About AllHealth – Littleton
AllHealth Network is a nonprofit organization treating substance use and mental health disorders. They also have an acute care mental health unit called Bridge House located on South Santa Fe Drive in Littleton, Colorado. The organization accepts commercial insurance and Medicaid.
Bridge House is a 16 bed acute treatment unit (ATU). The ATU is for ages 18 and up and treats clients who need an inpatient stay due to a psychiatric emergency. The ATU offers care that’s not as intense as an inpatient stay but is a higher level of care than a crisis stabilization unit.
If you or a loved one is at risk for suicide or unable to function due to mental health reasons, this may be a good fit. In the facility, you’ll have a psychiatric evaluation as well as a medication evaluation and management. There’s around the clock nursing care. You’ll have individual therapy and attend therapeutic groups. There are also family and peer support meetings. You’ll participate in recreational group and skill based activities. You’ll work on the issues that may have led to your crisis such as grief, trauma, anxiety, and depression.
For clients who identify as transgender and feel the need for additional privacy they have two single rooms. You’ll be in a safe and secure space to receive individualized therapeutic services.
The treatment teams use the Illness, Management, and Recovery model, an evidence based approach to mental health treatment. You’ll learn how to actively participate in your recovery by setting recovery goals and improving your knowledge about mental illness as well as learning coping strategies. You’ll be empowered to make informed decisions and manage your illness.
