A Flexible, Respectful Treatment Approach
Donna Sue Hudgins MA, MS, LPC in Montrose offers addiction care that meets people where they are. Recognizing that Alcoholics Anonymous and the Twelve Steps have helped many but that spiritual phrasing can feel off‑putting, Donna provides compassionate, individualized treatment that blends clinical counseling and both AA and non‑AA recovery options. Care is intentionally respectful of personal beliefs and focused on practical strategies you can use every day for sustainable recovery. Whether you want the traditional support of online or in-person meetings, a secular pathway, or a tailored mix, your values shape the plan.
Recovery Options Beyond the Twelve Steps
Respectful alternatives for many paths to sobriety
For clients who find spiritual language uncomfortable, Donna Sue offers secular and evidence‑based alternatives. These options include cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention planning, and connections to community resources that do not require spiritual framing. The goal is clear: build a recovery pathway you can commit to without compromising your beliefs.
Individualized Treatment Plans
Practical treatment shaped by your story
As a licensed counselor, Donna Sue combines clinical training with a collaborative approach. Sessions focus on identifying triggers, developing coping skills, and creating achievable daily routines that support long‑term sobriety. Therapy is flexible—short‑term focused work, ongoing psychotherapy, or a stepped plan that evolves as progress is made.
Conjoint Counseling
Repairing relationships while supporting recovery
Addiction affects the whole family. Donna Sue provides education and conjoint counseling that helps partners and loved ones understand the recovery process, set healthy boundaries, and rebuild trust. Sessions use communication tools and problem‑solving practices designed to restore connection and create a supportive home environment that reinforces practical recovery goals.
Practical, Sustainable Aftercare
Plans that fit real life in Colorado
Sustainable recovery is built on realistic aftercare. Donna Sue emphasizes ongoing tools—structured check‑ins, coping strategies for high‑risk situations, relapse prevention planning, and referrals to local supports. Respect for your scheduling contstraints. Focus on plans you can actually maintain. Recovery becomes part of your daily life rather than a temporary program.
