At the heart of our rehabilitation programs is clinical excellence. We provide a range of therapies, clinical direction, and daily detailed clinical meetings to establish each client's progress and current struggles.
Mental health is a huge component of treatment at Footprints. Not only are alcohol and substance use disorders categorized as a mental health disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders, but of the 20.3 million adults with substance use disorders, almost 38% also have a mental health disorder.
Family therapy is a building block of our programming here at Footprints. We facilitate in-person and virtual family therapy sessions for spouses or significant others, parents, children, and siblings. We strongly encourage participation in family therapy for those who are able and healthy enough to have involvement in the treatment process.
Introducing the group therapy model early in treatment helps us to lay the groundwork for our clients to anticipate support from healthy, reciprocal relationships. We grow this notion through each conversation with a clinician and further cement it in programs of recovery. Building a network of support provides accountability, connection, socialization, motivation, advice, relatability, interpersonal effectiveness, and so much more.
We help our clients establish a strong program of recovery. Whether clients choose a traditional 12 step program (i.e. Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous, etc.) or an alternative program. We offer Refuge recovery and Recovery Dharma, which are programs based on Buddhist principles, as well as SMART recovery, Celebrate Recovery (a Christian-based program), and many more.
Our goal before you complete our program(s) is to set you up for success in sobriety. We help you build life skills with nutrition and finance workshops, vocational services to help you get a job or go back to a job, assistance with enrolling or re-enrolling in college or trade schools, and we teach you how to be your own health advocate.
Our partial hospitalization program provides the highest quality of care— evolved over a decade of experience as a provider.
Throughout our drug & alcohol treatment programs at Footprints to Recovery, we guide you in re-building a life reliant on meaningful experiences & relationships, healthy coping mechanisms, and enriching your life in ways that bring you closer to your goals.

Our medical detoxification program at Footprints to Recovery provides 24-hour medical monitoring, in-house doctor appointments, and psychotherapy to begin the recovery process. You will meet with a doctor to discuss your alcohol consumption history, pre-existing diagnoses, medical history, current symptoms, and family medical history in order for our medical team to develop a customized medical protocol to meet your needs. We will prescribe and administer medications that manage any symptoms of withdrawal and provide safety from symptoms that can be life-threatening during detoxification.
Alcohol is one of the two most dangerous substances to detox from, so this process is extremely controlled and structured by our medical team. As a provider, we are proactive in anticipating symptoms to put your safety and comfort first.
Inpatient residential at Footprints to Recovery is heavily focused on recovering the mind from the thoughts, behaviors, and actions that once perpetuated your alcohol consumption. We rely on our experienced clinical team to collaborate with you in identifying what drives your alcohol abuse— many people may abuse alcohol, but not everyone will do it for the same reason.
Here is what happens during our inpatient residential program:
A) Our clinical team will craft a detailed treatment plan for you, which acts as a guideline for the therapies and topics you will work through during your time with us.
B) You will also be assessed and evaluated by a psychiatrist for any co-occurring disorders (i.e. depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder, etc.) which will factor into your treatment plan.
C) We are a dual diagnosis treatment provider, so any co-occurring disorders will be treated simultaneously with your alcohol use disorder.
D) To help you uncover the drivers behind your alcohol abuse, you will work with your primary therapist, therapists with specializations (Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), LGBTQ+ Allies, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and more), and certified mental health counselors.
During this level of care, you will still have medical professionals available to you 24hrs, therapist assistants 24hrs, as well as an on-call therapist for anything that may come up after hours. Our clinical team at Footprints to Recovery is impeccable, accommodating, and accomplished. Our team’s expertise is what sets our programs apart from others.
Partial hospitalization, also known as a partial care program, just means that you will have some medical monitoring and treatment from physicians and nursing staff, as opposed to the 24hr medical care during both detoxification and inpatient. In Partial Care, our focus is on your mental and emotional recovery, therefore, this program provides intensive clinical care at its foundation. You can choose to live in a sober living environment during this program, or attend programming whilst living at home.
