Many programs are open to residents outside this area, including our substance abuse treatment programs – Aquarius Center and the dual-diagnosis Substance Abuse & Mental Illness program – as well as Turning Points, our insurance-only counseling and psychiatric practice.
Recovery Story of the Week
Each week in April, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network will feature a recover success story in the hopes to provide inspiration and hope to other who struggle with mental illness. Recovery IS possible even when there are challenges, obstacles and barriers to overcome. For most people with a severe mental illness, recovery is an ongoing process. Since the illness is not likely to get totally resolved, there will be ongoing management of the condition. Recovery is the process of reclaiming one’s life from mental illness. As with other difficult events in life, over time, people learn to adjust to their challenges.
April Is Substance Abuse Awareness Month
Substance Abuse Awareness Month was created to increase public awareness and the understanding that alcoholism is a chronic brain disease that is treatable. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, Arapahoe/Douglas Mental Health Network can help. We serve both adults and adolescents struggling with addiction issues – including drugs, alcohol, medications and substances – with comprehensive services that lead to recovery.

February: North Range Behavioral Health
North Range Behavioral Health is the community mental health center and substance abuse provider agency serving Weld County, Colorado. They are a private, non-profit corporation dedicated to providing professional, culturally competent mental health and substance abuse services to Weld County residents.
North Range Behavioral Health has been providing services in Weld County since the Mental Hygiene Clinic was established in Greeley in 1929. The clinic became part of the Weld County Health Department in 1938 and was incorporated as a private non-profit entity in 1971 under the name of Weld Mental Health Center. The center’s name changed to North Range Behavioral Health in 1997 to better reflect the changes in behavioral health treatment and the philosophical approaches to client care. In 2008, NRBH merged with Island Grove Regional Treatment Center and began to offer a wide range of integrated services for individuals with mental illness, substance abuse disorders, or both. As times have changed, so has North Range Behavioral Health. They are proud of their work and their long record of outstanding service to the people of Weld County.
The staff at NRBH is exceptional! They have a highly qualified staff of psychiatrists, psychologists, professional counselors, clinical social workers, case managers, administrators, and support staff.
