IDEA Forum Inc – Washington Street, Denver

Hmmm 🤔🤔🤔 loading please wait.......

Place is a bunch of ignor

Worst people in the world work here. Front desk lady is actively trying to interfere in testing. Stay away from this place at all costs if you want accurate testing. Make sure to call the BBB as well.

So today me and my husband went to take are UA and for this month they have been really good to us but today 1 of the women that was working today had a attitude towards my husband and I'm glad my husband was respectful… not to say anything back but she should not work there if she can't be professional and also with not giving my receipt after I check in but the guy be hind me can get his receipt so please I hope you see how me and my husband has been treated today and put that into consideration like treat people how you would want to be treated

I called to reschedule an appointment and got an attitude. Then when requesting a refund they said I had to load from the card that I paid with. When I gave them what I thought was the right card they confirmed it.… Turns out it was not the right card. Now I'm out my appointment fee and they didn't answer my phone calls. Very unprofessional and do not recommend. This gets reported to my probation officer it only makes me look worse. Very unprofessional I do not recommend

I went to IDEA Thornton because of my 2 DUIs and honestly they were super helpful. The whole process was easier than I expected and everyone was great. My teacher Paul was awesome, Really solid guy and a great teacher.… I learned a lot from him and actually looked forward to the classes.

I was skeptical at first with class coming here but once I got Paul as my counselor he made me feel right at home right away. Made me feel comfortable till I was ready to share and now completing my classes as of… yesterday his class and idea changed my life for the better more than I can imagine. Now I can focus on what's in store for me. Thank you Paul and Idea.

Front desk is extremely unprofessional

Second DUI, did both my classes here. This time around I had Paul as my teacher and this man really opened my eyes. Not only does he genuinely care, he really makes the sure he is there for you the whole way. The way he… holds you accountable for your own actions, but is still there to listen and guide you in a better direction. People can change and Paul is one to have by your side. 10 out of 10 would recommend him to anyone. If you’re ever In a situation where you find yourself here, ask for classes with Paul. Thanks for everything brotha.

I just have to say if you go here Paul Padilla is the best he helped me change my whole life around helped me to overcome my addiction and gave me new tools to help stay on the right track

I had the OPPORTUNITY and PRIVILEGE to be in Paul Padillas group alongside about two handful of Men that are there Receiving nothing but AUTHENTICITY, SUPPORT, KNOWLEDGE, WISDOM, GUIDANCE, and TRUTH no matter what the… case was. Having crucial conversations that most definitely needed to be and when they needed to be had!! Brother, Paul, thank you for the time I was BLESSED to be in the same room as you and no doubt all of the game you tossed our way. Keep doing g what you are doing…..it’s changing lives and saving individuals lives!!

Honestly such a great experience throughout the whole time I was there. I initially was nervous and afraid I wouldn’t like the classes but after the first one, I knew how much I was welcomed and that there was a… solution to my problems without the judgement of others. Huge shoutout to Paul, he is one of the kindest, realest, and true people I have ever met and his class is one to be remembered. Learned so much throughout the whole process and it made me feel more confident as a person. I am going to forever remember what I have learned and how good it was for me. I am now able to use what I’ve learned and spread the word to my friends and family and anyone that needs help with their problems or addictions. If you are afraid about the process, please do not be. The whole crew over at Idea knows what they are doing and you will not be disappointed!

Receptionist is unqualified for her position! I had a six oclock appointment today! My appointment was scheduled via phone call few days prior! I gave the receptionist my insurance information she confirmed that I was… covered, appointment was scheduled! Showed up today for my appointment and part of it was to take a UA and pay $230.00 cash. my insurance doesn’t cover it! Well I’ve been to other treatment centers in the past my insurance covered hundreds of UA’s no problem! There management is either uneducated about what my insurance covers or there scamming their clients! 5 👎👎👎👎👎 down for IDEA Thornton, Co.

It is beneficial to engage in a conversation with them about the positive and supportive nature of the community. Maintain a positive outlook, persist in your efforts, and continue to strive for success. Remember that… you will achieve your goals and accomplish everything you set out to do. Refrain from dwelling on past mistakes or failures. My first experience with DUI treatment was with Paul. He’s an amazing example of someone who takes care of everything they can. He was help with the me and student of all things and has been doing great!