Here is what happens during our partial hospitalization program:
A) Our clinical team will evaluate your progress in addressing what was on your initial treatment plan, and evolve your goals, therapies, and topics to reflect where you’re at in your recovery process. Deeply rooted psychological barriers to your health and happiness often require more time and therapy than what can be provided in shorter term programs, so some topics may stay a clinical focus in your new treatment plan.
B) Whichever program of recovery you have chosen to lean into during early recovery will be integrated into treatment. This means you will attend meetings and support groups, begin building a sober support network, and have an introduction to the local recovery community outside of a treatment setting.
C)
Addiction effects everyone involved, not just yourself. This is why we offer a high-level of family involvement, therapy, and weekly counselor-led (virtual) sessions for family members to receive support and advice from other families whose circumstances are the same. We will educate you and your family members on what to expect and how to navigate your early recovery.
D) You will work continue ongoing individual therapy sessions with your primary therapist.
During this level of care, you will still have medical professionals available to you, in addition to scheduled medical appointments.
Our intensive outpatient program provides structure through ongoing therapy, while also being flexible and non-restrictive. IOP helps those in early recovery thrive within our unique community. You can choose to live in a sober living environment during this program, or attend programming whilst living at home.
Here is what happens during our intensive outpatient program:
A) You will meet with our clinical team to discuss your needs and goals at this stage of the recovery process. During this meeting, you will collaborate with our clinicians to build a new treatment plan, which will be your focus during IOP.
B) You will learn life skills to prepare you for independence in sobriety.
C) You will choose your treatment schedule. Most clients begin with three days of clinical work per week, before dropping down to two days per week. We have morning and evening options available, to integrate seamlessly into a busy schedule. Whether you work full-time, go to school, or have a family, you can choose sessions from 9AM-12PM or 6PM-9PM.
D) Family therapy and parenting (if applicable) will be prominent themes during this level of care. We offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions with family members, as well as Theraplay, a truly unique offering for our clients who are parents. Theraplay is a didactic child and family therapy modality that aims to build and support healthy child/parent attachment. We also use methods from this modality in therapy sessions focused on inner-child work, and in family therapy sessions with adult children and their parents.
During this level of care, you are preparing for complete independence and autonomy in the management of your health. We encourage you to set medical appointments when needed and advocate for your health needs.
Our outpatient program provides a safe space and flexible schedules to prioritize working on yourself. You can choose to live in a sober living environment during this program, or attend outpatient whilst living at home.
Here is what happens during our intensive outpatient program:
A) You will collaborate with our clinical team to decide what themes and topics you need to focus on. We have a wide range of therapy types and holistic practices that you can choose from when building your outpatient treatment plan.
B) You will continue learning life skills to prepare you for complete independence in sobriety. We will help you learn how to structure your days with hobbies, socializing, work or school, community, etc. and learn how to balance these activities with your recovery.
C) Optional ongoing family therapy and weekly counselor-led (virtual) sessions for family members to receive support.
During this level of care, you will choose therapy sessions to attend 1-3 times each week. We have morning and night outpatient therapy sessions to easily accommodate your busy work or school schedule.

Take a Look Around
It is our passion to help you realize your power. It’s hard to be stuck emotionally, physically, and spiritually— not wanting to pick up another drink or meet your dealer, and not believing you can get through the day without one. Addiction is progressive, so to say you will be in this same place 1, 5, 10, 15 years from now isn’t exactly accurate, things will only get worse from here. Asking for help might not be what you want right now, but we do know it’s what you need.
At some point along the way, you wanted to feel better and you chose the fastest way to get there. Over time, it became your only way to get that relief. The issue is that the shortcut to feeling better is the shortest-lasting and the most destructive. Today can be the last day you wake up needing to drink or get drugs to help you feel okay.
We see your potential, what we do is help you reach it.
Master’s and doctorate-level clinicians lead our comprehensive partial hospitalization program. At our Colorado locations, we are lucky to have impeccably educated and experienced team members with a range of specializations.
