Ignitus Recovery Announces Acquisition of AIM Health: Building on a 20-Year Legacy

BOULDER, Colo., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ignitus Recovery is proud to announce the acquisition of AIM Health Boulder, a respected behavioral health program serving young adults, individuals, and families in the Boulder community for more than 20 years.

This transition represents a strategic investment in expanding access to high-quality behavioral healthcare while preserving the trusted clinical legacy AIM Health has built throughout Colorado and nationally. Ignitus Recovery’s vision is to strengthen AIM Health’s existing PHP and IOP programming while expanding continuity of care through a Recovery-Oriented Systems of Care model that includes residential treatment, alumni engagement, and long-term recovery support.

“Our goal is to honor the clinical integrity and heart of AIM Health while creating a sustainable future that allows the organization to continue growing and serving more individuals and families for years to come,” said Steve Millette, CEO of Ignitus Recovery. “We believe deeply in the work this team has built, and we are committed to supporting staff, referral partners, and the Boulder community through this transition with transparency, collaboration, and respect.”

Founded on the values of Connection, Trust, People First, Accountability, and Excellence Through Innovation, Ignitus Recovery leadership brings more than 90 years of combined behavioral health and operational experience across mental health treatment, substance use disorders, recovery support services, outreach development, and long-term systems of care.

“AIM Health has always been deeply personal to me, and finding the right organization to carry this work forward was incredibly important,” said Danny Conroy, Founder of AIM Health. “I believe Ignitus Recovery shares our commitment to clinical excellence, integrity, and compassionate care, and I’m confident they will help take AIM to the next level while honoring the heart of what we’ve built over the past two decades.”

Importantly, there will be no disruption to current services, referral processes, or support for clients and families during the transition. Ignitus Recovery is committed to strengthening operational support, enhancing communication, and continuing to build meaningful partnerships throughout Boulder and surrounding communities.

Together, Ignitus Recovery and AIM Health look forward to building upon a strong foundation of compassionate, ethical, and clinically driven behavioral healthcare while expanding services that support long-term healing and wellness.
