At Gateways to Transformation, we provide diverse programs to help individuals at different stages of their healing journey and personal development.
Our programs take place at our beautiful farm retreat center in Western Colorado, providing a unique opportunity for therapy and healing with activities like animal care, gardening, art, meditation and permaculture. Whether you are moving from a treatment center, need ongoing support, or are making a big life change, we have options for you.
Our programs differ in intensity and structure to meet the needs of individuals at different points in their healing journey:
- Outpatient & Intensive Outpatient Programs (OP & IOP): OP offers therapy a few times weekly for those needing ongoing support while living at home and maintaining daily routines. IOP provides more frequent therapy sessions and structure for those who need more support.
- Transitional Living Programs: These programs provide on-site housing combined with therapy. Participants live in comfortable and safe accommodations while engaging in structured therapy, wellness, and life-skills activities.
- Residential Farm Therapy Program: Hands-on gardening, farm work, and animal care are paired with daily therapy sessions and customized activities tailored to your unique needs.

Common Features Across All Programs