Our client-to-staff ratio
We believe large group therapy sessions deter clients from properly reaping the benefits of the group therapy model.
Most specialized therapy groups accommodate 3-5 clients per clinician.
Our largest group size, seen in skills-based groups (i.e. life skills, vocational skills) do not exceed 15 clients in one group.
Certified Provider
2 members of our clinical team specialize in veteran and first responder therapies. At Footprints to Recovery, we have a Valor program— this program is for U.S. military veterans and first responders and offers a curriculum specific to their experiences.
Specializations
1 member of our clinical team holds one of more of the following certifications: Certified Trauma Practitioner, Trauma Informed Care (TIC), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT).
Certified
3 members of our clinical team are certified in EMDR or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This therapeutic practice is held in high regard for the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD, C-PTSD) and trauma.
It is your choice to live either in sober living or attend programming from home. You are not required to choose a sober living environment if your home is a supportive, safe, and healthy environment for your recovery.
In PHP, you will have an intensive therapy schedule focused on treating the motivators that underlay substance abuse. For us, treating the addiction itself is done during our medical detox program— treatment after detox is really where the work begins to treat what drives the behavior of abusing substances.
In PHP, you will begin re-building a life that is not dependent on escapism, self-medication, and comfort. You will learn how to be uncomfortable and how to handle it, in addition to building up the factors of a healthy, meaningful life (i.e. community, friendships, stronger familial relationships, a support network, self-care routine, etc.)
During our PHP program, you will attend therapy sessions five days out of the week, from 9am-3pm, with a one hour break for lunch from 12-1pm.
Yes, we do support couples who both need to work on themselves. We will allow couples to enroll in our outpatient programs, but with that, you will also need to participate in couples therapy together, as well as engage in therapies separately.
We will meet together as a team to devise the best plan for each of you separately, and for you as a couple.
Yes, we do not restrict nicotine at our facilities. We know that treating addiction is challenging enough, we don’t wish to take away this comfort from our clients.
You will have breaks in between groups to smoke cigarettes in our outdoor patio area.

Our Mission
It is our mission to provide individuals with the education, tools, and support they need to attain a life lived to its fullest potential.
Our Vision
We envision a world where addiction is powerless against strong families and communities founded on empathy, connection, and knowledge.
Part of recovery is re-learning how to do life. This is especially true for clients who have been active in their substance abuse or addiction long-term. It is important to teach the recovering mind many things, including everything from how to process emotions to how to financially plan and budget.
No one is cured by attending inpatient programs, sobriety is a complete change in lifestyle— being sober from drugs and alcohol is only the start. With that being said, we teach life skills that are focused on managing emotions, getting through hardship, how to seek support from others, how to build healthy, meaningful relationships with others, how to get through cravings and respond to triggers, etc.
We teach clients how to financially plan for life, which includes anything from budgeting for groceries to what percentage of every paycheck should go to bills, spending, and saving.
Most people in early recovery are not used to asking for help, but recovery is all about connection. Building and having a sober support network will provide support, guidance, and strong social connections long after treatment is completed.
A full life is a balancing act, and a life in recovery is no different. We work with clients to help them balance work or school with working a program of recovery, having a social life, doing self-care, having hobbies, and working closer to their goals.
We all experience "negative" emotions from time to time, to live is to feel. Our therapies teach you how to give those emotions space, how to manage them effectively, or how to file emotions away until you can safely experience them at an appropriate time.
Learning how to build healthy, meaningful relationships with other people is vital to recovery. Good friendship isn't easy to come by, but our outpatient programs will prepare you to meet supportive, like-minded individuals who you can build relationships founded on reciprocity, trust, and common ground with.
Relapse prevention is a large topic in outpatient treatment, because the world is full of triggers, and cravings to drink or use drugs come and go in early recovery. We work with clients to build a roadmap that outlines their personal relapse process, which gives a clear understanding of the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that lead up to relapse. This way, clients and whoever they share their timeline with, are fully prepared to call out "relapse behavior" and prevent a relapse before it happens.
We offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) in all of our treatment programs.
We treat the physical dependence on substances, and provide medication to treat any symptoms of withdrawal for your safety and comfort.
We treat the mental and emotional dependence on substances through intensive therapies, introspective reflection, and insight.
We treat the mental, emotional, and spiritual disruptions caused by prolonged substance abuse using intensive therapy.
During intensive outpatient, we are rebuilding a life where substance abuse doesn't fit in to. We also practice skills and continue therapy.
Outpatient is a non-restrictive, flexible program that allows for a balance between recovery and life. You will attend therapy sessions 1-2 times each week.
We offer a multitude of specialized program tracks, which work to treat population-specific clients. You can choose to integrate any features of our specialized program tracks without the full programming, and you can also choose more than one track to customize your treatment experience.
For U.S. military veterans & first responders. We are in-network with Tricare, TriWest, and the Community Care Network.
"Theraplay" child/parent therapy, led by a certified clinician, will help our clients' children re-build a healthy attachment with their parent(s).
In our dual diagnosis track, we integrate psychiatry into programming to ensure your mental health is treated alongside addiction.
We offer morning or evening therapy scheduling for those in our professionals track, as well as no device restrictions. This means you have full access to your phone and computer during treatment.
It's really hard to have gone through multiple programs and not be able to sustain sobriety. We have an intensive 7 month extended treatment program for chronic relapsers to ensure there is enough time to re-build your lifestyle and practice being sober with accountability and within a treatment setting. Long-term programs like ours have shown significantly increased treatment outcomes and sustained sobriety.
We offer so many other programs of recovery if 12 step programs are not for you. Some of the alternative programs of recovery include Refuge recovery and Dharma recovery (programs based on Buddhist principles), Christian-based programs like Celebrate Recovery, & SMART recovery.
We have complete virtual capabilities, although we reserve this program track for those who truly cannot take the time or are not in the condition to attend in-person treatment. In our telehealth track, all therapy appointments are virtual, including MAT maintenance with medications like Buprenorphine/naloxone sublingual tablets, Buprenorphine sublingual tablets, Naltrexone injection or tablets, or Acamprosate calcium.
As an LGBTQIA+ ally and provider, we offer specialized therapies at the base of our LGBTQ+ track. Additionally, we are one of few providers who will work with our medical practitioners to provide hormone therapy.
Chronic pain is one huge driver of substance abuse. To help our clients with chronic pain, we provide a range of services meant for physical relief, including but not limited to: chiropractic care, massage therapy, yoga, and acupuncture.
Our holistic approach to treatment provides healing in the body, mind, and spirit. Sobriety marks the liberation from the shackles of addiction. No longer held hostage by substances, individuals can regain control over their lives and make choices based on their true desires and values.
Substance abuse takes a toll on the body, leading to deteriorating health and vitality. In sobriety, you will embrace healthier habits, such as exercise, balanced nutrition, and regular sleep patterns, which contribute to a significant improvement in physical well-being. We provide many physical activities, in addition to a gym membership.
Addiction clouds the mind and exacerbates emotional turbulence. In sobriety, the fog lifts, and individuals gain mental clarity and emotional stability. They become better equipped to face challenges and cope with stress in a healthier manner.
Active addiction often leads to strained relationships or isolation. Sobriety allows individuals to rebuild trust with family, friends, and loved ones, fostering healthier and more meaningful connections.
Sobriety at Footprints opens many doors to rediscovering old hobbies or developing new ones. Activities that were once neglected due to addiction resurface as sources of joy and passion, helping you find purpose and fulfillment.
During our outpatient programs in Colorado, clients engage in self-reflection, identifying the root causes of their addiction and addressing underlying issues. This journey of self-discovery leads to personal growth, increased self-awareness, and a better understanding of one's strengths and weaknesses.
In outpatient treatment, you will learn to lean on your recovery community. Your recovery community is where individuals can share their experiences, learn from each other, and receive support. These communities create a sense of belonging and provide a crucial support system.
