Conditions We Treat at Foundry Front Range
We treat adult substance use disorders and the mental health conditions that so often come with them, at one licensed medical facility in Broomfield. You can verify your insurance benefits before doing anything else.
Some withdrawals are uncomfortable. A few are genuinely dangerous to go through alone, and this page says plainly which ones.
Substance use disorders we treat
Each card flags how much medical risk the withdrawal itself carries. That is the single most useful thing to know before deciding where to get help.
Alcohol use disorder
Alcohol is the substance most likely to make unsupervised withdrawal dangerous. Withdrawal can cause seizures and delirium tremens, which is why alcohol detox belongs in a medical setting rather than at home.
Benzodiazepines and prescription drugs
Benzodiazepine withdrawal can be life-threatening and is one of the few that should never be stopped abruptly without medical support. Tapering is a clinical decision, not a personal one.
Opioids and fentanyl
Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening on its own, but it is intensely physical, and the period right after carries the highest overdose risk because tolerance drops fast. Fentanyl has made that window narrower and less forgiving.
Stimulants: meth and cocaine
Methamphetamine and cocaine withdrawal is not usually medically acute, but it is psychologically brutal. Crash, exhaustion, depression and cravings are what drive people back, which is why structure matters more than medication here.
Cannabis and marijuana
Cannabis use disorder is often dismissed, including by the people living with it. Withdrawal is not dangerous, but sleep disruption, irritability and appetite loss are real and are enough to derail an attempt to stop.
Polysubstance use
Using more than one substance is common, and it changes the clinical picture. Mixed withdrawal, particularly anything involving alcohol or benzodiazepines, needs assessment before anyone decides where treatment should happen.
If you are already in withdrawal
Call (720) 807-7867 and say so. Medical triage happens before anything else. If someone is medically unstable beyond what a detox unit can safely manage, hospital care comes first and we help arrange it.
Mental health conditions we treat alongside substance use
Substance use and mental health conditions travel together often enough that treating one without the other tends to fail. We assess both at intake and build one plan, with a psychiatric assessment and medication management where it helps.
- Depression. Often present before use starts, and almost always worse after withdrawal.
- Anxiety disorders. A frequent driver of alcohol and benzodiazepine use, and a common reason people relapse.
- PTSD and trauma. Addressed through trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR where clinically appropriate.
- Bipolar disorder. Requires careful psychiatric management alongside substance use treatment.

Which level of care your situation points to
A rough orientation, not a diagnosis. A clinical assessment makes the actual call.
| If this describes you | You will likely start at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Daily alcohol or benzodiazepine use, or past withdrawal seizures | Medically supervised detox | Withdrawal carries real medical risk |
| Daily opioid use, including fentanyl | Medically supervised detox | Withdrawal is severe and overdose risk spikes afterward |
| Stimulant use with no physical withdrawal risk | Residential or outpatient, depending on stability | Structure matters more than medical management |
| Substance use plus an untreated mental health condition | Residential with integrated dual diagnosis care | Both need treating in one plan |
| Stable, employed, with a supportive home | Intensive outpatient | Treatment can happen without leaving home |
| Unsure, or someone else is asking on your behalf | A phone assessment | Placement follows the assessment, not the other way round |
Who we can treat
Foundry Front Range treats adults 18 and over for substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Assessment determines clinical fit.
Some situations need a different setting than ours. If someone is medically unstable beyond what a detox unit can safely manage, hospital care comes first, and we help arrange it. Being honest about that on the call saves time and keeps people safe.
Start with a conversation
If you are not sure which of these describes your situation, that is the normal starting point, not a problem. A short call with our admissions team sorts it out. If you are in withdrawal right now, call rather than filling out a form so we can triage you medically.
