A DRS is the official, legal document that proves to the Colorado Department of Revenue (DMV) and the Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) that you have completed your court-ordered or DMV-mandated hours.

1. Reinstating Your Driver's License
The DMV will not let you reinstate your license after a DUI until they see a DRS that matches the Track (A, B, C, or D) they assigned to you. Even if you finish your classes, you are not done in the eyes of the state until this document is generated and uploaded.
2. Closing Your Probation Case
Your Probation Officer (PO) needs the DRS to prove to the judge that you have met the terms of your sentencing. Without it, you could be flagged for non-compliance even if you attended every group.
3. Transferring to a New Agency
If you move or need to switch providers, the new agency cannot give you credit for the hours you already did unless you provide them with a DRS from your previous facility.

Client Responsibility
Reporting Absences: If you know you will be unable to attend a session, you must report your absence to our administrative team as soon as possible.
Documentation: All absences are documented in your clinical record. Unreported absences are marked as "No-Show" (NS), while reported absences are marked as "Not Attended" (NA).

Attendance Contracts: Inconsistent attendance disrupts your therapeutic progress. If you accumulate three or more absences, you may be placed on a formal Attendance Contract.

At Counseling Center of the Rockies, we believe that a safe and respectful environment is essential for personal growth and recovery. Because our groups are conducted via Telehealth, every participant shares the responsibility of protecting the "virtual therapeutic space."
1. Confidentiality in a Digital Space
To protect the privacy of all group members, you must adhere to the following:
Privacy is Mandatory: You must be in a private, quiet room with a closed door.
No Observers: Children, partners, roommates, or friends are not permitted to be in the room or within earshot during your session.
Prohibited Locations: You may not join a session from a car, coffee shop, workplace, or any public area. These environments violate the confidentiality rights of your peers.
"What stays in Group": Any personal information shared by others during the session must remain strictly confidential.
2. Respectful Engagement
Healthy dialogue is the foundation of our program. We expect all participants to engage with curiosity and compassion:
Ownership of Speech: Use “I statements” to share your feelings and reflections (e.g., "I feel frustrated when..." rather than "You make me feel...").
Thoughtful Participation: While thoughts don't need to be perfectly formulated, your language must remain polite, considerate, and non-judgmental.
Conflict Resolution: If you have a disagreement with a peer or a clinician, please address it professionally after the group session via email or by requesting a private individual meeting.
3. Conduct & Disciplinary Actions
To ensure the best experience for our therapeutic community, disruptive behavior is not permitted.
Professionalism: You must refrain from behavior that is hostile, argumentative, uncooperative, or otherwise disruptive to the group process.
The Warning System: Clinicians will provide one verbal warning for behavior that does not meet expectations.
Removal from Group: Individuals who continue to disregard these standards will be removed from the Zoom session. If removed, you will not receive credit for the session and may be marked as a "No-Show."
Review & Discharge: If you are removed for behavior, a clinical review will be required before you can return. Persistent behavioral issues or lack of progress may result in a discharge for non-compliance.
Note: Being discharged for behavioral non-compliance may result in a permanent loss of eligibility to re-enroll with our agency.
-
At Counseling Center of the Rockies, we are committed to providing a safe, sober, and productive environment for all participants. Attending a session while under the influence of any substance—prescribed or otherwise—compromises your ability to engage in the therapeutic process and can be highly disruptive or triggering to your peers.
Client Requirements
The "Four-Hour" Rule: You must be free from the influence of any mind-altering substances for a minimum of four hours prior to your scheduled group. If you are taking regular prescription medications that may cause impairment, please work with our administration to select a group time that falls at least four hours before or after your dosage.
Clinician Assessment: If a clinician has a reasonable suspicion that you are under the influence during a session, you will be immediately removed from the Zoom group.
Loss of Credit: If removed for suspected intoxication, you will not receive credit for that session and will be marked as a "No-Show" in your clinical record.
Mandatory Review: Before you are permitted to return to any group, you will be required to attend a private individual meeting with a clinician to discuss the incident and determine the appropriate next steps for your treatment.
Program Discharge: Attending group while under the influence is a serious violation of our program standards and may result in an immediate discharge for non-compliance.
Note: A discharge for violating the Intoxication Policy may result in a permanent loss of eligibility to re-enroll with Counseling Center of the Rockies.
