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. :)

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.

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. Brooke 🫶💛

Flatirons Recovery is an excellent choice for anybody seeking addiction recovery and mental health services. They have created a truly welcoming and non-judgmental space for healing. They openly demonstrate the power of mindfulness and inclusion through their thoughtful PHP and evening IOP programs and excellent therapy services. The entire team is incredibly dedicated, and it's clear that they are passionate about helping people build a foundation for lasting recovery. You can feel their commitment to patient-centered care in everything they do! Highly recommend this incredible organization to anyone looking for support! 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!

A phenomenal program with multiple levels of care treating the core issues of clients. Incredibly well versed team of clinicians and leaders.

A Mindful Approach to Lasting Change

When life feels overwhelming, it can be difficult to recognize what you need or respond in ways that support your well-being. Mindfulness creates space to notice your thoughts, emotions, and physical experiences with greater awareness and less judgment.

At Flatirons Recovery, mindfulness is woven into the treatment experience. Alongside individual and group therapy, you’ll practice skills that help you navigate discomfort, reconnect with yourself, and become more intentional in everyday life.

Understand Your Patterns

Explore the situations, emotions, and relationships connected to substance use. With your treatment team, you can begin recognizing familiar reactions and identifying opportunities to respond differently.

Practice Skills for Everyday Life

Recovery skills need to work beyond a therapy session. Treatment helps you develop practical ways to manage stress, communicate your needs, set boundaries, and move through challenging moments.

Build Connection and Community

Sharing space with others can make recovery feel less isolating. Our small treatment settings encourage meaningful relationships, honest conversations, and opportunities to give and receive support.

Understanding Holistic Rehab in Boulder, Colorado

What Your Treatment Experience Can Include

Your experience at Flatirons Recovery depends on your level of care and individual treatment plan. Across our programs, we combine therapeutic support with opportunities to build confidence, connection, and healthier routines.

Individual Therapy

Work one-on-one with a clinician to explore personal concerns, clarify your goals, and address challenges that may be difficult to discuss in a group. These conversations help shape care around your experiences.

Group Therapy

Practice communication, explore shared challenges, and learn alongside others. Facilitated groups offer space to develop insight and strengthen skills you can use in relationships, work, and daily life.

Trauma-Informed Care

Our approach recognizes that past experiences can influence how you feel, relate to others, and respond to stress. We emphasize respect, collaboration, and an appropriate pace as you engage in treatment.

Experiential Therapy

Some things are easier to explore when you’re out on a trail or working with a horse. Alongside talk therapy, we offer hiking and equine therapy as opportunities to practice being present, notice how you respond to challenges, and build confidence through experience. Once a month, we also offer a sound bath, a quiet session where you can slow down and listen to the sounds and vibrations around you.

Medication Support When Appropriate

Medication-assisted treatment may be part of your care when clinically appropriate. Your team can discuss available options and how medication may support your broader recovery goals.

Planning for Life Beyond Treatment

From the beginning, we help you consider the support you’ll need after your current program. That may include continued therapy, a different level of care, sober living, or connections within your community.

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

– John Mark Green

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. It may feel as though these dark waters—slowly seeping into each and every pore—are all that is left.

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 would be honored to be a guide through addiction recovery for you or your loved one who is struggling.

We aren’t here to fix you, because you’re not broken. You’re not broken, but you are hurting. And that’s why we’re here. To walk with you, side by side, helping you to reconnect with that healing inner light.

Support for Families and Loved Ones

When someone you love is struggling with addiction, knowing how to help can feel complicated. You may be balancing concern, frustration, hope, and questions about your own boundaries.

Flatirons Recovery offers family support programming, including a free virtual group for loved ones. These resources create opportunities to better understand recovery, connect with others, and consider your own needs alongside those of the person you care about.

With the client’s consent and when clinically appropriate, family involvement can also support communication and planning during treatment. Our team can explain the available options and help you understand how to participate.

FAQs About Our Mental Health and Addiction Treatment in Boulder

People often have practical questions before they are ready to call. Here are honest answers to what we hear most often.

How does the admissions process work at Flatirons Recovery?

You call or contact us, and we handle the rest from there. Our admissions team walks you through a confidential assessment, verifies your insurance, and helps you understand which level of care fits your situation.

Does Flatirons Recovery offer detox services?

We do not provide on-site medical detox, but we work with trusted detox partners to ensure a safe transition into our programs. Our team coordinates that handoff directly so clients are not navigating it alone.

What role can family members play during treatment?

Family involvement is part of how we approach recovery here. We offer family support programming because the relationships around someone in treatment often need attention alongside the individual work.

How is Flatirons Recovery different from a 12-step program?

Our curriculum is mindfulness-based rather than 12-step, though we respect that path for those it serves. We focus on building self-awareness, emotional regulation, and practical life skills through evidence-based therapies in a small, intimate setting.

What happens after someone completes a program at Flatirons Recovery?

Aftercare planning is part of treatment from early on, not an afterthought at the end. Clients leave with a specific plan that may include continued outpatient support, peer connections, and ongoing clinical check-ins.
