About Denver Springs

Denver Springs is a hospital-based behavioral health facility located at 8835 American Way in Englewood, Colorado, serving the greater Denver area. Operating as part of the LifePoint Health network, it provides both mental health services and addiction treatment in inpatient and outpatient settings, with 24/7 availability for those seeking immediate help for substance use or psychiatric crises.

The facility offers four distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and intensive outpatient (IOP). Medical detox is available for individuals requiring supervised withdrawal management, making Denver Springs one of the more comprehensive options in the Englewood area for those who need clinical support at the earliest and most physically demanding stage of addiction treatment. Residential treatment provides a structured inpatient environment following detox, while IOP allows patients to step down to community-based care as recovery progresses.

Clinical treatment at Denver Springs incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed treatment, and medication management. The facility also addresses co-occurring disorders — treating conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, psychosis, and suicidal ideation alongside addiction. Purposefully designed therapeutic spaces, activity-based therapy rooms, peaceful outdoor courtyards, and welcoming communal areas support the treatment environment.

Denver Springs serves a broad range of populations, with specific programming considerations for veterans, active duty military, first responders, young adults ages 18–25, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. Payment options include Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and self-pay. Alumni support is available after discharge. The facility can be reached at (720) 643-4300 and is open around the clock for admissions inquiries.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management at Denver Springs

Denver Springs provides medical detox as the entry point for patients whose substance use requires clinical supervision during withdrawal. As a hospital program operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the facility is equipped to manage withdrawal in a medically monitored environment — a critical distinction for individuals dealing with alcohol addiction or drug addiction where unsupervised withdrawal carries significant risk.

Following medical detox, patients can transition directly into residential treatment on-site, allowing for clinical continuity without the disruption of transferring to a separate facility. This integrated structure — detox into residential into outpatient — gives patients and families a clear, sequential path through the earliest stages of treatment without having to navigate multiple providers or locations.

Addiction Treatment Programs and Levels of Care

The detox and treatment programs at Denver Springs span four levels: medical detox, residential treatment, outpatient program, and intensive outpatient (IOP). This continuum allows the clinical team to match a patient's level of need to the appropriate setting — from 24/7 inpatient medical supervision to structured outpatient programming that supports a return to daily responsibilities.

Intensive outpatient programming offers a middle ground for individuals who have completed inpatient detox or residential care but still require frequent clinical contact. IOP typically involves multiple sessions per week, supporting the transition from a controlled inpatient environment back to everyday life while maintaining therapeutic momentum.

Co-Occurring Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Treatment

A significant portion of individuals seeking addiction treatment also carry a concurrent psychiatric diagnosis. Denver Springs directly addresses this reality, treating co-occurring disorders across a wide range of conditions — including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, psychosis, and suicidal ideation. Treating both the substance use and the underlying or accompanying mental health condition simultaneously is central to the facility's clinical model.

Therapeutic methods confirmed at the facility include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed treatment, and medication management. DBT in particular is a structured approach with documented application for borderline personality disorder and chronic suicidal ideation — populations Denver Springs explicitly serves. Medication management supports both psychiatric stabilization and the withdrawal management process during detox.
