VISION:
To eliminate substance use and mental health disorders to create healthy lifestyles
CTP was founded in 1979 by a group of concerned citizens in Pueblo, with the broad aim to provide a comprehensive continuum of care for individuals and families affected by substance abuse. Over more than three decades, CTP has increased its staff and services, and is now the largest and leading provider of behavioral health programs and services in Southern and Southeastern Colorado. CTP also is one of the founders of Signal Behavioral Health Network, the managed services organization (MSO) that serves as an intermediary between the Colorado Division of Behavioral Health (DBH) and treatment providers. Signal manages about 75 percent of Colorado's public treatment dollars including allocations for Northeastern and Southern Colorado, as well as the Metro-Denver area.

She has done so well in the Sober Living Unit, that she has been reunified with her daughter, who is now allowing the client to babysit the granddaughter once each week.
