woman talks with therapist about dual diagnosis treatment for women in denverWhen substance use and mental health challenges occur at the same time, healing requires more than a one-size-fits-all solution. At Women’s Recovery, we offer dual diagnosis treatment for women in Denver that addresses both issues together. Our integrated programs support the whole person, making space for lasting change.

Whether you’re entering treatment for the first time or returning with a new perspective, we are here with services that are compassionate, clinically grounded, and structured to support your real life.

Understanding Dual Diagnosis

A dual diagnosis, also known as a co-occurring disorder, means a person is managing both a substance use disorder and a mental health condition. These challenges often develop together. Each one can make the other harder to manage unless both are treated at the same time.

At Women’s Recovery, we work with women experiencing:

  • Depression and alcohol use
  • PTSD and prescription drug misuse
  • Anxiety with cannabis or stimulant use
  • Bipolar disorder and recurring relapse cycles
  • Disordered eating or ADHD alongside substance use

No two women experience dual diagnosis in the same way. Our care is always personalized based on your history, symptoms, and goals.

Our Integrated Treatment Approach

We provide dual diagnosis care through outpatient and partial hospitalization programs at our Denver location. You can begin treatment while continuing to live at home or in a supportive sober living environment. Our programs are flexible and respectful of the other parts of your life.

Our services include:

  • Individual therapy with licensed clinicians
  • Group therapy focused on emotional regulation, boundaries, and recovery support
  • Neurofeedback therapy to support nervous system regulation
  • Nutrient therapy for physical healing and mental clarity
  • Psychiatric care, including evaluations and medication support
  • Case management for housing, employment, legal, and coordination needs

This approach brings medical, psychological, and emotional care together in a single plan.

Specialized Services for Women

Everything at Women’s Recovery is built for women. We support adult women of all backgrounds and identities, including trans women and nonbinary individuals who feel aligned with our community. Many of our clients carry long-term trauma, work multiple roles in their families or careers, or have tried other programs that didn’t speak to their experiences.

What you can expect:

  • A safe, nonjudgmental setting
  • An all-female clinical team
  • Peer groups that foster honesty and trust
  • A program that honors your history and your pace

“The small groups and one-on-one time with my counselor and case manager was exactly what I needed. I felt safe, loved, and most of all I felt like I mattered and belonged in this world.”
— Cassie

This is not a place where you have to explain yourself. It’s a place where you can be understood.

What to Expect in Our Programs

Women’s Recovery offers two core levels of care: partial hospitalization program (PHP) and intensive outpatient program (IOP). We help you choose the right level based on your current needs and stability.

PHP includes:

  • Up to five days of structured care per week
  • Daily group therapy sessions
  • Weekly individual therapy
  • Psychiatric care and clinical check-ins
  • Optional coordination with sober living

IOP includes:

  • Three sessions per week
  • Weekly one-on-one therapy
  • Continued psychiatric and holistic care
  • A focus on relapse prevention, communication, and community support

“I completed the 90-day IOP program with ambition, self-awareness and integrity. Women’s Recovery didn’t just give me my life back. They helped me become someone I am proud to be.”
— Nicole

Aftercare and Long-Term Support

Recovery does not end when treatment hours decrease. We help you prepare for what comes next by offering:

  • Step-down care into standard outpatient
  • Referrals to long-term therapy or sober living
  • Alumni connections and continued check-ins
  • A personalized plan for ongoing stability and support

Many of our clients stay in touch with one another and with us. We believe community is one of the most powerful tools in recovery.

FAQs: Dual Diagnosis at Women’s Recovery

How do I know if I need dual diagnosis treatment?

If you’re experiencing both mental health symptoms and substance use, a dual diagnosis program may be helpful. We can assist you with a private assessment to figure out the best path forward.

Do I need to be sober before starting?

No. Many women begin care while still using or in early withdrawal. We support you wherever you are in the process.

Do you offer sober living?

We refer to trusted sober living programs for women and coordinate treatment plans with those houses if needed.

Can I work or care for family while attending?

Yes. Our IOP is structured with flexibility in mind. We offer scheduling options to support clients with careers, caregiving roles, or court requirements.

Do you only serve people in Denver?

While our physical location is in Denver, we serve women across Colorado and beyond. Depending on your needs and insurance, you may also be eligible for virtual care.
