
Excessive, repetitive gambling causes financial and interpersonal problems. This addiction can interfere with work, friendships, and familial relationships.
Gaming
Compulsive gaming is most often a problem for children and teens. The disorder can affect physical health, sleep, and the ability to focus at school.
Stress
Stress is a natural reaction to challenges, and it can even help you adapt. However, chronic stress can cause physical and mental health issues.
Trauma
Some traumatic events are so disturbing that they cause long-term mental health problems. Those ongoing issues can also be referred to as "trauma."
