GLANCE
of abstinence from substances three
months after enrollment increased by 18.4
percent.
In the midst of unparalleled economic
challenges, Arapahoe House continues to be
Colorado’s leading nonprofit provider of
affordable drug and alcohol treatment. As we
review the 2008-2009 fiscal year, we extend
great thanks to our community partners,
donors, boards of directors, and employees.
You are an integral part of our mission to
provide life-changing treatment to people from
all walks of life from single mothers and their
dependent children to adolescents, adults,
families and the homeless. Together, we have
served 14,000 Coloradoans and provided
more than 20,000 episodes of care this year.
•
As we review the past year, we reflect on not
only the number of people served, but the
quality of care for each individual client and
the innovation that lies ahead:
•
Ron Rose, President
Arapahoe House Board
•
Rodger Hara, President
Arapahoe House Foundation Board
Online services are the new frontier of
substance use illness treatment. More than
two years ago, Arapahoe House built the
E-TREAT program as a means to provide
services and enhance motivation among
people waiting for traditional treatment.
E-TREAT consists of an array of electronic
options for clients including a website,
bulletin boards, and texting, all enhanced
by support from a recovery coach. By the
end of the 2009 fiscal year, 289 clients had
enrolled. The percent of clients who
abstained from substances more than
doubled between program intake and
three months post intake from 26 percent
to 63 percent.
•
Research demonstrates what we
intuitively know to be true: regular
physical activity is an important part of
long term recovery for people with
substance abuse disorders. Still, much
remains unknown about the role of
exercise in recovery including its
biochemical effects, the appropriate
dosage and type of exercise.To further
contribute to this developing body of
knowledge, Arapahoe House was selected
to participate in a National Institute of
Drug Abuse Clinical Trial Network
protocol which will examine the effect of
exercise among adults in treatment. As a
community treatment provider in the
Clinical Trials Network, Arapahoe House
will have the opportunity to be part of this
national research.
Denver EFFECT (Entire Family-Focused
Effective Comprehensive Treatment), a
collaboration serving child-welfare
involved families affected by substance use
disorders, was honored with a site visit
from the White House “Drug Czar”, Gil
Kerlikowske, director of the Office of
National Drug Control Policy.
Arapahoe House is a partner in Denver
EFFECT, providing substance abuse
treatment, family therapy, and child care to
families involved in the program. In the
two years since the project began serving
families, outcomes include significant
reductions in clients reporting use of
substances as well as reductions in the
amount of clients reporting family, social,
or emotional problems. The program has
also enabled many children to either
remain in the home while family members
receive substance abuse treatment, or be
reunified with their families while involved
in the program.
Arapahoe House’s Assertive Continuing
Care for Adolescents (ACCA) program
entered its third year of funding from the
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration in October 2008.The ACCA
program provides continuing care services
to youth with co-occurring substance
abuse and mental health disorders and
their families. Preliminary data about the
program show promising results: the rate

•
In line with our mission, we are embarking
on a new frontier of integrated care.
Integrated care across all of healthcare is
quickly becoming the best solution to our
ailing healthcare system. Arapahoe House
will be part of this exciting new way of
providing a continuum of care to the
people we serve.
These programs and services are only a few
examples of the vital work being done at
Arapahoe House. In 2009, Arapahoe House
has seen an increase in the number of clients, a
decrease in fees paid and increase in fee
waivers. More people are asking for assistance
to pay for treatment that could determine
whether they embark on a healthy, productive
life or one of destruction and despair.
Research shows that every $1 spent on drug
and alcohol treatment saves taxpayers $7.
Thanks to a variety of public and private
funding sources, we are able to continue our
mission by providing a continuum of accessible,
affordable, and effective services for individuals
and families with alcohol, drug or other
behavioral health problems.
With the continued support of the community
and the dedication and commitment of our
staff, Arapahoe House will continue to provide
help, hope and healing for thousands of
Colorado individuals and families in the years
to come.
Thank you for your continuing support,

