Foundry Steamboat Men’s Residential Addiction Treatment Program in Steamboat Springs, Colorado

An Introduction to the Foundry Steamboat Men’s Residential Addiction Treatment Program

Gender-specific care makes addiction treatment more effective by tailoring programming around the needs of men and creating a comfortable environment where they feel open and engaged. Deeply ingrained stigmas about addiction and stereotypes about manhood can be sources of profound stress and cause men to suffer in silence. Much of our work focuses on addressing and dispelling these myths, helping men live happier, more authentic lives. We also address the common and debilitating problem of trauma and neglect, which men can experience at any point in their lives. Our highly experienced clinicians, technicians, nurses, doctors, and case managers are specially trained to maintain an emotionally and physically safe environment where clients feel supported and encouraged to do the hard work of treatment. Our staff are some of Colorado’s most skilled addiction treatment specialists, and they care deeply about our clients and their recovery.

Our Dual-Diagnosis Men's Treatment Program

Our dual-diagnosis treatment program for men and their family members offers the comprehensive programming components needed to address the psychological, physical, and spiritual aspects of addiction, co-occurring mental health disorders, and trauma.

Residential Men’s Dual-Diagnosis Treatment

Our men’s residential dual-diagnosis treatment combines psychiatry, nursing, individual and group psychotherapy, and psychoeducation to help men understand and manage their conditions. We use evidence-based therapies and highly trained team members. We offer a rigorous schedule of coordinated clinical services to give clients a better chance at establishing recovery and gaining resilience during their treatment stay.

Trauma Treatment

Trauma is a common underlying condition affecting men with substance use and mental health disorders. Trauma can develop at any point in a man’s life and does not require severe adverse life events. Trauma is often caused by childhood experiences or neglect. Because untreated trauma causes severe ongoing anxiety, depression, grief, and shame, it must be resolved before men can feel free from the stimuli that lead them to use substances to feel normal.

Family Programming

Addiction is, indeed, a family disease. Substance use disorder is often highly related to family systems. At Foudnry Steamboat, we provide a unique form of family programming that educates and counsels clients and family members about how to support recovery and maintain a safe and supportive home environment. Our Michael Barnes Family Institute program is available to clients or any family experiencing addiction.

Nutritional Counseling

Living with substance use disorders can cause malnutrition. We help men understand the role of a healthy diet in supporting recovery and as a means of maintaining good physical and mental health. In addition to wholesome and delicious chef-prepared meals, clients can participate in our horticulture program to grow and harvest fresh produce that we use in our dishes.

Wellness Activities & Recreation

A recovery-supportive lifestyle is about more than not using substances. At Foundry Steamboat, we help men learn how to use movement, sitness training, individual and group recreation, and mindfulness to feel healthier and regain a positive self-image. Learn to redevelop strong relationships is also an essential part of our care.

Continuing Care Planning

Residential treatment, no matter how effective, should not be someone’s only form of clinical support. Managing substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders takes time and regular care. We strive to develop comprehensive and practical continuing care plans allowing men to access affordable, high-quality doctors, psychiatrists, psychologists, support groups, and other recovery resources close to home.

The Benefits of a Gender-Specific Men's Program

Testimonials

They saved my life. Now 90 days sober/clean. By far the best clinical and therapeutic care I’ve ever experienced in my life. I had been to drug/alcohol treatment before and this is not the same. The staff and physicians actually care about what happens to you and will fight your insurance for more time. Please understand that not everyone will get 90 days but if you are prepared to pay for it out of pocket please do!!! They will work with you and find a payment plan that works. — C.B.

The Foundry’s beautiful setting is matched by their progressive approach in addressing the complex problem of addiction in a complete holistic program that is flexible and adaptable for anyone and everyone. With resources for those in recovery and also their families The Foundry is an amazing place to start a lifelong healing journey. — X.B.

My perspective is that of a parent whose son was at The Foundry for a short time. His serious mental illness did not allow him to stay, however I can say that the Foundry tried everything they could and eventually did right by all of us and our family. I sincerely wish them well, and they will do well because they have they have the residents’ best interest at heart – which is recovery, from addiction and/or mental illness. — C.C.

Such a truly lovely center. They helped my best friend so much. The staff was so obviously caring and I dont know where he’d be without them — K.L.

Importantly, we know that for many men, addiction is about more than one substance. Many people suffering from addiction have so-called polysubstance use disorders. We aim to help people establish a foothold in recovery so that they no longer feel the need to use any substance to feel normal. Identifying the primary substances people use makes detoxification safer and helps to identify any specialized treatment needs.
