About Flatirons Recovery - Denver
Set in the Union Square part of Lakewood, Flatirons Recovery is a safe retreat for people on a journey to heal from substance use, mental health disorders, or dual diagnosis. Flatirons understands the challenges that come with seeking treatment while managing the demands of everyday life. That’s why they offer day treatment (partial hospitalization or PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP), with a recovery residence available for clients who need it.
Discover Transformative Therapies
Flatirons Recovery’s core holistic treatments include mindfulness-based therapy to improve emotional regulation, gender-specific programs to address challenges unique to men and women, and the CRAFT program to empower families to support loved ones in recovery. Day treatment includes 6 hours per day and IOP 3 hours per day of individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatry, and more.
Develop a Strong Foundation with Mindfulness
In addition to traditional cognitive-behavioral techniques, Flatirons Recovery uses a mindfulness-based approach that emphasizes staying present and aware. Techniques include meditation, yoga, and biofeedback. These methods reduce stress, improve emotional regulation, and enhance coping mechanisms, making them essential for reducing the risk of relapse and improving overall well-being.
Take a Real-World Approach to Recovery
Flatirons’ program is structured to emulate a healthy, thriving life in long-term recovery. This means clients are out and about daily, and spend time in both of Flatirons’ locations: a healing office space for clinical and therapeutic work, and a cozy modern ranch house where clients focus on self-care, nourishment, and community-building. Beyond the time on the ranch, clients can expect a focus on sober fun, with outings such as hikes, rock climbing, paddleboarding, frisbee golf, visiting museums, bowling, sporting events, and gatherings with sober-living facilities.
