A Legacy of Compassionate Detox Care Since 1998

Founded in 1998 by Dr. Peter Coleman, the Coleman Institute has helped thousands of individuals safely detox from opioids, alcohol, and other substances. With a focus on outpatient medical detox protocols, we have long been recognized for our effective, comfortable approach to recovery.

In 2017, The Coleman Institute joined BayMark Health Services, working collaboratively with Applegate Recovery. This partnership helped us provide evidence-based detox services as part of a larger behavioral healthcare network.

Why Did the Coleman Institute Close?

In late 2024, the Coleman Institute experienced a brief pause in operations during a leadership transition and organizational restructuring. This temporary closure allowed for internal updates and a thoughtful transition to independent ownership, ensuring continued alignment with our long-standing mission and values.

Reopening Under New Independent Leadership

As of 2025, the Coleman Institute has reopened as an independently operated organization, now led by Jennifer Gifford. Jennifer has been a part of the Coleman team since 2000 and now serves as CEO and owner. Her leadership reflects decades of experience and a deep commitment to the values that have defined Coleman since its founding.

Is the Coleman Institute Open Now?
