Denver Springs

About Denver Springs

Denver Springs is located in Englewood, Colorado and provides substance abuse and mental health disorder support for men, women and adolescents ages 12 and up. They’ll support you through all stages of recovery, including facilitating your detox process to make withdrawal as safe and comfortable as possible

Detox and Recovery in a Comfortable, Colorado Environment

They have a gym and private rooms so everyone has space to move, rest and feel comfortable while getting help

With locations in nearby Parker and Westminster, they accept private insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, state and federal military insurance like TRICARE, and they offer self payment options

Help for Adolescents Facing Trauma or Identity Struggles

Kids can get help for mental health or substance use through inpatient and outpatient programs made just for them. There’s 24 hour care when needed, along with therapy, medication support, and activities like art and yoga.

Some programs include school time so they don’t fall behind, and families are involved in the process every step of the way. Whether your child is facing emotional struggles, working through trauma, or looking for LGBTQ+ or faith based support, the care they receive is shaped around what they need most.

Inpatient Medical Detox and Outpatient Telehealth Support Available

Some folks move into outpatient care after a stay in residential treatment, while others choose to start with outpatient services. Their inpatient programs provide intensive support for mental health and addiction challenges, including medically supervised detox. Outpatient options are convenient for those who want to live at home but still need daily structure. There’s flexibility in the outpatient options too, like telehealth services, partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient programs to fit different needs.

Support for Military and First Responders

Their Help for Heroes program offers support for active duty military, veterans, and first responders. Since they follow Department of Defense guidelines, it is certified by TRICARE.

Military and first responders can regularly face trauma, stress and dangerous situations, so they include treatment for PTSD, substance use and mental health issues, with options like counseling and medication management. You may find it helpful to connect with others who are working through similar challenges.

Easy Access to Downtown Denver

Englewood is minutes from downtown Denver, with easy access to both the city and the mountains. There are lots of parks, places to walk and quiet outdoor spots that can help with healing. I like the Englewood Farm and Train in Belleview Park, or you may want to pick up your clubs and check out the nearby golf courses if you want to get outside or take a break.
