A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is full-day, structured treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions where you attend care during the day and go home at night. At Foundry Front Range, PHP sits between inpatient care and outpatient services, delivered in our licensed medical facility in Broomfield. We accept Colorado Medicaid Regions 1, 2, 3 & 4 and work with most major insurance plans. A free benefits check is the fastest way to see what your plan covers.

What to expect in PHP
PHP gives you a full clinical day of therapy, medical oversight, and planning, then lets you sleep at home.
Each day combines group and individual work with medical and psychiatric support.
Daily therapy blocks: group and individual sessions focused on coping skills, relapse prevention, and trauma-informed care.
Medical and psychiatric oversight: psychiatric evaluation and medication management as clinically needed.
Care coordination: discharge planning and connection to your next level of care.
Is PHP right for you?
PHP fits adults who need more structure than outpatient care but don’t need to stay overnight. Our admissions team confirms the right level of care after an assessment.
Full-day structure: you need structured, full-day care and can safely return home each night.
Integrated care: you have substance use and co-occurring mental health needs you want treated together.
Stepping down or up: you’re stepping down from detox or inpatient care, or stepping up from outpatient treatment.
Levels of care compared
Foundry offers a continuum of care, so you can move up or down as your needs change without starting over somewhere new.
| Level of care | Setting | Medical oversight | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Medically supervised detox (ASAM 3.7) | Inpatient, licensed medical facility | Around-the-clock medical monitoring | Safe withdrawal before further treatment |
| Residential (ASAM 3.5) | Live-in | 24/7 structure and support | People who need a stable, round-the-clock setting |
| Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) | Full-day program; home at night | Daily medical and psychiatric support | Daily structure without an overnight stay |
| Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) | Part-day sessions, several days a week | Scheduled clinical check-ins | Treatment alongside work, school, or family |
| Virtual IOP | Telehealth | Remote clinical oversight | When travel or in-person attendance is a barrier |
ASAM = American Society of Addiction Medicine, whose criteria define levels of addiction care.

What we treat in PHP
Our PHP treats adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Care is delivered in a licensed, medically supervised setting.
Substance use disorders
Alcohol, opioids including fentanyl and heroin, stimulants such as meth and cocaine, benzodiazepines, prescription drugs, and marijuana.
Co-occurring mental health conditions
Depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar-spectrum disorders.
Who PHP is not for
People who need 24-hour monitoring: detox, inpatient, or residential care is a better fit, and our team can arrange it. Anyone under 18: this campus serves adults only.
Explore conditions we treat
Integrated dual diagnosis care
Addiction and mental health conditions often feed each other, so we treat them together in one plan. Your psychiatric care and therapy are coordinated by the same team, which helps you build steadier footing as you move toward outpatient care.
Trauma-Integrated Care
Our clinical approach is shaped by the Trauma-Integrated Care model, developed by Dr. Michael Barnes, which recognizes how past trauma can drive substance use and builds that understanding into every part of treatment.
Common co-occurring presentations we see
Anxiety and substance use
Depression and substance use
PTSD and substance use
Bipolar disorder and substance use

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and trauma-informed therapy: addresses trauma that can fuel cravings and relapse.

- Medical and psychiatric evaluation. A medical provider reviews your health and current medications.
- Your treatment plan. Your care team builds an individualized plan and walks you through the daily schedule.
- Ongoing review. Your team checks progress regularly and adjusts the plan with you. With your consent, family members can join sessions.
- Planning your next step. Discharge planning starts early, whether you step down to IOP or outpatient care or need a higher level of care.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between PHP and IOP?
PHP is full-day treatment most days of the week, with daily medical and psychiatric support. IOP meets for fewer hours across several days a week, so it fits around work, school, or family. Many people step down from PHP to IOP as they stabilize.
Does Medicaid cover partial hospitalization?
Foundry Front Range accepts Colorado Medicaid Regions 1, 2, 3 & 4. Whether PHP is covered depends on your plan and medical necessity, so the fastest answer is a free benefits check with our admissions team.
How much does PHP cost?
Your cost depends on your insurance, deductible, and any copays. We don’t publish set prices because coverage varies so much from plan to plan. A free benefits check shows what your plan covers before you start.
How long does a partial hospitalization program last?
Length depends on your clinical needs and progress, not a fixed number of days. Your care team reviews your progress regularly and helps you plan the step down to IOP or outpatient care when you’re ready.
Do I need to go through detox before PHP?
Not always. If you’re at risk of withdrawal, medically supervised detox comes first so you can stabilize safely. Our clinical assessment determines whether you should start in detox, residential care, or PHP.
Can I go home at night during PHP?
Yes. PHP is a day program, so you attend treatment during the day and return home each evening. If you need overnight support, our team can discuss inpatient or residential options.
What should I bring to my first day?
Bring your insurance card, a photo ID, and a current list of your medications. Admissions will tell you anything else your plan or the program needs before your start date.
