About Highlands Behavioral Health

Highlands Behavioral Health is a mental health facility located in Littleton, Colorado. They treat adults and adolescents for many different mental health conditions. They only offer treatment for people with substance use disorder if they also have a mental health condition.

They have an emergency inpatient service for clients who are experiencing a mental health crisis. You will be given an intake assessment to see if you need inpatient care. If you’re admitted to this program, you will normally stay between 5 and 7 days.

They have a full-time medically trained staff. They can provide you with medically assisted treatment if you need it. Once your mental health condition has stabilized, you can enter their outpatient program.

Outpatient treatment will consist of both group and individual therapy. Your individual therapy will be custom-tailored to you.

Therapists often use dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to treat people with co-occurring disorders. This type of therapy teaches you to accept your circumstances and to change your reaction towards them. It also offers coping mechanisms for dealing with the kinds of situations that trigger your substance use.

They have several different kinds of group therapy sessions. They have gender-specific sessions. They also have sessions that concentrate on various mental illnesses.

They offer two kinds of outpatient programs. If your mental health needs are severe, you can enter their partial hospitalization program (PHP). This means you attend counseling full-time and go home at night. They also have an intensive outpatient program (IOP), in which you come in several times a week for a few hours a day for treatment.

Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer a wide variety of services and levels of care to align with clients' unique and evolving needs. Outpatient care is best suited for clients who are stable and for those who wish to remain at home while receiving treatment. Clients typically receive addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training, including participating in evening, night, and weekend sessions to accommodate clients' schedules. Clients at an increased relapse risk may receive more frequent and intensive treatment.

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.

aftercare iconAftercare Support

partial-hospitalization iconPartial Hospitalization Program

For those that don't require round-the-clock care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term option that can be used as a step-down treatment or as an alternative to intensive hospitalization. PHP treatment requires up to 5 days a week of commitment where you'll receive 6 to 8 hours of support every day. While a partial hospitalization program typically requires a commute, telehealth may be available. PHP treatment costs can vary but are often covered by most insurance.

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.

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

The process of medically assisted detox usually takes place in an inpatient setting while under the 24/7 care of a team of licensed medical professionals. It's considered the safest way to rid the body of all addictive substances and prepare you for a transition into either an inpatient program or various forms of outpatient rehab. The program length varies depending on your needs, but it typically takes about 5-7 days.

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

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 iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

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.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

Men and women in Colorado have access to customized individual therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. These sessions explore your life experiences and patterns of substance abuse. Your therapist helps you recognize harmful behaviors and thoughts that empower you to make positive changes for lasting recovery.

couples-therapy iconCouples Therapy

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.

family iconFamily Therapy

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.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Participating in experiential therapy in Colorado brings awareness to the emotions and thoughts that affect your behavior.

Absolutely awful adolescent program. My son left in worse condition than when he went in. The case manager couldn't care less and the Dr. never called me back the entire time he was there. Terrible ...I would love the opportunity to talk to the owner.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! Still trying to get over the fact that i was sent there on an M-1 hold by some idiots who does not know what the hell they're doing !! This place is so sketchy! My experience there on the last time i was there, i was sent to the ER over something that was given to me cause i had a migraine. After arriving the ER.. the ED doc who suspected something going on that they gave me something to reverse the effects of those drugs they gave me. when i slowly came out of it, found out later that Highlands did not want to take responsibility for me and they basically said that I was not their patient that i was never admitted there and I got released from the M-1 hold from the ED doc. The fact that she told me that i was never their patient, how is it that i went thru intake and all that??? Turns out they did not want to take responsibility for something that had happened there that got me sent to the ER. Here i am 2 weeks later still trying to sort thru it and its hard cause i am still reeling from this and this is like a nightmare that i cant wake up from.

I am very thankful for the team of professionals at Highland Behavioral. In particular, Becca Jeambey, social worker, is incredible. She communicated frequently with me about my daughter and provided much guidance. Thank you to Dr. Thompson as well and all the staff who answer the phones on the unit. I felt I was welcome to follow up and ask questions with everyone on the team. Thank you.

PARENTS: PLEASE READ THIS. Do not send your child to highlands. I highly recommend Children s Hospital and Denver Health instead. First time I was sent I was 14. Last time I went was at 16. I still suffer from my traumatic experiences. What happened at highlands I haven t confided in my closest friends or family because it is so heavy. A lot of parents/guardians I imagine read these to see what their kid is getting into. I want to validate any worried parent, I know it s hard knowing what to do and how to help your child. Please, don t go to highlands for help. It s poison to your childs mental well being. The only reason I enjoyed highlands was the pure chaos of 30 kids on a unit. Please protect your kid, and find better help. My best advice is be gentle, and regardless of whatever argument is happening- tell them their life is worth living. They are going to push you away, say terrible things, keep your head high. They love and need you- it wont feel like that but I promise they do. Please love your kid. As a 17 year old who rejected their parents for years, went to the psych ward 13 different times, I m here. I'm alive. I am trying with my parents again. Its your kids choice and desire to get better. You cant force it. Sorry, decided to say some advice I hope will reach even one parent. DONT SEND YOUR KID TO HIGHLANDS!!!
