We are an ASAM Level 3.7 sub-acute medical inpatient and detox facility and an ASAM Level 3.5 residential treatment center, accredited by The Joint Commission. Since opening in 2018, Valiant has been recognized by the behavioral health community as a trusted partner in the Denver metro. For over 30 years, founder and CEO Michael Dinneen has been a recognized expert in addiction and mental health, and is an internationally known speaker, author, and person in recovery.
Our services include medically monitored detox, comprehensive assessment, and short term residential treatment. Our model fills days with healthy activities that help our staff truly understand each individual, so we can build a more personalized path of recovery that includes secondary interventions and referral services. Our spacious living accommodations were designed around dignity, comfort, and safety, with gender separate bedroom wings.
