Mental Health and Addiction Treatment In Boulder, CO

“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.

The Recovery Ranch

The Recovery Ranch

Our Recovery Ranch offers an immersive rehab program experience in both holistic healing and in putting your new, healthy life in recovery into practice. With 24-hour support from our compassionate staff, clients reside in one of two of our beautiful, 9-bed homes surrounded by 80 acres of horse-roaming pasture just outside of Boulder, Colorado. 

IOP

Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a type of addiction treatment, along with a variety of other conditions, that allows patients to live at home rather than at a treatment center. This allows patients to still go about their normal, day-to-day lives while getting the support, care, and treatment they need to overcome addiction.

    “The Flatirons team is incredibly engaged with the care they provide in their client’s recoveries. I felt true care and concern for my well-being throughout my time here.”

    “I just wanted to let you and all the gang at Flatirons know with your help I have nearly six months of sobriety. I attend an AA meeting every morning (Zoom to Sobriety) via Boulder’s Alano club. I know you’ve heard many of these stories, but my life has completely changed. I’ve never been happier and my family has been hugely supportive.”

    “Felicity was so helpful. She is a joy to be around and I felt safe with her from our first session. I was able to tell her things I wasn’t able to bring up to previous counselors. I can tell that she preaches in her daily life the principles she teaches.”

    Flatirons has been amazing. The staff goes above and beyond. They truly care about you and your recovery and growth. I’m a combat vet from Oregon with severe PTSD and emotional issues and was a severe alcoholic for the past 12 years. I spent 3 months in their program living at their sober house, and I can proudly say that they have helped me achieve what I once thought was impossible. Which is the loving, caring, and present SOBER husband and father I once was. I owe my life to them.”

  • This place is so inviting and offers really great care. The staff here definitely go above and beyond to support their clients through difficult times. They keep their group sizes small, which helps build community and give individualized care based on each client’s needs. I really like their philosophy that clients aren’t broken or bad people, but innately good, no matter what. You can feel it in the way they care for each individual without judgement.

    -CR

  • This place is truly a diamond in the rough. I could not be more grateful for the program they provide. The amount of wisdom and compassion I received was unparalleled. If you are looking to be treated with dignity, respect, love, and compassion during your treatment experience, this is the place. Every staff member there is willing to share their time with you and keep an open door. Their programming is unique in that it really gets you to look inward, and due to the size, they are really able to offer a personalized experience. Thank you guys, seriously, for everything <3

  • 1 came into this treatment after detox and am so grateful with this decision. The entire staff has been phenomenal on their approach to sharing tools for me to live a more balanced life. I’ve never been treated with this much care, attention, and respect.

    If you are struggling or know someone who is, look no further. This has been such a profound experience!

    -JB

  • Flatirons Recovery is an amazing program that starts with great leadership. There are many addiction treatment centers to choose from, but few go to the lengths Flatirons does to address the co-occurring issues (depression, anxiety, and PTSD) that are crucial to treat during a patient’s early recovery. The talented clinical staff at Flatirons Recovery understands how to see the whole picture, treating their patients’ addiction and mental health concerns.

      As a therapist who has been in the Boulder area for many years, Flatirons Recovery would definitely be my go-to for clients needing a higher level of care for addiction. The mindfulness-based curriculum, as well as the importance they place on a holistic recovery, makes this place truly unique. The space itself is really uplifting, and the staff that I know are both experienced and competent. I highly recommend this center for substance abuse treatment!

    • This place is such a great resource in the community! I’m a therapist in the area and this is definitely my top recommendation for addiction treatment in the Front Range. Their therapists and other staff are really great at what they do, and I appreciate the holistic approach they take to treatment. Their pricing is affordable and they offer scholarships as well, which is really wonderful and hard to find for smaller, boutique treatment centers.
