About Denver Springs

When seeking services at Denver Springs, you have the option to call ahead of time to complete an assessment and they accept walk-ins. During the assessment, you will work with a social worker to have a better understanding of where you are and what you are looking for in regards to the help you need. They’ll help you connect to the level of care that will be most beneficial for you.

This facility offers a Help for Heroes program designed specifically for military personnel, healthcare workers, veterans and first responders. This program helps combat addiction and mental health disorders by providing a safe environment for you to get the help you need. They will also help with medication management and issues like PTSD. They offer both individual and group therapy so you can get the support, accountability, and help you need. They’ll also show you how to incorporate holistic therapeutic approaches to deal with day to day life.

Their outpatient services offer a little more flexibility than their PHP or inpatient programs. More often than not, once you complete treatment and begin to adjust to everyday life while maintaining commitments and responsibilities, finding time for inner healing can be a challenge. Their telehealth outpatient program helps you still get the care you need from the privacy of your own home while still maintaining your weekly schedule.

My daughter has been here twice. When you go into an emergency room they send you where ever there is an open bed. You don't get to decide where they go. The first time my daughter came here they sent her meds home with the wrong kid. The most recent time I could not talk to my child. When I called they would put me on hold then the phone would disconnect. Then they would tell me she's been on the phone all day but couldn't tell me who she was talking to. I gave them a list of people she could talk to. I took her clothes for her. She came home with a bunch of clothes missing. They changed her meds and the Dr never told me what she was taking. She's been home for a week and she's been asleep most of the day she looks like a zombie. They didn't sent a Dr note to excuse her from school. I called and asked for it they never called back. The communication from the people providing "care" here sucks. There is no accountability. My daughter was taken here at 8pm they put her in one of their tiny commence rooms until 4am. She's feeling suicidal and they stuck her in a tiny room with no one around for 8 hours. She has an eating disorder after leaving that room everyone got breakfast she got bread and crackers. After 4 days and not hearing from anyone about my childs care I asked if she had discharge scheduled since I haven't heard from anyone. He said she was scheduled to leave Wednesday this was on a Monday. The next day someone called and said she was scheduled to leave on Friday. I said I still hadn't heard from the Dr so she said she would have him call me. 2 days later I still hadn't heard from him so after insisting on going to the family planning meeting in person the Dr finally called. They also told me at that point it would be Sunday and it was up to the Dr. He told my daughter she would be going home at some point next week. So he finally called and said she would be going home Sunday. He said since she started new meds he wanted to watch for side effects. Never talked to me about the meds. I assumed when she got released someone would talk to me. They didn't they handed me a folder and said good luck. After getting home and looking up the meds used together they have sedation effects. How is my child supposed to go to school if I can't get her out of bed!? There's always kids here putting their hands on other kids. This is not a safe facility. I hope my daughter never ends up back in this place. They do not care about them.

Accepted Insurance

Denver Springs works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

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.

inpatient iconInpatient

Residential treatment programs are those that offer housing and meals in addition to substance abuse treatment. Rehab facilities that offer residential treatment allow patients to focus solely on recovery, in an environment totally separate from their lives. Some rehab centers specialize in short-term residential treatment (a few days to a week or two), while others solely provide treatment on a long-term basis (several weeks to months). Some offer both, and tailor treatment to the patient's individual requirements.

intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient

Clients receiving care in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) engage in a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week on average. However, many intensive outpatient rehabs offer up to 20 therapeutic hours weekly. IOP services are ideal for those in early recovery or who are at an elevated risk of relapse. IOP may be chosen in lieu of inpatient rehab. Treatment modalities typically include psychotherapy, life skills training, medication assisted treatment (MAT), and holistic care.

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

A partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term form of intensive rehab, usually for those with acute symptoms that are hard to manage but don’t require 24-hour care. PHPs have structured programming (i.e. individual and/or group therapy), and usually meet 3-5 days a week for around 6 hours (i.e. 9am-3m). Some PHPs are residential (patients sleep on site) and some are not, so patients sleep at home. PHPs can last from 1-6 months, and some offer transportation and meals.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal. The length of stay at the detoxification program is determined according to the specific needs of the patient.

24-hour icon24-Hour Clinical Care

Detox can be dangerous if not properly supervised, making 24-hour clinical care in Colorado an essential tool in the recovery process. The constant monitoring by medical professionals helps individuals through critical stages of recovery. Medical professionals and addiction specialists are available 24/7 to provide medications that ease withdrawal symptoms and to treat any other issues that arise.

Treatments

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.

Alcoholism is defined as a physical dependence on alcohol. In this state, the body experiences withdrawal symptoms in the absence of alcohol. Over time, a person with alcohol use disorder also must drink greater amounts of alcohol to achieve the same effects. To overcome alcohol use disorder, alcohol rehab in Colorado is usually necessary, a process which includes supervised medical detox. This is followed by intensive rehab, then a maintenance program that may include 12-step support.

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.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image

Adult Program

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.
young-adult-program thumbnail image

Young Adult Program

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.
military-program thumbnail image

Military Program

Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
child-program thumbnail image

Child Program

The providers who specialize in the children's rehab space understand the specialized needs that this population faces. School-based and social services such as tutoring and family counseling are often central to treatment. Child programs may also address the needs of youth experiencing substance abuse in the home, including a parent's or sibling's addiction.

