What Denver Springs does

Denver Springs, LLC is a private behavioral and mental health treatment facility operating three locations in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area: an Englewood inpatient hospital campus and Changes-branded outpatient clinics in Parker and Westminster. Founded in 2017, the facility operates as a subsidiary within the LifePoint Health network, with career operations, email infrastructure, and clinical platform administration managed under the parent company's domain. Denver Springs delivers a full continuum of behavioral healthcare including 24/7 emergency mental health assessment, inpatient psychiatric and chemical dependency treatment, medically supervised detoxification, Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs, and a dedicated Child & Adolescent Program for patients ages 5+. The Help for Heroes® program provides specialized trauma-informed care for active duty military, veterans, first responders, and high-risk frontline professionals, developed in compliance with Department of Defense guidelines and certified under TRICARE.

The facility's core clinical technology rests on evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), expressive therapy, and wellness education, with no proprietary AI, digital therapeutics, or software platform disclosed. Patient intake is conducted through a 24/7 call center (720.643.4300) supported by a financial counseling team that verifies insurance benefits and coordinates admissions. Treatment modalities are delivered in person across the three locations, with no mobile app, patient-facing software, or remote/telehealth infrastructure documented in the source material. The Joint Commission National Quality Approval accreditation serves as the primary quality credential.

Revenue is generated primarily through per diem billing for inpatient services, with a publicly disclosed gross charge of $2,920.88 per day and negotiated commercial rates ranging from approximately $950 (Colorado Community Health Alliance Managed Medicaid) to $1,963 (6Degrees Health). PHP services are billed at $365.11 gross per day with negotiated rates from $380 to $895. Revenue derives from contracts with major commercial insurers (Aetna, Anthem, Beacon, Cigna/Evernorth, Kaiser, United Behavioral Health, Humana), government programs (TRICARE, VA CCN, Medicare, state Medicaid plans), and self-pay patients paying a discounted cash price of $1,200 for inpatient services. The standard charges file was last updated 9/22/2025, reflecting ongoing regulatory price transparency compliance. Patient segments span adults with mental health conditions, adults with substance use disorders, children/adolescents, and the military/first responder population served through the Help for Heroes channel.
