This unit is accepting patients effective Thursday, March 26, 2020.
This unit is a part of Peak View's goal to ensure that our Colorado residents' behavioral health needs are met during this unprecedented pandemic. We have implemented all necessary precautions developed by the Center for Disease Control to ensure the health and safety of both our staff and patients. This unit will be staffed with specialized dedicated team members. The unit will accept adults and medically-stable older adults and will include medication management, therapy, vitals monitoring, additional medical oversight, and virtual family meetings.

In addition to our standard intensive treatment, patients will receive infection control education and special instructions for self-quarantine upon discharge.
