About Us
Since 2008, The Raleigh House has built a national reputation for addiction and mental health treatment, rooted in a whole-person approach to healing. Set on 40 peaceful acres just outside Denver, The Ranch at The Raleigh House offers a calm, supportive environment for people working through substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions.
As one of two care environments under The Raleigh House, The Ranch provides detox and stabilization, inpatient treatment, partial hospitalization, and experiential therapies that help clients find their way back to balance and purpose.
Levels of Care at The Ranch
All programs at The Ranch follow The Raleigh House clinical model, which combines evidence-based therapy with experiential treatment to support lasting recovery.
Detoxification and Stabilization
Detox and stabilization provide medical and emotional support as the body safely adjusts after stopping substance use. During this stage, clients receive compassionate care designed to promote comfort and stability as they prepare for the next phase of treatment.
Inpatient Treatment Program
Inpatient treatment programs, offered in 30-, 60-, and 90-Day lengths, provide structured daily schedules built around therapy, education, and experiential healing activities. This flexible timeline in a residential setting allows each client’s stay to match the depth of care they need, helping them build a strong foundation for long-term recovery.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our partial hospitalization program provides intensive therapeutic support while allowing clients to begin transitioning toward greater independence. Clients attend structured treatment during the day, engaging in therapy, skill-building, and relapse prevention, then return to a supportive living environment each evening.
Conditions Treated at The Ranch
Clients at The Ranch at The Raleigh House receive care for a range of substance use disorders, mental health conditions, and co-occurring disorders.
Substance Use Disorders
Alcohol use disorder
Alcohol addiction can affect relationships, health, and emotional well-being. Treatment at The Ranch helps clients understand triggers and develop healthier coping strategies.
Drug addiction
Drug addiction, including substances like opioids, heroin, cocaine, and meth, can significantly impact physical and emotional health. The Ranch provides residential care and therapeutic support to help clients stabilize, address the root causes of substance use, and rebuild healthy routines.
Mental Health & Co-occurring Disorders
The Ranch treats mental health conditions both on their own and alongside substance use disorders. Common conditions treated include depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders.
For clients facing both a mental health condition and a substance use disorder, The Ranch provides integrated dual diagnosis care, since healing one often depends on healing the other.
Our Watkins, Colorado Setting
