At Foundry Front Range, we provide medically supervised residential addiction treatment for adults across the Denver metro area. Our licensed facility in nearby Broomfield brings detox, mental health care, and daily therapy under one roof. Care is open to both commercially insured and Health First Colorado (Medicaid) members.
What is residential addiction treatment?
Residential addiction treatment is live-in care where you stay on-site with 24/7 clinical support while you focus fully on recovery. It sits at ASAM Level 3.5, more structured than outpatient care, and designed for people who need to step away from daily triggers to stabilize.
A residential stay often begins with medically supervised detox (ASAM 3.7) to manage withdrawal safely. From there, you move into daily therapy, psychiatric care, and skill-building. Because you live where you’re treated, your care team can adjust your care quickly..
Residential care is generally a good fit for adults with a significant substance use history, prior relapse, an unstable or unsafe home environment, or co-occurring mental health conditions that make recovery at home difficult.
Benefits of residential treatment
Residential care can offer advantages that part-time programs may not, especially early in recovery.
24/7 medical and clinical supervision to manage withdrawal and keep you safe.
Distance from everyday triggers, so your energy goes toward recovery rather than managing daily stressors.
Integrated care for co-occurring conditions, addiction and mental health treated together, not separately.
Structured daily therapy that builds coping and relapse-prevention skills through repetition.
Family involvement through our family programming, when clinically appropriate.
Coordinated step-down planning so the move to outpatient care is gradual, not abrupt.
Our levels of care
We provide a connected continuum, so your level of support can rise or step down as your needs change.
Medically Supervised Detox
Physician-led withdrawal management with 24/7 nursing, medication support when clinically indicated, and psychiatric triage.
Residential Treatment
Our primary program: daily individual and group therapy, on-site psychiatric care, medication management, and discharge planning.
IOP & Virtual IOP
Options that keep clinical support in place as you return to work, school, or family life.
Your care team helps determine the right starting level and coordinates any step-down. If a partial-hospitalization (PHP) level of care is clinically indicated, our team will discuss appropriate options with you.

Residential vs PHP vs IOP
These levels differ mainly in how much structure they provide and whether you live on-site. The right one depends on clinical need, safety, and your home environment.
| Level of care | Where you stay | Typical schedule | Typical length | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential (ASAM 3.5) | Live on-site, 24/7 | Full-day structured programming | Often ~30–90 days, individualized | Higher acuity, unsafe home setting, co-occurring needs |
| PHP (day treatment) | Live at home or sober living | ~5–6 days/week, ~6 hrs/day | Several weeks | Needs high structure but is medically stable |
| IOP | Live at home | ~3 days/week, ~3 hrs/session | ~6–12 weeks typical | Stepping down, keeping work/school/family |
Length of stay is always clinically guided and depends on your progress, needs, and coverage authorization; the ranges above are general and not a promise of any specific timeline or result.
Conditions and substances we treat
Our residential program treats a range of substance use disorders and the mental health conditions that often accompany them.
Substances
- Alcohol use disorder
- Cannabis / marijuana use disorder
- Opioid, stimulant, benzodiazepine & polysubstance
Co-occurring mental health conditions
We treat conditions such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder alongside addiction, because treating them together can lower relapse risk and support recovery.
Integrated dual diagnosis & Trauma-Integrated Care
Many people arrive with both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition. We assess both at intake and build one treatment plan, so your medical, psychiatric, and therapy care stays coordinated.
Trauma-Integrated Care & the Michael Barnes Family Institute
Our proprietary Trauma-Integrated Care model recognizes how often unresolved trauma drives substance use, and our Michael Barnes Family Institute programming helps families understand addiction and rebuild recovery-supportive home environments.

What to expect — admissions and your first week
Many people can start same day or within 24–48 hours, depending on clinical fit and coverage.
- Call or verify insurance. A short, confidential conversation about recent use, medical and mental health history, and safety, plus a Verification of Benefits (VOB).
- Intake and ASAM assessment. A structured clinical interview, psychiatric evaluation, and nursing assessment to confirm the right level of care.
- Your treatment plan. Your team builds an individualized plan with clear goals, including a medication plan if appropriate.
