Comprehensive Treatment Programs in Denver, CO

NorthStar Transitions offers a complete spectrum of addiction treatment services designed to meet clients at any stage of recovery.

The residential program provides structured, 24-hour care in a supportive environment where clients can focus entirely on recovery.

For those requiring less intensive care, NorthStar offers a Day Treatment Program (Partial Hospitalization Program), where clients receive comprehensive treatment during the day while returning home in the evenings. Right here in Denver, clients can access their Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) which provides a flexible option for those transitioning from higher levels of care or seeking treatment while maintaining work or school commitments. The standard Outpatient Program offers ongoing support for maintaining long-term sobriety.

Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches

Treatment at NorthStar Transitions is grounded in proven therapeutic modalities designed to address the complex nature of addiction. Their clinical team utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change negative thought patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotional regulation and distress tolerance skills essential for recovery.

Somatic therapy addresses how trauma affects the body, while experiential therapies offer healing through activities rather than traditional talk therapy. Drawing from Colorado's natural surroundings, the center integrates mindfulness practices to help clients develop present-moment awareness. Life skills training prepares individuals for successful independent living after treatment. For many clients, 12-Step facilitation provides a framework for ongoing recovery support.
