Levels of care
- Inpatient / residential
- When home life makes recovery harder to hold onto, inpatient care offers a setting built for higher needs.
- Partial hospitalization (PHP)
- Daytime sessions in Colorado build skills that ease the move to lighter care. Practice happens daily while support stays close, so the next step feels manageable.
- Outpatient
- If you need more independence than fuller programs offer, outpatient treatment keeps care to a lighter, scheduled load.
- Aftercare support
- Aftercare support in Colorado gives early recovery a steady base, with relapse prevention as one of its main aims. Regular contact and honest conversation help a person spot warning signs early.
- Co-occurring disorders
- Care looks at how a substance use disorder and a mental health condition overlap for each person. Depression, anxiety, trauma or PTSD, and bipolar disorder are common pairings seen together.
