What is dual diagnosis treatment?
Dual diagnosis treatment, also called co-occurring treatment, addresses a substance use disorder and a mental health condition at the same time, in one coordinated plan. Treating both together, rather than separately, is the approach SAMHSA recommends for co-occurring disorders.
At Foundry Front Range, psychiatry, nursing, therapists, and case managers work from a single plan so your medical care and your mental health care reinforce each other. Care is built on our Trauma-Integrated Care model, which recognizes how often unresolved trauma drives substance use.
Our levels of care for co-occurring disorders
Foundry delivers a connected continuum, so you move safely from medical stabilization into ongoing treatment without gaps in care. ASAM refers to the American Society of Addiction Medicine levels of care, which describe the intensity, staffing, and goals of each stage.
Medically Supervised Detox
Physician and nursing oversight for safe withdrawal and medical stabilization before deeper therapy begins.
Residential Treatment
Structured 24/7 care with individual and group therapy, psychiatry, and integrated co-occurring support.
IOP & Virtual IOP
Regular group and individual therapy with flexible hours, in person or by secure telehealth across Colorado.
| Level of care | Goal | Typical staffing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASAM 3.7 detox | Safe withdrawal and medical stabilization | Physician and nursing oversight | For acute withdrawal or higher medical risk |
| ASAM 3.5 residential | Intensive therapy and integrated mental-health care | Psychiatry, nursing, and therapists | Structured living with co-occurring care |
| Inpatient treatment | Structured, higher-acuity clinical care | Medical and clinical team | 24/7 residential support |
| Intensive outpatient (IOP) | Regular group and individual therapy | Therapists and case managers | Flexible hours for work or school |
| Virtual IOP | IOP delivered by secure telehealth | Therapists and case managers | Accessible across Colorado |
Level-of-care placement is determined clinically based on individual need.

Explore what we treat
Integrated dual diagnosis and mental health care
When substance use and mental health are treated together, your care is coordinated from day one rather than split across separate providers. Integrated care means unified treatment goals, coordinated medication decisions, and one safety plan that follows you from detox into residential care.
Medication management is directed by our clinical team and balanced carefully against withdrawal and interaction risks, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when clinically appropriate.
Trauma-Integrated Care & the Michael Barnes Family Institute
Our Trauma-Integrated Care model, developed by Dr. Michael Barnes, reinforces trauma-focused clinical work throughout treatment. The Michael Barnes Family Institute helps families understand addiction and rebuild recovery-supportive home environments when that supports recovery.