“Some people say I never had a fair shot at life. My mom was
the one who got me using drugs when I was a teenager. I’ve been
through it all: homelessness, addiction, losing my kids. I had to
reinvent my life and Arapahoe House was an important part of that.
Not only did they empower me to maintain sobriety, but they inspired
me to become an addictions counselor. Today, I have a
new life. I have my kids back and I’m going to
school so that I can give back to others
suffering from addiction.”
“I see a huge difference in myself as an individual, as a mom
and a wife since my treatment at Arapahoe House. I’ve come a
long way through my addiction and the tailspin that used to be
my life when I was drinking. Being in recovery means I get to
read to my 3 year old son, see him smile and play. I get to be a
great mom to my 3 month old, it’s so rewarding. When I was
drinking, I couldn’t be 100% there for my kids and my husband; I
couldn’t be a part of my own family. Drinking alienated me from
the ones I love the most. It’s the little things that used to trigger
me into drinking. But, I don’t give up and turn to alcohol anymore;
Arapahoe House gave me the tools to stay sober.”

“In tough times, we need Arapahoe House more than
ever. We’re all working with less resources and this
organization provides a direct benefit to the police
department. In the last year, we’ve seen a 5
percent increase in DUI citations. The bottom line
is that my cops can drop off people in need of
Arapahoe House’s services and quickly return to
patrolling. They help free up our time and
enable us to provide better service to the
public. We also know that when we send
people to an Arapahoe House location,
they receive the best care possible from
a professional substance
abuse counselor.”

“I got involved with Arapahoe House because I believe
in the cause. Alcoholism doesn’t discriminate, it
doesn’t care who you are. I’ve witnessed chemical
dependency in my family; it’s an awful disease.
The last thing someone should worry about when
they need treatment is cost. If someone can’t
afford treatment, Arapahoe House can help.
Treatment saves lives. I give to Arapahoe
House to save lives.”

“Reducing recidivism in Colorado is
critical when we look at our skyrocketing
prison costs.We know Arapahoe House’s
male and female offender program,
STIRRT, assists with the reduction of long
term incarceration costs. It’s a win-win
vote for the state.”

people lose track of the benefit of a program

what’s needed to help people get a
second chance at life. We appreciate
Arapahoe House stepping up and figuring out
how to effectively serve the most Coloradoans
with drug and alcohol problems. Especially now,
amidst the state budget crisis, this organization fills a
critical need in our state. They are proof that treatment
is more powerful and effective than punishment.”

For more than 30 years,Arapahoe House has
been a champion for families and individuals
with alcohol, drug and other behavioral health
issues. We have reached out to people in our
community, our friends, neighbors, siblings,
parents and children, and made sure they
received the help they needed. With 14
locations and more than 20 specialized
services,Arapahoe House is Colorado's leading
provider of prevention, detoxification and
treatment services for alcohol and drug abuse.
The programs of Arapahoe House are designed
to meet the unique treatment needs of every
person we serve to help give them a greater
chance of recovery.
Mission Statement:
The mission of Arapahoe House is to provide a
continuum of accessible, affordable, and effective
services for individuals and families with alcohol,
drug and other behavioral health problems.
Vision Statement:
For Arapahoe House to become the number
one choice for alcohol and substance abuse
treatment services known for research and
innovative programs that are delivered in a
comprehensive, integrated system of care that
includes mental health and primary care.
Did You Know?*
Get Involved:
• Nationwide, $27 per U.S. resident is spent on
publicly funded substance abuse treatment
compared to $7.50 spent per resident in
Colorado.
• Contact your elected officials and tell them
treatment works: ask them to increase
funding support for treatment.
• The consequences of alcohol misuse and
illicit drugs are the single greatest drain on
state budgets.
• Donate to Arapahoe House.Visit our
website at www.arapahoehouse.org or call
303-657-3700.
• Teens who abuse prescription drugs are
twice as likely to use alcohol and 5 times as
likely to use marijuana.
• 60-80 percent of youth in the juvenile justice
system have substance abuse issues.
• Addiction begins with casual use. Many still
view addiction as a poor moral choice in
which an individual voluntarily engages,
rather than a chronic, relapsing disease of the
brain, similar to diabetes or high blood
pressure, which requires extended care.
• Insurance coverage is non-existent or limited
for substance abuse prevention and
treatment.
• Colorado ranks 19 percent higher than the
national average in per capita consumption of
beverage alcohol. Only 4 other states (Alaska,
Delaware, Nevada and Wisconsin) rank
higher in per capita consumption than
Colorado.
