Inpatient Treatment Program

Our inpatient treatment program for addiction provides a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment and comprehensive care. Also known as residential treatment, inpatient treatment offers numerous benefits that can make treatment more effective and reduce the need for future inpatient episodes.

We offer gender-specific treatment programs for adult men and women. These programs offer gender-informed programming and are housed in separate wings of our residential treatment center.

What is inpatient treatment for drug and alcohol addiction?

Inpatient treatment is when clients live at a treatment facility while receiving care. Inpatient (or residential) treatment facilities combine living accommodations and clinical environments so that clients do not have to leave the facility during treatment.

Foundry Front Range offers inpatient treatment in a modern, beautiful facility where clients live comfortably while engaging in comprehensive treatment surrounded by skilled team members and supportive peers.

What are the advantages of inpatient addiction treatment?

A Recovery-Supportive Environment

Residential programs are safe, supervised facilities free from substances and designed to promote healing, learning, and wellness. Inpatient recovery programming makes it easier for clients to remain substance-free during treatment and reduces triggers that can lead to relapse. In some cases, a client’s home environment, social group, or workplace can be the source of stress or promote substance misuse. Inpatient treatment programs eliminate these stresses and allow clients to focus exclusively on their recovery.

Connected Detoxification & Residential Treatment

Foundry Front Range offers medically supervised detoxification and residential treatment in one inpatient facility, allowing clients to seamlessly transition from one stage of treatment to the next. Beginning residential treatment immediately after detoxification significantly improves treatment outcomes.

Treatment Team Access & Oversight

Residential treatment programs allow clients and clinicians to interact more regularly and frequently than outpatient treatment programs. More interactions between clients and care team members increase opportunities to identify and meet needs, discover helpful insights, and have meaningful conversations.

Peer Interaction & Support

Residential treatment programs offer clients the opportunity to meet and learn from people with similar life experiences and to establish lasting relationships. People have often formed life-long friendships with people they meet in residential recovery programs. Getting to know others committed to recovery can provide sources of mutual support.

Greater Treatment Productivity

Inpatient treatment allows clients to accomplish more treatment programming each day. Maximizing every day of a residential treatment episode can make a vital difference in outcomes. Residential program schedules can include more time for clinical therapy, family programming, psychoeducation, nursing and medication management, recovery-informed recreational activities, and more. Simply put, you can get more treatment accomplished when you live at the treatment facility.

Nutrition and Fitness Support

Substance use disorders often lead to poor nutritional habits, disordered eating, and poor physical health. Residential programs can provide high-quality nutrition and dietary counseling needed to restore physical health and teach clients how to eat more healthily. On-site supervised fitness centers allow clients to rebuild their bodies safely and may be able to identify and treat underlying sources of chronic pain through exercise.

Medical Prescribing and Optimization

When patients who use medications to control the symptoms of mental health disorders, reduce cravings, or manage other medical conditions are under the close supervision of prescribers, they have a better chance to optimize their medication regimen. The ability to meet with psychiatric prescribers and nurses easily and frequently allows a medication plan to be optimized during the treatment stay, improving the benefits of medication while reducing risks before a client leaves the residential care setting.

Facilitated Family Involvement

Family programming, which typically includes education and counseling, is part of a comprehensive recovery program. Families often play essential roles in the wellness of their members. Dysfunctional family systems may be part of the reason that individuals use substances, yet families can also be the greatest supporters of their loved one’s successful recovery. Trained family therapists can help clients and their family members determine how to facilitate lasting recovery or make decisions that are in the best interest of all family members.

Convenience

Inpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs are more convenient than outpatient programs for many people. While committing to a residential level of care requires time away from work, family, and other obligations, it eliminates the need to travel to and from treatment appointments and puts all aspects of treatment in the same physical environment.

Conditions Treated

We are a licensed behavioral healthcare provider offering evidence-based treatment for adult substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders.

Alcohol Use Disorder (Alcoholism)

Alcohol claims the lives of more people annually than any other substance. We are experts at helping people safely stop drinking alcohol and engaging in a comprehensive program of therapies to achieve sobriety and recovery.

