How Summit View can help you overcome addiction
Summit View Treatment Services is a facility that provides on-site behavioral health treatment services for disorders involving addiction and is available to every adult Mesa County resident regardless of ability to pay. The goal of treatment is to promote sustainable change and growth that enables recovery from addiction and empowers clients with strategies to cope with other challenges on their path to recovery.
Treatment options are tailored to meet each individual client’s needs and consider challenges in addition to substance abuse, including involvement in the Criminal Justice system, mental illness, and other non-medical factors. Any resident facing these challenges can seek help from Summit View and may be eligible to receive outpatient or residential treatment services that provide individualized, comprehensive, and holistic strategies to address substance abuse and other accompanying challenges.
In response to a statewide methamphetamine crisis from 2005 to 2007, Mesa County opened Summit View in 2007 to provide needed substance abuse treatment services to residents. In late May 2024, Summit View was relocated to a newly renovated facility to increase operational capacity by 80%.
Summit View’s Outpatient treatment options serve a wide variety of people in diverse circumstances depending on their specific situations and needs. Treatment is typically offered in the form of regularly scheduled sessions of group and/or individual education and therapy.
Summit View’s Outpatient treatment services can be categorized into three general groups: addiction services, mental and behavioral health services, and specialty services.
Addiction Services
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): Designed to establish prosocial support and facilitate sustained recovery through healthy coping strategies for those in the earlier stages of change.
- Enhanced Outpatient Program (EOP): A more intensive option than traditional outpatient services for clients who are largely in the action stage of change.
- Relapse Prevention: Looks to identify and address historical emotional, physical, and environmental factors that have precipitated relapse for the client.
- Family Education and Therapy: Helps aid family members to improve communication and resolve conflicts with attention paid to unhealthy dynamics that require change within the family unit.

Residential Treatment Services
Summit View offers residential treatment services to Mesa County residents who struggle with severe substance use disorder(s) and other accompanying challenges that require a higher level of care. These programs provide a safe and stable living environment and 24-hour services, with the intention of helping clients develop and demonstrate the skills necessary for them to safely continue their recovery journey in a lower level of care.
Residential treatment services include Intensive Residential Treatment (IRT), Residential Dual Diagnosis Treatment (RDDT), and Transitional Living services.
Intensive Residential Treatment (IRT)
IRT is a program for adult males who suffer from severe substance use disorder(s) that is designed to improve the client’s ability to complete daily tasks, develop sustainable skills for recovery, and establish prosocial relationships and behaviors. This treatment option provides a structured approach to addressing substance abuse, trauma, and criminogenic risk reduction that is tailored to meet individual needs, offering around-the-clock supervision with a variety of counseling, education, and therapy services.
Residential Dual Diagnosis Treatment (RDDT)
RDDT is a program for adults who suffer from severe substance use disorder(s) along with chronic mental illness(es) as well as a history of felony criminal conduct. The goal of RDDT is to improve clients’ emotional stability, promote remission of substance use disorders, help develop emotional regulation skills, and develop prosocial relationships and behaviors. This treatment option provides a structured approach to addressing substance abuse, trauma, and criminogenic risk reduction that is tailored to meet individual needs, offering around-the-clock supervision with a variety of counseling, education, and therapy services.
Transitional Living
Transitional living is typically offered to people who have completed the IRT or RDDT programs. It is a cost-controlled, affordable, safe, and recovery-compatible housing solution designed to help prepare people transitioning from a higher level of care back into independent living in the community.
