I love SSF!!! It saves lives. I know this because it saved mine. When nothing else was working Stout Street taught me and showed me there is hope in life. You only get out of it what you put in. I'll forever be eternally grateful. Thank you.
This program I'm sure is a great program because they do have a large number of graduates. The program Deffinately is not for everyone. House games you need to see to believe. But there is plenty of support there for those who stay. One will need an open mind for sure, and have both feet in.
May 23rd, 2018 after multiple arrests and a few long miserable years of destroying myself I was given an ultimatum by larimer county drug court. Go to stout street or go to the community corrections for 2-6 years.
Community corrections would have been way easier and less challenging, but I had literally just lost one of my closest family members to an overdose and my family was torn in pieces at the time.
I didn't want help, but my family didn't want me to die and I didn't want to hurt my family anymore. I knew if I didn't stop I was going to die, so after weeks of sitting in jail I finally decided I was going to go.
It was really hard in the beginning, I was very unfamiliar to everything. I felt like I didn't relate to anyone and that I wasn't in the right place. I wanted to leave several times during the first month but thankfully I didn't. It became much easier after I built friendships with some people and started to see the benefit within in the classes and therapy.
I started to talk to counselors more often and really pay attention to class at around 6 months in, it ended up working out really well for me and I ended up meeting a lot of awesome people and having tons of fun. It's really hard at times but you do have a lot of fun there.
Anyways I completed last June and Im doing better now than I ever have in my life, renting a house with a couple friends from the program and working full time, saving money. I still do therapy with a counselor, the work is a lifetime thing but I've grown so much and learned so much more in the last 2 years than I have in my entire life.
I'll forever be grateful I made the choice to come here
Outstanding program! Been around for 45 years and have helped tons of people change their lives!
Comprehensive trauma-informed care. Mostly evidence based curriculum. Staff is SUPER knowledgeable about treating Substance Use Disorder. Executive staff is top-notch and always improving the program. Very plugged into the community and have resources for any toe of treatment plan!
I completed Stout Street Foundation in 2004. It helped change my life and give me the tools and skills needed to be successful in life. It's not easy to look at your own issues, but if you can push thru it's definitely worth the life that's waiting for you!
To each is there own..

Hey shout out to Stout st. from jon Styrczula. i have done it. Good program, not easy. u have to commet urself and hang in there and do it. thx u Tom, Christ and Pam.
I spent 2 years at Stout Street. It was the best decision I have ever made in my entire life. I have been rebuilt and reborn. Stout Street is hard, it is raw, it is real and it is beautiful. You must be ready to completely surrender. The disease of addiction is cunning baffling and powerful, you must be ready to completely surrender and accept a miracle.
Forever grateful of this place. I hate it a lot sometimes, but that's why I'm grateful. It has allowed me an opportunity to get my life back on track.
Serenity at stout street was a wonderful experience for me I was there for 30 day's and at the end I didn't want to leave the staff really made me feel at home and welcome they were kind when i needed it and gave me the advice I needed when I had hard day's they always encouraged me to take some time and talk to some one. Out of all the treatments I have been to this is by far the best one the help i got there was amazing it really opened me up to alot of things about my addiction and myself it was a blessing to be apart of something so special and would advise anyone struggling life with addiction to go to serenity.
