Footprints to Recovery

Footprints to Recovery's outpatient programs in Englewood, Colorado are structured for people who are serious about sustained recovery — not just getting through a crisis. The Outpatient Program and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) both provide clinical treatment within a schedule that allows participants to remain active in their lives outside of the treatment setting. For many people in recovery, that flexibility is what makes ongoing participation realistic.

IOP in particular occupies an important place in the recovery continuum. It offers more clinical contact and structure than a standard outpatient program, making it well-suited for individuals transitioning from residential treatment or those who need more support than weekly sessions can provide. At Footprints to Recovery, this level of care is available to adults ready to commit to a structured recovery program while staying rooted in their community.

Footprints to Recovery specifically serves veterans, and the program reflects that focus in concrete ways. The center accepts TRICARE, the health coverage program for military members and their families, in addition to private insurance and self-pay. Veterans seeking substance abuse treatment often carry experiences that complicate recovery — trauma, PTSD, and co-occurring mental health conditions among them — and Footprints to Recovery's clinical scope addresses all of these alongside addiction treatment.

Dual diagnosis treatment is a confirmed part of the center's programming. That means individuals with both a substance use disorder and a co-occurring mental health condition — such as PTSD — can receive integrated care rather than being referred out or treated in sequence. For veterans navigating this intersection, that integration is not a bonus feature; it is a clinical necessity.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a central part of how Footprints to Recovery approaches addiction treatment. CBT works by helping people examine the connections between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors — a skill set that is directly applicable to managing cravings, navigating high-risk situations, and building a stable foundation for long-term sobriety. It is one of the most widely studied approaches in addiction treatment, and its presence here reflects a commitment to structured, skills-based recovery work.

For people who have tried treatment before or who are approaching recovery with skepticism about what actually works, the specificity of CBT as a clinical method matters. It is a framework with a defined skill set, not a vague philosophy — and that distinction can make a real difference for people evaluating outpatient rehab options in the Englewood and Denver area.

Footprints to Recovery is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week for people ready to explore their treatment options. The admissions team can be reached by phone at (720) 450-9760 or by email at [email protected]. The center is located at 6505 South Paris Street in Englewood, Colorado 80111, and serves adults seeking outpatient addiction treatment in Arapahoe County and the surrounding Denver metro area.

The center accepts private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay. For veterans and their families, TRICARE acceptance removes a significant administrative hurdle and makes accessing substance abuse treatment more straightforward. Anyone with questions about coverage or program fit is encouraged to reach out directly — the center's stated approach is immediate placement for those who are ready.
