DUI/DWAI Education, Therapy, and a Broad Range of Outpatient Programs
BAEC’s largest population has always been drinking and driving clients, and the center offers Level II DUI, DUID, and DWAI Education and Therapy, Interlock Enhancement Counseling, Offender Education and Treatment for non-DUI cases, and Relapse Prevention programming. Beyond DUI, the center offers a Marijuana Treatment Program, a Minor in Possession and underage substance abuse group program, a university students evaluation and intervention program, a Family Support Program for substance users, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and individual counseling. Evaluations are available for court, custody, professional licensing, and employment purposes, and expert consultation and testimony services are also offered. Initial phone consultations are free.
A Philosophy Built on Education, Responsibility, and Dignity
BAEC was co-founded on the belief that people given accurate, well-directed information about their substance use will want to change, a philosophy that is now standard across the treatment field. The center’s approach holds that each person must take responsibility for their behaviors, understand the dynamics behind them, and commit to a plan for change. Over more than four decades BAEC has treated thousands of clients and is recognized by the State of Colorado and professional colleagues as one of the more effective programs of its kind.
