Why we exist
When the founders of Paramount started this program in 2018, the gap they saw in Colorado's addiction treatment landscape was specific: there were excellent luxury programs for people with money, and there were undersupported county programs for people without. There wasn't enough in the middle — affordable, evidence-based, modern, dignified care for working families, Medicaid members, and the people in between.
We exist to fill that gap. Most of our clients use Medicaid or commercial insurance to cover most or all of the cost. We've built our facility, our clinical team, and our alumni community to deliver the same quality of care as a luxury program — without the luxury price tag, and without the luxury attitude.
What makes us different
Most rehab programs end at discharge. The marketing usually mentions "aftercare," but in practice, most clients have one or two follow-up calls and then disappear from the system. We built Paramount around the opposite assumption: the work begins at admission, but most of it happens after.
Our alumni program runs for life. The same clinical team that admits you is the same team you call back on day 300, day 800, or if there's a relapse. The aftercare plan is drafted on day one. Family programming is built in. The cost of staying connected to us forever is $0.
The people doing the work
Our clinical team is composed of master's-level therapists, licensed addiction counselors, board-certified addiction psychiatry, and case managers who live in this community. We are intentionally a single-location program — we believe quality of care comes from a coherent team that knows each other, not from scaling to dozens of locations.
We're also intentionally local. Most of our clinicians grew up in or around Colorado. Most of our alumni stay in the metro. The recovery community we offer isn't a national franchise — it's a specific group of people who get sober together and stay in each other's lives.
What we don't do
We don't pretend everyone who walks through our door has the same story or needs the same care. We don't withhold medication-assisted treatment for ideological reasons. We don't lecture clients about choices they made before they got here. We don't refer clients to "luxury sober living" facilities we get kickbacks from. We don't bill for services we didn't deliver. And we don't disappear after discharge.
