Boulder Integrated Health, located in bustling Boulder, Colorado, offers
partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive
outpatient (
IOP), and outpatient (OP) programs for those struggling with addiction. They pride themselves on offering a complete continuum of outpatient programs and services for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions, using evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR), as well as experiential therapies and medication-assisted treatment (
MAT).
Each client is assigned a Case Management Team made up of a licensed therapist and a Certified Addictions Counselor. The Case Management Team helps identify the issues in the client’s life, and provides the support and resources that will best support the client to address each issue. The Boulder Integrated Health team works with the client and their family to create an individualized plan. Depending on the individual, the care plan could include referral to a more intensive
residential treatment program, enrollment in an outpatient program, recommendations for legal, vocational, or academic support, recommendations for further therapeutic treatment, or assistance in connecting with a local recovery community.
Boulder Integrated Health uses a wide array of experiential therapies, including equine and animal assisted therapy, yoga, acupuncture, art therapy, and music therapy. Combining evidence-based treatment with an underlying holistic approach, BIH integrates traditional with holistic therapeutic programming to get the most individualized and effective results for patients.
PHP, otherwise known as day treatment, can be a good option for clients who have completed a residential program and would benefit from structured support as they transition into their new lives. This program is for those patients not requiring constant medical monitoring, and who are not at risk for self-harm. The program involves participation of 20+ hours a week, and is the highest level of outpatient programming. Day treatment clients will return home or to a sober living house each night.
Boulder Integrated Health offers a flexible IOP program, designed to support long-term recovery while allowing balance for the demands of school, work, and family. The program involves 10+ hours of treatment a week, with both morning and afternoon options available. Boulder Integrated Health’s IOP program is 90 days in length; clients meet 3 times per week for 3 hours in group therapy, and receive at minimum 1 hour of individual therapy each week.
Boulder Integrated Health’s Outpatient Program includes 1–3 90-minute sessions a week. These sessions can be scheduled as the week progresses, adapting to the client’s changing needs. Treatment consists of counseling, education, and providing a network of support as clients continue on their recovery journey.