Heroin Addiction & Opioid Use Disorder

Heroin, fentanyl, and other opioid addictions remain at epidemic levels. We offer comprehensive therapy, psychiatric prescribing, and anti-craving medication.

Dual-Diagnosis Disorders

Substance Use and Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders are also known as Dual-Diagnosis Disorders. It is very common for addiction to involve anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar personality disorder, psychosis, and other mental health disorders. Treating both conditions effectively is vital.

Methamphetamine Addiction & Stimulant Use Disorder

Stimulant overdose is a growing problem, especially as the supply is adulterated with fentanyl or other opioids. We offer extensive experience helping people experiencing methamphetamine and stimulant use disorder.

Benzodiazepine Addiction

Benzodiazepines like Alprazolam (Xanax®),
Clonazepam (Klonopin®), Diazepam (Valium®), and Lorazepam (Ativan®) are medications typically used to treat anxiety but are often misused. Because suddenly stopping the use of benzodiazepines can be fatal, carefully supervised detoxification is needed.

Cannabis Use Disorder

Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) is a growing problem nationwide. Studies indicate increasing rates of cannabis use disorder following teh legalization and commercialization of cannabis in recent years. Cannabis Use Disorder poses unique health challenges, including hyperemesis, psychosis, paranoia, and heart-health risks. A significant stabilization period may be required before clients with CUD are stable enough to engage in treatment programming. Foundry Front Range has specialized expertise in treating Cannabis Use Disorder.

Co-Occurring Mental Health Disorders

Substance Use Disorders are very often accompanied by mental health disorders (so-called co-occurring mental health disorders). Clients may have mental health disorders before developing a substance use disorder, or they may develop mental illness resulting from substance use disorders. Some common co-occurring mental health disorders include anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, psychosis, oppositional defiance, anger, and guilt and shame. Individuals may also experience cognitive or thought disorders, which can be diagnosed through specialized screening.

Trauma and PTSD

Trauma and addictive disorders are inextricably linked. Whether someone has experienced an adverse childhood event (ACE) or traumatizing life events during adulthood, the symptoms of trauma can create a perceived need to self-medicate with alcohol or drugs. In most cases, trauma must be resolved or processed before clients are able to benefit from addiction treatment and achieve recovery.

Family System Dysfunction

Families are complex social units that may be sources of beliefs, stresses, and other factors that can lead to the development of addiction and mental health disorders. Studies also indicate that genetic inheritance can predispose individuals to addiction or mental illness. For this reason, getting a thorough family history can be helpful in assessing client needs.

Specialized Care Model

Our Trauma-Integrated Care Model — Making Inpatient Treatment More Effective

Our Trauma-Integrated Care Model was developed by Chief Clinical Advisor Michael Barnes, PhD, using more than forty years of direct care and research experience. Trauma-Integrated Care centers on the role that trauma plays in the development and perpetuation of substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Traumatic life experiences can have cascading negative impacts, including an inability to experience emotions, damaged relationships, excessive stress, depression, hypervigilance, and more. People with unaddressed and unresolved trauma can feel the need to self-medicate their symptoms with substances like drugs and alcohol or engage in other damaging behaviors. Additionally, living with active addiction exposes people to a greater risk of trauma.

The Trauma-Integrated Care Model goes further than conventional trauma-informed models of care by designing the entire treatment episode around emotional safety and reduction and resolution of trauma symptoms. Team members are specially trained to support clients experiencing traumatic stress, family education is provided, and sophisticated trauma therapies are used as a normal course of treatment at Foundry Front Range.

Inpatient Dining & Nutrition

FOOD PREPERATION

Nutrition plays an important role in recovery. Living with active substance use disorders can deplete the body of vital nutrients, upset one’s metabolism, and lead to malnutrition. Learning to eat a healthy, balanced diet and rebuild a healthy relationship with food can bolster health and support recovery.

Foundry Front Range clients receive healthy and delicious meals and snacks prepared by professional chefs and informed by nutritional experts. We believe that good nutrition and a balanced diet are essential to building a healthy body and teaching clients how to support their ongoing well-being in recovery. Special diets can be accommodated with advanced notice. Meals are typically eaten together in the dining room, though clients may choose to dine privately.
