Subject: Invite: Avenues Recovery Center – Open House, Jan. 21

Greetings, 


Please see Open House invite below for the county commissioners. Could you let me know if they are available to attend? Thank you! 


You are invited to attend the Avenues Recovery Center – Fort Collins Open House and Ribbon Cutting. The team looks forward to welcoming you and sharing how this new, state-of-the-art facility will expand access to behavioral health care in Northern Colorado.

 

Northern Colorado continues to face significant gaps in behavioral health services, with limited detox capacity, long waitlists, and fewer inpatient options forcing many residents to seek care far from home. The opening of Avenues Recovery Center – Fort Collins helps address this critical need.

 

Avenues Recovery Center Open House & Ribbon Cutting
Wednesday, January 21, 2026
11:00 a.m., Ceremony begins at 11:15
4880 Ziegler Road, Fort Collins, CO 80528

 

This 160-bed campus is Avenues’ 18th location nationwide and second in Colorado, offering a full continuum of care including detox, residential, and outpatient services for substance use and co-occurring mental health needs.

 

We would be honored to welcome you to tour the facility, meet our team, and learn more about how this expansion supports public health, public safety, and community stability in Northern Colorado.

Hi Commissioner, 

Given your background, we are wondering if you would be willing to say a few words at the open house - we would provide the brief talking points. I realize this is a last minute ask (and on MLK day) so no pressure to say yes. Either way - thank you for your RSVP!
