ALCOHOL ADDICTION TREATMENT IN DENVER, CO

Alcohol addiction treatment in Denver is a structured, clinically guided process that helps individuals safely stop drinking and build lasting recovery skills. At True North Recovery Services, treatment is personalized — meaning your plan is built around your history, goals, and life situation. Programs may include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Active Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Trailhead IOP, or a standard Outpatient Program, combined with evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), somatic therapy, and exercise physiology. Our approach treats the whole person — not just the drinking.

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a medical diagnosis — not a character flaw. The clearest sign is attempting to stop drinking and being unable to, or finding it extremely difficult. Other indicators include drinking more than intended, neglecting responsibilities, continuing to drink despite physical or relationship consequences, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms like sweating, nausea, insomnia, or irritability when you stop. If you recognize any of these patterns, a clinical assessment at True North Recovery Services can help you understand the level of care you need. You can call us at (720) 271-3639, seven days a week.

Not everyone requires medical detox, but for individuals with severe or long-term alcohol dependence, medically supervised detoxification is strongly recommended — and in some cases, life-saving. Alcohol withdrawal can produce dangerous symptoms including seizures and hallucinations. True North Recovery Services can help you determine whether detox is necessary during your initial assessment and, if needed, can connect you with a trusted medical detox provider before you begin our outpatient or PHP programming. Do not attempt to stop heavy alcohol use abruptly without medical guidance.

These three levels of care differ in intensity and structure. A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is the highest level of outpatient care, typically involving structured programming five or more days per week — suited for those who need significant daily support but do not require overnight residential care. An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) involves multiple sessions per week and is designed for people who need more support than traditional therapy but can live at home. A standard Outpatient Program offers flexible, less frequent sessions ideal for those stepping down from higher levels of care or managing early-stage alcohol use. True North Recovery Services offers all three levels, and our clinical team will recommend the right fit based on your assessment.

Yes. True North Recovery Services accepts most major insurance plans. Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, insurers are required to cover substance use disorder treatment comparably to other medical conditions.

We’re available seven days a week.

Yes, in most cases. True North Recovery Services offers flexible outpatient and IOP scheduling specifically designed so clients can maintain work, school, and family responsibilities while receiving structured treatment. This is one of the core advantages of outpatient-based alcohol rehab: you get clinical care without putting your life on hold. For clients in PHP who need more hours of programming, our team will work with you on scheduling. Recovery doesn’t have to mean walking away from everything

Yes. It is extremely common for alcohol use disorder to coexist with anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, or OCD — a clinical reality known as dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders. True North Recovery Services provides integrated treatment for both conditions simultaneously. Treating only the addiction without addressing the underlying mental health condition — or vice versa — significantly increases the risk of relapse. Our clinical team is experienced in identifying and treating co-occurring disorders as part of your personalized recovery plan.

The duration of treatment is individual and depends on the severity of your alcohol use disorder, your mental health history, and your response to treatment. At True North, clients in an IOP program typically engage in several weeks of structured sessions, while PHP programs are more intensive over a shorter concentrated period. Outpatient treatment may continue for months as a maintenance and relapse prevention measure. Recovery is not a fixed timeline — our team continually reassesses your progress and adjusts your plan accordingly to support long-term sobriety, not just short-term stabilization.
