Mental Health & Addiction Treatment in Boulder

You are not the darkness you endured. You are the light that refused to surrender.

John Mark Green

Before you go any further

Right now, light may feel like a distant ripple, a mirage on the surface so far above the sea into which you find yourself sinking.

But you are here. You are here, on this page, because there is a flame within you that refuses to die.

This is the flame that will heal you. You have all the wisdom, strength, and courage within you to make this journey. But every now and again, we all need a little help.

We aren’t here to fix you, because you’re not broken. You’re hurting — and we’re here to walk with you.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was supposed to be here for 30 days, I ended up staying for 4 months. It was by far the best investment in myself that I’ve ever made in my life. I came in for pure mental health (Self Harm and SI) and the therapists and my peers here really helped sort me out. I came in hopeless and now having left I’m filled with hope, and a trust and belief in my resilience and skills to cope. A special shoutout to Justin and Darrin, as they’re truly some of the best therapists I’ve ever met and their groups here are fantastic. A very very caring, wholesome, authentic, and supportive environment which was clear even from my very first communications with Mark and their intake staff. I want to be involved with Flatirons recovery for a long time into the future. To the person reading this, you are not alone, there is hope, and you deserve help. I didn’t believe these things for a while and I was pleasantly proved wrong when I came to Flatirons. I can’t recommend it highly enough. Thanks Flatirons, I appreciate it. :)

I truly believe in what Flatirons does and would recommend them to anyone looking for help.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This facility ended up not being a fit for what we needed but the owner was so kind in taking time out of his day to make other suggestions for what my family member needed.  They really want to help people.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot express the depth of my gratitude for Flatirons Recovery.
In just three months of virtual treatment, I grew more than I had in twenty-five years of off-and-on counseling—
a kind of growth that feels like light finally reaching places long in shadow.

From the very beginning, Don and Jaread welcomed me with warmth,
their presence steadying the ground beneath my feet.
And then came Megan—
a counselor whose gift is not only in her skill,
but in the way she listens, truly listens—
honoring my needs, offering tools,
guiding me gently toward a version of myself I had almost forgotten I could be.

The people I met in our virtual group carved their names into my memory,
each one leaving an imprint,
each conversation becoming part of my healing.
The lessons we shared, the support we exchanged—
I will carry those with me for the rest of my life.

Flatirons Recovery gave me the skills, the strength,
and the courage to transform—
to rise into someone clearer, steadier, and whole.

From the deepest part of my heart,
thank you.

PS - I also recommend their free Recovery Wellness Hour for anybody interested! (Every Monday, 5:30 to 7:30). I had a wonderful time trying Acu-Detox for the first time!

Holistic Recovery

Our holistic approach to addiction & mental health treatment in Boulder, CO.

Hover over or tap each image to explore the six parts of holistic recovery at Flatirons.

What is holistic recovery?

Explore the six pillars

Mindfulness

Finding peace in the present moment by making friends with your experience, just as it is.

Our curriculum’s foundation of mindfulness and meditative practices is one-of-a-kind. From our serene location to our experiential activities, we utilize every opportunity to invite clients into the here and now.

Nature-Based Fitness

Connecting to the healing power of the Rocky Mountains with adventure-based programming.

Nature-based programming includes hiking, fishing, paddle boarding and rock climbing. Our clients participate in movement activities on a daily basis as well as have full access to a gym and pool.

Nutrition

Developing awareness of the ways in which food impacts our mental and emotional health,

and using that insight to create lasting healthy habits. Our programming includes nutritional counseling, growing vegetables in our garden, cooking nightly community dinners, and meal planning.

Deeper Healing

Understanding and recovering from the wounds underlying addiction and mental health disorders.

We view addiction as a way to cope with deeper pain. With trauma-informed, dual diagnosis care, clients are invited, though never forced, to explore the roots of their suffering through trauma therapies such as EMDR.

Integrative Medicine

Finding harmony in traditional and natural approaches to wellness.

We offer both psychiatric medication management as well as alternative medicine such as acupuncture, amino acid balancing, aromatherapy, and yoga to approach healing from all angles.

Community

The beginnings of lifelong friendships and finding a place in the recovery community.

We believe that “the opposite of addiction is connection.”^* Our small, intimate program fosters close bonds, and our “out in the world” approach connects our clients to the larger sober community, giving experiences of fun without substances. *Johann Hari