Clinical Services

The main principle of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Colorado is that substance use disorders are based on faulty thinking and behavior patterns. The goal of this treatment is to help the individual learn better ways of coping with challenges, which will lead to changes in thinking and behavior.

Dialectical behavior therapy is skills based and present oriented. You'll be asked to keep a diary of emotions and related behaviors and practice the skills you've been learning between sessions. The focus of skills development is on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Group therapy in Colorado offers you a platform to share your stories about drug addiction and co occurring mental health conditions. You'll receive encouragement and empathy from peers who understand your journey, fostering a sense of community and belonging.

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.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

Based on the couple's needs, couples therapy may take different forms. Your therapist will probably take an integrated approach, using techniques from several methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic couple's therapy. The goal is to work through challenges and strengthen your relationship.

During family therapy sessions, family members in Colorado work with therapists to understand addiction as a disease that has affected the entire family. This approach fosters empathy and reduces blame on any one member. Promoting this collective effort helps to support the recovery process.

Addiction therapy uses recreation to provide structured activities that replace substance use with positive experiences. For example, swimming, cooking classes, and hiking trips encourage social interaction and improve physical health and emotional stability. This helps you rebuild your life without relying on drugs or alcohol.

Creative arts therapy can take place in individual or group sessions. It may include reading poetry, journaling, making videos, or scrapbooking. These expressive activities allow participants to tap into emotions and process challenges in ways other than talking about their problems.

Participating in experiential therapy in Colorado brings awareness to the emotions and thoughts that affect your behavior. As you engage in an interactive or creative activity, your therapist will help you reflect on and analyze these patterns and develop healthy coping strategies to use in the future.

Nicotine replacement therapy treats your physical symptoms of withdrawal so you can better focus on breaking down any mental or emotional addiction you have to smoking. Options include nicotine patches, gum, and lozenges, as well as prescription inhalers and sprays.

If only I could give this 0 stars. As many people have indicated on here, this facility appears to care more about what they can bill than whether they can help people. I voluntarily went into the facility and decided that I was not getting the help I needed. I told them I wanted to leave at which point they put a 72 hour hold on me without ever talking with me about it. The only way I found out was through my sister. Thank heavens that I had family members noticing that the staff gave conflicting information and my family pushed to get me out of there. Do not send family here.

Worst place ever to go to the doctor take for eve to meet up with you therapist take forever to show up to their shift. Took me 4 days here to even mean a therapist and doctor. Continuously lied about when releasing me constantly push you to take medication that isn’t required for you. this was the worst mental health hospital I’ve ever experienced the food is terrible the only good thing in here is the other patients who are nice, they open the door every 10 minutes to check and n you and never turn the lights off or shut the door most nurses are rude and have attitude for simple questions. No phones allowed if your device is cracked. They basically send you here to not off yourself but being here will make you want to off yourself like never befor they ask questions every morning and depending on the question answers they will keep you here longer against you will. Will constantly lie about when your leaning the day you leave will take forever to get out of there they don’t care about their people here just how much they can make off your insurance. Please don’t send your loved one here unless you want them to come back worse and drugged up.

Classic over billing! If you’re a Medicare patient, CHECK YOUR CLAIMS. The doctors don’t work at the facility. They are independent contractors, and over bill like crazy. Dr. Hannah Slowey billed me for 12 interactions. That means she saw me every day, and that she worked 12 straight days! She didn’t. Further, in order to bill Medicare, these must be at least 25 minutes in length. She didn’t spend 25 minutes with me total during my stay, and also billed one for 55 minutes. I had a rash on my legs and arms. She looked at these for about 1 minute, from behind the counter at the nurses station, 2 or 3 times. She also told me the drugs I was taking, prescribed by her, could not be causing the rash, and that I should see a dermatologist. I did. The rash was absolutely caused by the drugs and exposure to sun. I also requested a blood test to see my cholesterol and A1C level. This was never done, nor was a urine analysis. I have filed complaints with Medicare and provided the documentation. The other doctors who billed Medicare did the exact same thing. They see you for 5 minutes, bill for 25. Really outrageous, and is straight up Medicare fraud. No wonder Medicare is in such bad shape. I can promise Denver Springs I will see this through.

Poor communication poor response, tried to contact and assist with treatment options and concerns but was ignored and rejected. We felt like this place was a wasted treatment option and we now have to start over. Don’t waste time or money!

Thinking about Denver Springs for you or your loved one? Don’t do it! Check out Sandstone Care instead. My daughter tried both and the difference in quality of care was night and day! Denver Springs: Understaffed, underqualified, with a terrible corporate office with shady business practices. My daughter went for two days and we pulled her out because the program was half baked and administered by a college intern. Corporate provided a partial refund then sent me bills for months afterwards. It took 2 months before they’d even speak to me despite multiple attempts at resolution. At that point, they acknowledged their egregious billing error and offered me a “discounted” bill, like they were doing us a favor for their awful service and crap treatment program. “Thanks for trying our program, so sorry it sucked, btw pay us more money and do it “promptly”. I’ll be reporting them to the BBB. Simply a poorly run outfit with an abysmal corporate culture. P.S. I love their response, like they really care now. They had zero interest in resolving this earlier. I will never speak to another Denver Springs rep again!
