Dual Diagnosis Treatment in Littleton, CO
Integrated outpatient care for substance use and co-occurring mental health concerns.
Coordinated Dual Diagnosis Care in Littleton, CO

Our Outpatient Dual Diagnosis Programs
An initial assessment helps your care team understand your substance use, mental health symptoms, medical history, daily responsibilities, and treatment goals. This information guides the recommended program and your personalized care plan.
Partial Hospitalization Program
Our partial hospitalization program provides about 30 hours of treatment each week. This structured schedule allows substance use and mental health concerns to be addressed together while you continue living at home.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Our intensive outpatient program provides nine or more hours of weekly treatment. Morning and evening sessions make it easier to receive consistent care while managing work, school, family, and other responsibilities.
Virtual Outpatient
Secure telehealth gives eligible clients another way to participate in treatment. Virtual care may be helpful when transportation, work, or family obligations make regular trips to the Littleton clinic difficult.
Help Finding the Right Level of Care
Some people can begin dual diagnosis treatment in an outpatient program. Others may need detox, inpatient care, or more intensive mental health support first.
A confidential assessment considers substance use, mental health symptoms, medical needs, safety, and daily circumstances. If outpatient treatment is not the right starting point, our admissions team can explain the available options.
