A Way Out

Call Website

As a result of our ongoing efforts, many who are motivated to change and who want help can find it.

We provide resources for clients: which includes addiction assessments, treatment solutions, peer recovery support, family support groups, therapy for family members, and financial aid to motivated alcoholics, addicts and their families. A Way Out is a non-profit organization based in the Western Slope of Colorado that provides counseling referrals, addiction assessments, solution oriented programs, and financial aid to motivated alcoholics, addicts and their families. A Way Out’s focus is to support residents of Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield county, who are unable to secure an appropriate level of care to overcome their addiction(s). We focus on providing the expertise and accountability necessary to empower men, women and teens in these counties with addictive behaviors to thrive in recovery. A Way Out was formed to help people who cannot seem to break the addiction cycle and who truly want to find a new way of life. The organization is comprised of caring individuals committed to helping people find a full life in sobriety.

Thank you for another incredible Serenity Scramble! ⛳

We are so grateful for everyone who joined us for our 18th Annual Serenity Scramble! It was a wonderful day of friendly competition, community, and giving back. We loved spending the day with so many individuals and organizations who share our commitment to making recovery more accessible throughout Western Colorado.

A heartfelt thank you to our golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and our host, Golf at River Valley Ranch , for making this year's tournament such a success. Because of your generosity, we achieved our fundraising goal of $50,000! All funds will go directly to providing individuals and families with the guidance, treatment scholarships, and long-term recovery support they need to build healthy, fulfilling lives in recovery.

A special thank you to our Technology Sponsor, Jaywalker Lodge, for all you do to make the event run smoothly every year, and to all of our incredible event sponsors for believing in our mission and supporting our work:

Nutrition, sleep, and physical activity are all powerful recovery tools. Research shows they can improve mood, strengthen emotional regulation, reduce stress, support brain and body healing, and enhance overall health and well-being.

Consistent healthy habits, like eating nourishing meals, getting 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, taking regular walks, attending a yoga class (join us for free yoga every Tuesday and Thursday at The Meeting Place Carbondale !), and spending time outdoors, all play an important role in supporting your mental, physical, and emotional health.

While meetings, peer support, therapy, and treatment are essential parts of recovery, caring for your body is just as important. Recovery is about building a healthy, sustainable life, and every positive choice you make supports your long-term well-being.