Caught 2 DUI’s went here for treatment, had a great experience! Paul Padilla is really nice and cares about his work and helping people succeed through their addictions/recovery. Also had the pleasure of having his wife… Crystal Padilla as my counselor as well, She was very relatable and opened up with her experiences and allowed us to feel safe and really grasp the treatments to better ourselves and have success. The commitment and dedication of the staff and counselors is beyond amazing. Thank you Paul, Crystal and IDEA for all that you do and continue changing lives and helping people find sobriety!

When I first started treatment at IDEA. I didn't know what to expect and was reluctant on, if I should continue going and give up on attending Paul Padilla was and is a great teacher. His lesson plan and energy is… second to none. I give thanks to him for helping me realize what I was worth not only to the people around me. But to MYSELF. I would recommend anyone who needed to do classes and to find themselves at IDEA with Paul Padilla. If I can complete this course and education, anyone can. I can't thank him and the program enough.. 💯

**WARNING: DO NOT COME HERE!!** This place has a tendency to reschedule appointments and take your money without proper justification. If you try to defend yourself, you’ll be branded as having an attitude. Standing up… for yourself will only work against you here! Remember, the owner is also your evaluator, which means complaints won’t go anywhere. **Save your money and look elsewhere!**

If you’re going through tough times and are looking for help such as substance abuse groups, I highly recommend coming to IDEA. Aside from having multiple recourses the councilors there make you feel heard. Paul Padilla… stood out the most from my treatment, sharing his background and telling us about what he’s been through has shown me he isn’t there for a paycheck but genuinely cares that people better their life’s and make smarter decisions. Even though I am no longer in treatment I would go back just to listen to him crack jokes and give some of the best life advice I have heard throughout my years.

Stay away from this program!

I really enjoyed being in this class. It changed my life.

Terrible- staff is rude and try to make you pay for parenting classes through them when the probation offers them for free. Their counselor gives everyone a sheet of paper and leaves to teach another class scheduled at… the same time and says you have to sit in the room for at least an hour before you can get credit. Shows they are all about money if they double book classrooms and just state you need to sit there for an hour while they are gone

I worked with Paul Padilla and it was an experience that I not only needed, but felt like I deserved. Paul had such a welcoming environment and such an openness to his groups that I did not expect. I spent about 38… weeks working with Paul not once did I feel embarrassed or ashamed to go to Idea BECAUSE of the support I received. If you find yourself in a position to be attending this facility, I would strongly recommend trying to work with Paul if you can because change is definitely possible here.

Had a great experience! Paul Padilla was a great person to have teaching the education portion!

Thank u Paul for everything you really changed my aspect on life for the better youll still be hearing from me shortly I still wanna be able to vent out my emotions n let a lot of other people hear my story that is why… I'm leaving the review today I'm glad God led me towards your way of teaching how to overcome my demons throughout my life of trauma im now a changed man n everyone in my life sees it and it brings them joy knowing ima be okay in life with my family i appreciate u paul to the fullest N Ill never forget for what youve done for me god bless u and youll be hearing from me sooner then u know Highly recommend if u want to take the next step to change take your treatment here

Paul was a great person to be running the class he had me looking forward to Sunday every week and if I didn’t have him I don’t think I would’ve taken it seriously

I highly recommend this place my counselor Paul was very polite and professional!

If I could give it negative stars I would. This place takes advantage of their customers and needs to be investigated by the bbb or state of Colorado. The lady with rbf was rude and had me sit aside while she charged my… husband and let him know to come back the following week. When he went back they told him he had not paid and made him pay again. Throughout the course of his classes he’s told me they’ve done so many stuff wrong and has heard of the same thing happen to other clients. Please be aware of it and make sure your not going to get taken advantage of I see it happening a lot to our Hispanic community where resources are limited. They can manage to give YOUR private information to another client but if you go and try to get your partners correct one they refuse to give it to you and ask you for the other clients information back.
