Outpatient Mental Health Treatment in Denver, CO

If you’re living with mental illness, every step you take toward change is an accomplishment.

The Changes® outpatient mental health treatment programs offered at our Denver, CO-area facilities provide several pathways to help you build healthy coping skills, identify triggers and replacement behaviors, and achieve a higher quality of life. Some people step down to outpatient treatment from one of our inpatient programs, while others start their journey as an outpatient.

We’ll work with you to understand any barriers you may face to receiving treatment, and to help find solutions. We offer schedules to fit your needs, payment plans to make treatment affordable, and non-emergency transportation in some areas.

We’re ready to help you take the next step.

What We Treat

Mental illness is a complex group of conditions that affect a person’s mood, thinking, and behavior. In our outpatient programs, we treat the following illnesses:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• PTSD
• Bipolar Disorder
• Borderline Personality Disorder

Our program begins with a mental and physical health assessment. Based on your assessment and your needs, our team will recommend a treatment plan that typically includes a combination of talk therapy, holistic therapies, peer-to-peer support groups, and medication management.

Dual Diagnosis for Co-Occurring Disorders

Sometimes people with mental health issues are also struggling with substance use. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan that addresses your needs and all of your symptoms.

What Does Help Look Like?

We offer a wide range of therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness training, family education and counseling, and fitness and wellness education.

When you’re in outpatient mental health treatment, whether you are stepping down from inpatient care or beginning treatment as an outpatient, your plan will include one of two programs.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

For people who need to maintain a work, home, or school schedule, our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers comprehensive outpatient services in a day or evening format. Typically, this program lasts two to four weeks and meets five to six days a week. You’ll participate in several sessions each day, including individual, group, and family therapy. You’ll also have opportunities to enjoy our beautiful grounds and take part in holistic activities like yoga, music, and art.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Your treatment plan may include our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), which meets three to five days a week for a minimum of nine hours per week. This program offers group and family therapy, as well as medication management, skill development, and long-term recovery planning. Before you complete the program, we’ll make sure that any ongoing treatment you need is aligned with your aftercare provider.
Some of the discussion areas for outpatient mental health treatment include triggers and warning signs, self-identity and self-esteem, coping skills, relapse stages and prevention, and understanding emotions and moods.

What Do I Do Next?

At our facilities, your outpatient treatment will focus on you and your specific needs.

Our first priority is to make sure you’re safe. You’ll be given a full assessment by our team to determine the best path for your recovery. We’ll ask about your physical and mental health history and the symptoms you’re currently experiencing. You can schedule an assessment by phone or chat anytime, day or night. Our Denver Springs location is also open for walk-ins 24/7.

Following your assessment, our team will work with you to develop a personalized plan for treatment.
