Mental health services in Lakewood, built around your life and measured every week

More support than weekly therapy, without leaving your life behind. Three mornings a week of group therapy, one individual session, then you go home.

Colorado Mental Health Services runs an adult mental health IOP in Lakewood, Colorado, about 15 minutes west of downtown Denver. Groups of 8 to 12 meet in person Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9am to noon, and people join from Denver, Golden, Littleton and Englewood.

Yes. Our Lakewood program treats depression and anxiety, along with bipolar disorder, OCD, trauma and adult ADHD. Group therapy, a weekly individual session and in-house psychiatry all work from one plan.

In person. Groups meet at our Lakewood practice on West 14th Avenue, so you see the same clinicians and the same faces in your group each week, with psychiatry down the hall.

Look for licensed clinicians, psychiatry on the same team, a clear weekly schedule and a way to see whether treatment is working. Our IOP is Joint Commission accredited, has an in-house medical team and tracks your progress with a short check-in every week.

You don't need one. A free pre-assessment with a clinician comes first, and it decides whether this level of care fits — no diagnosis or referral required to call.

If weekly therapy isn't moving things forward but you're still managing work and daily life, it's usually a good fit. If you need support around the clock or substance use is the main concern, we'll help you find the right next step instead.

Yes. Our medical director, PA and RN review what you're already taking as part of the program — psychiatry is in-house, not a separate referral.

Most people do. Groups run mornings only, Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 9am to noon.

Ours does. Our Lakewood IOP, just west of Denver, accepts Colorado Access, Cigna, Anthem, BCBS PPO, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, Tricare West and Kaiser Medicaid. We're not able to accept Medicare, but admissions checks your benefits before you start and talks through other options.

Standardized wellbeing measures completed by you, every week — not scored by your own clinician, and reported as measured, including cases that show no improvement.

Mental health stays the focus here. When substance use becomes the main concern, Red Rock Recovery Center continues your care, and we help make that connection.
