About Independence House North Side – Denver
Independence House Northside in Denver, Colorado, has a focus on providing outpatient services for individuals in the criminal justice system. They have other locations that offer inpatient care, but here we’re going to look at their outpatient services provided at this location.
They give you individualized treatment plans, relapse prevention training, and substance use education. I like that they also offer mental health support and dual diagnosis care. In this program, you can get psychiatric evaluations done as well as medication management to make your experience easier. Therapy takes into account any trauma that you might have been through and helps you heal while taking control of your future.
Some of their more unique services include vocational and life skills training to help you reintegrate back into society. They’ll help you build up your resume, study for interviews that might be coming up, or even teach you some workplace etiquette.
I like that they help you find jobs in general, even after you leave their facility. They’ll give you life skills training so that you learn financial literacy, communication, time management and independent living skills. Once all of this is over, they’ll give you a good discharge plan and some aftercare resources, as well as housing assistance.
