The Ranch at The Raleigh House

Substance Use and Mental Health
Residential
Insurance

The Ranch treats both primary substance use disorders and primary mental health conditions, with the capability to handle more acute and complex presentations like bipolar disorder and PTSD alongside depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and trauma, so clients don't need an SUD diagnosis to be a fit. Care spans detox and stabilization, 30/60/90-day residential treatment, and a partial hospitalization program with ranch-like housing. Set on wide-open land, The Ranch offers an immersive retreat experience that balances nature with structure and enough room to breathe.

Treat the Wound, Not Just the Symptoms

At The Ranch, treatment starts with a question: Why? Substance use and mental health disorders are often a coping response to something deeper, frequently rooted in trauma and early childhood attachment wounds. That's why their approach leans heavily on understanding and processing the root causes of those wounds. Through inner-child work, schema work, and EMDR, they identify why a client is suffering. Rather than treating addiction or mental health issues as something to be ashamed of, the focus stays on the underlying pain.

Slow Down on 40 Acres of Colorado Prairie

The Ranch sits on 40 acres of open land, with a lodge-style residential building featuring warm wood finishes, a communal dining area with on-site chefs, and comfortable rooms designed for real rest. Outside, clients find horses under wide-open skies with space to breathe. A fully equipped gym and yoga classes keep the body moving, while porches, open-air gathering spots, and even a casual game of checkers give people room to be together.

Swap Old Routine for a New Community

Aftercare at The Ranch includes structured partial hospitalization programming on site or intensive outpatient care at The Raleigh House in Denver Tech Center. Weekly alumni meetings keep people connected after treatment ends. Sober Saturday brings 50 to 60 people together for BBQs, bowling, or other activities. There's also a big 12-step group that meets Friday nights. These different gatherings share a common purpose: showing up for each other, building community, and practicing healthy connections.

Testimonial
We would just like to say that the Raleigh House has been such a blessing to our family, especially when we thought we had nowhere else to go for any hope. We understand that timing and desire to change also played a big part, but the type of presentation, program and kindness that The Raleigh House gave, we feel, is what ultimately connected to him where other programs failed. We can’t thank enough everyone that works there for all the effort and help that they offered him and us. We have been and continue to be so taken by your program that we have referred others to bring their loved ones if the timing is appropriate.

Loosen Trauma's Grip on the Present
Loosen Trauma's Grip on the Present
Trauma therapy at The Raleigh House is tailored to what each person is carrying. Here, all therapists are EMDR certified, and this helps the brain process painful memories. They also use cognitive processing therapy and somatic experiencing to release tension the body's held onto for years. Mindfulness adds calm, easing anxiety and helping people feel like themselves again.
Let Nutrition Do Some of the Healing
Let Nutrition Do Some of the Healing
At The Raleigh House, healing starts with what's on the plate. Chronic stress and poor nutrition can disrupt the gut, making it hard for the body to absorb what the brain needs to produce serotonin and feel steady. The right foods help repair that connection and stabilize blood sugar so mood swings ease and clients can think clearer.
Break Through Faster With Equine Therapy
Break Through Faster With Equine Therapy
At The Raleigh House, equine therapy works because horses can't be fooled. They sense fear or a mask of "I'm fine" almost immediately, and they respond honestly. Clients learn to build trust with an animal that won't judge them, and in doing so, often face grief, fear, or trauma faster than they would in a traditional session, while experiencing relief on the other side.
Walk in Scared, Walk Out Someone New
Walk in Scared, Walk Out Someone New
Eric Lapp founded The Ranch after 14 treatment attempts of his own, and he knows firsthand what it feels like to walk into treatment scared. That experience shaped his program built on serious clinical care, master's-level clinicians, and whole body support like nutrition, exercise, and equine therapy.

MEDICATION ASSISTED TREATMENT

Supportive Medication for Recovery

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) is an evidence-based approach that pairs FDA-approved medications with counseling to treat addiction. The medications are used to reduce cravings, ease withdrawal symptoms, or block the effects of substances. More about MAT

This center prescribes medications for opioid use disorder and also accepts patients receiving MAT prescribed elsewhere.

Note: Treatment centers offer different forms of MAT—such as oral tablets, dissolvable films, or monthly injections—and their policies can vary based on state regulations, provider preferences, and insurance coverage. Because of these differences, it's best to contact the center directly to learn what options are available and what might be right for your situation.
