Known for its harmonious balance of outdoor adventure and urban sophistication, Denver, Colorado, features Mile High Behavioral Healthcare. Since 1960 this organization has provided behavioral health services for voluntary and court ordered individuals facing significant risks and treatment barriers.
You can access comprehensive outpatient addiction and co-occurring disorder care to start or continue your recovery journey. With outpatient care you can maintain daily responsibilities while getting the help you need. You can participate in customized approaches with integrated primary care, legal support, medication assisted treatment and other recovery support services.
What stands out most to me is their tailored programs for special populations. You can access targeted services for men, women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, veterans, individuals living with HIV, youth, people involved in the criminal justice system and primary caregiver families. You’ll benefit from personalized care from professionals who understand your unique situation and needs.
Another great feature I noticed was their aftercare services. They provide ongoing support and encouragement to keep you on track after completing an initial program. You can access peer support specialists and a health app to keep in touch with your clinicians. They also offer several sober events including yoga, sports, multi family outings, family dinners and annual galas.
I also think it’s nice that they offer DUI education. If you’re facing a DUI charge you can participate in this track to learn more about the consequences of driving under the influence and how to change your behaviors. You’ll benefit from understanding the effect substance use has on your life and taking the next steps to make a change.
Our Methodology
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.
Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.
In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.

I won't tell you it was a completely negative experience because I learned some things but of course there are a lot of things to improve, some therapists are good but also some are the worse.
This place is a joke and I can only speak on their inpatient women’s house. I have been struggling with addiction for 7 years with about 4 of those years clean so it’s never a matter of getting clean it’s just staying clean so I finally decided to try rehab considering that’s the one thing I have yet to try. I came in there with high hopes and really wanting to find myself and work through my problems. Mind you I went in there by choice by myself even drove myself and had my car parked out front. I could have never prepared myself to be walking into a damn adult daycare! My gosh. Hardly any groups going on like if you look at the schedule it doesn’t seem like there is a ton of free time but oh that’s ALL there was, was free time. Just sitting around. Doing NOTHING. And in all this free time you have some of the girls there who are literally clearly using this place as a shelter and why not? You eat for free, sleep for free, get your own room and really don’t have to do shit. And then when I come to them as an adult, as calm as can be and tell them it’s just not a good fit I’m leaving I have one lady throw a temper tantrum and tells me “well I can’t get ur stuff right now” I’m like okay that’s fine I can wait is there anything you would like me to do like grab my bedding or ..” she cuts me off “no! Nothing for u to do but I can’t grab your things” damn near trying to like hold me hostage. I still did not give into this immaturity and told her I’d just wait. Then another lady comes out and I know their names I’m just not going to blast them like that but she tries to talk to me out of it and continues to tell me I’m just not ready to get sober. Yeah okay lady whatever you say, your programs a joke. And as I’m grabbing my stuff the one lady who was basically tryna hold my stuff hostage sends someone else to come and tell me to make sure I grab my dishes. Like just a coward. I honestly could go on I really could but this is the longest review I ever have done but if you are scared of going into rehab and really just need a roof over ur head, go here you won’t be disappointed.
Thank God for kind of loving people with patience.they really took there time to make me feel welcome.......MAC!
Trust no one, especially not this organization. I was a mess when I walked in, not really interested in help. For the first few days they seemed extremely supportive and made me feel like their only client. I felt like I connected with one of the case workers and all too quickly I trusted her. She quickly got me into an in patient program at a facility she was not familiar with. What she thought was a 30 day program turned out to be 7-10 days. She was well aware I could not go back to where I was staying after the program, but assured me not to worry about it. I tried to check that through a text during treatment, but I didn't hear back about it. When I was discharged, it took longer than expected so in the Uber on the way to her office I got a text saying she had to leave work early and we could get together the following day. I basically never heard from her again. I guess she didn't care for my reply. Eventually her boss had me work with the housing assistance director to put a roof over my head. Weeks later when she finally found me a bed, she was mistaken. She found me an interview for a bed. I didn't have addiction issues so I wasn't even a candidate. So, she went dark too. When I eventually texted and said stop looking, I'll figure it out, she replied saying that they found someplace that was perfect. It was a 2 year program, on a farm, for drug addiction issues. I had none. I don't know who's file she was looking at, I was looking for Mental Health support, not addiction support. I took care of it myself the following morning. They left me homeless and $3000 more in debt and couldn't even pick up the phone. Just a few useless texts prolonging my misery. I wish I'd never walked in there. They absolutely made my situation worse. Horrific. HOLY YOU KNOW WHAT!!! That case worker I trusted, stupid me, didn't even check to see if the hospital she convinced me to go to was on my insurance!!!!! I'm not $3000 more in debt, it's closer to $22,000! Holy you know what! Now I have no choice but to seek legal assistance against them. Please, don't "help" me anymore!!!!!
