Our Story

Founded in Boulder, CO, in 1999, AIM was created as a call to support young adults struggling to integrate into the world after moving from an isolated environment of acute treatment facilities to the challenges of life on their own.

Our program began in a small University Hill duplex with a few male participants, several dedicated team members, and a huge commitment to helping young adults become healthy, independent community members. As our reputation for excellence grew, so did the number of young adults who entered our doors. AIM has continued to grow thanks to the strong backing of educational consultants and other referring professionals.

We have adapted to changing participant needs and expanded to provide more opportunities. We currently serve a diverse population of young adults with diagnoses including but not limited to substance use. Many of our participants experience depression, anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, and a lack of community. We are proud of fostering a welcoming community for our LGBTQA participants and welcome all gender identity and sexual orientations.

Today, our umbrella of services has grown to include an AIM Assessment, AIM Health, and Madelife, allowing us to support the wide-ranging needs and wants of our participants and their families.
