Overview
What is Day Treatment?
Day Treatment, also called a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), is the most intensive care we offer outside a hospital or residential setting. You spend your days in treatment with us, and live at home or with us at The Castle or our Carriage Houses.
When it opens in December 2026, you can join PHP after residential or inpatient care, or admit directly when you need more support than weekly therapy can give. Either way, PHP gives you the structure you need while you start rebuilding routines, relationships and confidence in the real world.
PHP may be a good fit if you:
- Need consistent, daily support, but not around-the-clock medical care
- Need more support than weekly therapy can give, or are leaving residential or inpatient care
- Want to live at home, or with us at The Castle or Carriage Houses, while you are in treatment
- Are not at risk of harming yourself and can safely take part in a day program

AIM Health holds a special place in my heart. From the moment I walked through their doors, I felt a sense of belonging and comfort. The team of compassionate professionals provided me with the personalized care I needed to overcome my mental health and substance use challenges. AIM is more than just a treatment center; it's a haven of hope and healing.

Talk with admissions (720) 739-3332
When does Day Treatment open?
Day Treatment (PHP) opens in December 2026. Call our admissions team now to talk through timing and plan your start. If you need support sooner, our evening Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is open today.
How many hours a week is PHP?
Day Treatment will meet Monday through Friday, 9am to 2pm. That is 20 or more hours of care each week, plus a weekly individual session.
Where do I live during PHP?
You have options. You can live with us at The Castle, a historic Boulder home with structured, 24/7 support, or in our Carriage Houses close to the Earl House. If you live in the Boulder area, you can also live at home and come to treatment each day. Whether you are local or coming from outside the area, we can accommodate you.
Can I start directly in Day Treatment?
Yes. Once Day Treatment opens in December 2026, you can start PHP directly after a confidential assessment, when you need more support than weekly therapy can give. You can also join after inpatient or residential care at another program. Supportive housing is optional: you can live at home, or with us at The Castle or our Carriage Houses.
What happens after PHP?
Your team builds a continuing care plan with you. Many clients continue in our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and your recovery coach keeps working with you as you build independence.
Does insurance cover Day Treatment?
Many plans cover PHP. We currently accept Aetna and Blue Cross Blue Shield plans, and our admissions team will verify your benefits before you start.
