Alcohol Addiction Treatment in Colorado Built Around You
When drinking has become the way you cope with stress, pain or anxiety, cutting back on willpower alone rarely lasts. Residential alcohol rehab removes you from the routines and pressures that keep the cycle going. It gives you daily therapy, a sober community and time to rebuild.
At Flatirons Recovery, you live at our Recovery Ranch while working with a clinician-led team that treats your drinking and the mental health concerns underneath it. When you’re ready, you step down to day treatment, outpatient care or sober living without changing teams.
Flatirons Recovery is a leading provider of alcohol rehab in Boulder, Colorado, offering a holistic, evidence-based approach to addiction treatment. Located in Boulder’s serene landscape, just a short drive from Denver, our center serves clients seeking personalized, trauma-informed care.
We believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and spirit by addressing not just the symptoms of addiction but also its root causes. Our dedicated team helps clients achieve sustainable recovery and renewed purpose by focusing on small group sizes and community-oriented support.
Is Alcohol Rehab Right for You?
Residential care is usually the right first step if any of these sound familiar:
- You have tried to cut back or quit and could not stay stopped
- You drink to get through the day, or to manage anxiety, depression or trauma
- You get shaky, sweaty, anxious or sick when you stop drinking
- Drinking is hurting your work, relationships, health or legal standing
- Your home or social life makes it hard to stay sober
- Outpatient treatment has not been enough in the past
Not sure which level of care fits? Our free, confidential assessment will tell you. If outpatient care is a better fit, we will say so.

The Ranch, Detox and Step-Down Care
Clients live in one of two renovated nine-bed homes on an 80-acre horse farm just outside Boulder. There are walking and running trails, a fishing lake and horses roaming the pasture. Staff are available 24 hours a day. With nine people per home, groups stay small and everyone is known by name.
Starting With Detox
If you need to detox from alcohol, do not stop drinking on your own; alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous. We do not provide on-site medical detox. Our admissions team arranges a stay with a trusted medical detox partner and coordinates a direct transfer to the ranch when you are medically stable. Link: How detox works with us
After the Ranch: Stepping Down
Recovery doesn’t stop when residential care ends. Most clients step down through our other levels of care with the same clinical team:
- Partial Hospitalization (PHP): full-day treatment, Monday to Friday
- Intensive Outpatient (IOP) or Evening IOP: treatment around work and family
- Sober Living: a structured, sober home on the same 80-acre property
- Aftercare: alumni connections, community events and ongoing check-ins
