Griffith Centers to offer substance abuse help to Adams County

A non-profit organization based in Denver is extending its behavioral health services to Adams County with a new substance use disorder center.

Griffith Centers — an organization that began in Colorado in 1927 — recently opened its new substance abuse disorder (SUD) headquarters at 10190 Bannock St. in Northglenn, according to a news release.

The new location will offer Individualized treatment plans, comprehensive assessments to identify co-occurring mental health disorders and other underlying issues, therapy and family counseling, the organization said.

The organization has been offering SUD treatment in Colorado Springs over the last year and branched its services out to the Denver metro in “response to the increasing demand for effective addiction treatment and support,” according to the release.

“Substance abuse is a pervasive issue affecting communities across the country, and Griffith Centers is dedicated to providing accessible and effective solutions to combat this epidemic,” Tania Sossi, CEO of Griffith Centers, said in the release. “Because of the successes we have seen with the program available in Colorado Springs, we felt it was time to offer the same services and experience to families in Adams County at our Northglenn office.”

Along with the new SUD services, Griffith Centers has offered other services to the areas for nearly 100 years like foster care, outpatient behavioral health services and student engagement programs.

The organization was started by a Denver-area teacher, Emily Griffith, in 1927 to provide children with an education and the opportunity to become self-supporting. Since, it has grown to provided various forms of support to children and adults.

Griffith Centers’ SUD Services are available to individuals of all ages, from adolescents to adults, and are designed to meet the diverse needs of the community. Whether someone is seeking support for themselves or a loved one, Griffith Centers is committed to providing compassionate care and guidance every step of the way, according to the release.
