Red Mountain Colorado is a residential treatment center for teens ages 14-17 struggling with substance abuse, addiction, and trauma. 

When a teen struggles from substance abuse and at least one other mental health concern we call this dual diagnosis disorder or having co-occurring conditions. We treat all of the presenting mental health symptoms with an integrated approach to create a path to psychosocial wellness.

Our holistic approach is based on mindfulness programming, which sets us apart from other recovery programs for teens. Red Mountain Colorado offers access to excellent clinical services, as well as a daily meditation program taught by a Zen Sensei and a Tibetan Meditation Instructor.  We also incorporate adventure therapy, group therapy, hiking, martial arts, yoga, physical fitness, and academic support to help young boys thrive in multiple areas of their lives.

Like other recovery programs for teens, we offer 12-step programming; however, it is not the foundation of our program. We individualize our group and individual therapy so that those who connect with and need the 12 Steps have a high level of engagement with them, while those who do not qualify for the issues the 12 Steps address have the opportunity to engage in other healing modalities more suited to them. Other models we implement include Rational Recovery, SMART Recovery, Refuge Recovery, and our own, highly specialized mindfulness-based approach to treatment.

Rather than focusing on substance use as a problem behavior, we look at other factors in teens’ lives that have contributed to their substance abuse. Our students are gently guided by our highly seasoned staff away from destructive patterns and choices toward productive, healthy patterns and choices. 

Our nurturing environment provides a variety of experiential opportunities for teens to build confidence, develop relationships, give back to the community, and set personal goals based on their passions and strengths. Our goal is to help students experience personal growth in areas related to their mind, body, and spirit.

Tom Williams
Director of Outreach - Red Mountain Sedona & Red Mountain Colorado

Tom started his career in the mental health field in 2015 as an admissions advisor for one of the leading Wilderness therapy programs, located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. While there, Tom worked in many different roles and ultimately became Director of Admissions and Utilization Review. On the next step of his journey, he transitioned over to outreach and worked for Red Oak Recovery, a trauma informed program serving adolescents and young adults.

Tom’s passion for connecting with people has compelled him to help others on their personal recovery journeys. He feels that everyone should work to understand themselves, and discover where their individual happiness lies.

“There’s nothing more special than helping someone find peace and happiness in their life. I couldn’t be more excited to connect families and professionals to Red Mountain Programs, where through sophisticated and thoughtful clinical work, young people can finally begin to heal.”

Stacey Reynolds
Director of Admissions and Administration - Red Mountain Sedona

Stacey has worked in therapeutic programs for many years and brings an extensive administrative background in Admissions, Finance and Operations to her work at Red Mountain. She has a passion for helping match families and programs, and her experience as an administrator in treatment centers, combined with her personal experience as a caring wife and mother, help her with both the “head” and the “heart” – the logistics and the feelings side – of determining if our program is a good fit for students and vice versa.

In addition to her talents behind the scenes, Stacey loves coordinating tours, working with Red Mountain families, and sharing with our students not only about the importance of healthy living, but also the joy and success that is found through the healing process of treatment. Her greatest love is spending time with her two children and husband.

Elizabeth taught for many years in a public high school setting, and decided to pursue teaching in a private setting when she realized there was not enough focus on students’ overall mental health in most schools. She is well-versed on working with students with various learning differences and mental health needs, and is delighted to be able to apply this experience at Red Mountain.

Matt Hart
Director of Family Support and Programming - Red Mountain Sedona & Red Mountain Colorado

Matthew brings more than 20 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults and their families. He has served as CEO, Headmaster, Academic Director, Program Director, Teacher, Advisor, and Residential Staff member in both therapeutic and academic settings. In the classroom and in residential treatment programs, Matthew worked with a wide range of students with therapeutic needs and learning differences.

Prior to joining Red Mountain, Matthew was part of a well-known and respected educational consulting practice in the New England area. While he thoroughly enjoyed this work, he decided to leave the practice to work more closely within a program to support parents in their journey alongside their children.

Throughout his career he has been instrumental in the development of educational practices and methodologies that are student-centered and support both the therapeutic and academic growth of individual students. He accomplished this by serving the public school system on school boards at both the local and regional levels and in higher education as an Associate Director of Admissions for a small New England college.

Matthew resides in Vermont with his wife and visits Red Mountain frequently. He has three children of his own and personally understands the deep love parents have, as well as the tightrope parents walk to help support their children as they learn to launch themselves into their own life.
