Call 911 if you or someone else is in immediate danger. Call or text 988 for mental-health crisis support in the United States.
Your symptoms made sense. We treat what they were managing.
If you’re living with safety and urgent concerns, you don’t need a substance use diagnosis to begin. Healing begins in our Partial Hospitalization Program: a full day of care, and home every night.
You deserve a response that takes your concern seriously while respecting your voice and choices.
These are rooms at our Denver office. You spend the day here, and you go home at night.
Safety and urgent concerns can begin with recognizing what needs immediate attention and what needs a thoughtful care conversation. If you are facing suicidal thoughts and an urgent need for help or concerns about nonsuicidal self-injury support, you do not have to minimize what is happening.
Immediate help is appropriate when you may act on suicidal thoughts, have a plan or access to a lethal method, cannot keep yourself safe, are seriously injured, have severe trouble breathing, or cannot stay awake. Call emergency services or go to the nearest emergency department. If possible, remain with a trusted person and move away from weapons, large quantities of medication, or other items you might use to hurt yourself until help arrives.
Increasing self-injury urges, thoughts of death, intense agitation, withdrawal from daily life, or a sharp change in sleep and functioning are meaningful reasons to seek support. A conversation can help distinguish an emergency from a concern suited to scheduled care. Women’s Recovery is located at 3801 E Florida Ave, Ste 650, Denver, CO 80210, and can be reached at 833.754.0554.
Crisis support is appropriate when waiting could leave you or someone else unsafe, while scheduled care may fit concerns that feel serious but manageable. You can review guidance about urgent help for suicidal thoughts and explore admissions at Women’s Recovery when you are able to consider care choices without immediate danger.
Warning signs may include suicidal thoughts becoming more frequent or specific, feeling unable to resist self-injury, escalating substance use during a crisis, severe confusion, or losing the ability to manage basic safety. These signs are not a diagnosis. They help you decide how quickly to act and give a care professional useful context for understanding the level of support you may need.
Daily responsibilities can make it tempting to postpone care, especially when you are protecting privacy, managing work, caring for others, or worried about disrupting family life. Those pressures matter, but they do not make your safety less important. Appropriate care can provide space to assess risk, identify what is intensifying the situation, and consider realistic support. You remain part of decisions whenever the situation allows, rather than being reduced to a list of symptoms.
Self-injury concerns deserve attention whether the behavior happened once, has become repetitive, or exists mainly as an urge you are trying to resist. Learn more about support for nonsuicidal self-injury, or contact Women’s Recovery for a private, conversation about your concern and possible next steps.
Care should make room to discuss what happened, current urges, injuries, suicidal thoughts, substance use, and the situations surrounding the behavior. This distinction guides safety decisions, yet it should never be used to dismiss self-injury as harmless or attention-seeking. You deserve to be met with concern rather than shame.
It can help you understand the emotions, conflicts, numbness, memories, or immediate pressures connected with an urge and develop safer ways to move through those moments. Medical attention may also be necessary for an injury. If suicidal thoughts are present, an honest assessment of intent, planning, access to lethal means, and your current ability to stay safe helps determine whether emergency or ongoing support is appropriate.
Pregnancy, substance use, and medication concerns can make an already difficult moment feel more complicated. You can read about Rivotril during pregnancy and safety or explore substance use during pregnancy and help. Sudden medication changes should remain a decision for your treating prescriber, while immediate physical danger needs emergency care.
Natural products are not automatically safe, and supplements may cause side effects or interact with medications. Some physical and psychological approaches have good overall safety records but are not risk-free for every person. Care that considers pregnancy can help place emotional symptoms, pain, medications, substance use, and physical health in the same conversation rather than treating each concern in isolation.
Gabapentin and pregabalin can cause serious breathing problems in people with respiratory risk factors, including the use of opioids or other medicines that depress the central nervous system and conditions that reduce lung function. Severe breathing difficulty, unusual unresponsiveness, or bluish lips or fingertips requires urgent medical attention. For nonemergency concerns, a prescriber can review interactions and weigh the risks of continuing or changing treatment.
A co-responder unit is a community public-safety option for situations involving behavioral health concerns, but it is not the same as ongoing treatment or emergency medical care. Depending on your circumstances, you may need urgent help for suicidal thoughts or may prefer to contact Women’s Recovery about continuing support.
The exact program, response process, and geographic coverage depend on the local jurisdiction. For example, the Co-Responder Unit linked here is associated with Commerce City, CO, rather than serving as a general description of every Denver, CO crisis option. This kind of response may be relevant when a behavioral health concern intersects with a community safety call, but immediate medical danger still requires emergency medical help.
A community response may focus on immediate safety, stabilization, and connection, while ongoing care gives you time to understand recurring thoughts, self-injury urges, substance use, or pressures affecting daily life. You can contact Women’s Recovery at 833.754.0554 to discuss what has been happening and what you want from care. You can ask questions without committing to a particular path during that first conversation.

Call AdmissionsA situation may be urgent when you cannot stay safe, suicidal thoughts are becoming more specific, self-injury is severe, breathing is difficult, or someone is hard to wake. Immediate danger needs emergency help. Other intense concerns still deserve timely support, even when you are uncertain whether they qualify as a crisis.
You can call 833.754.0554 for a calm conversation about what is happening and whether Women’s Recovery may be an appropriate next step. If calling feels difficult, someone you trust can sit with you. You do not need to explain everything perfectly or make a treatment decision during the conversation.
Self-injury can require medical attention even when there was no intention to die. Suicidal thoughts involve thoughts of ending your life, but intent and immediacy can vary. Both deserve compassionate attention. If you may act on suicidal thoughts or cannot remain safe, contact emergency services now.
Pregnancy can affect the safety of medications, supplements, and some physical or complementary approaches. Do not stop or change a prescription on your own. A prescriber or pregnancy care professional can weigh your symptoms, health history, interactions, and pregnancy circumstances while helping you address urgent emotional or physical concerns.
You can begin by discussing what feels unsafe, what has recently changed, and what kind of support you want. Contact Women’s Recovery at 833.754.0554 or visit 3801 E Florida Ave, Ste 650, Denver, CO 80210. The conversation can remain exploratory, with room for your questions and choices.
