What we do

Since 1960, Mile High Behavioral Healthcare has empowered individuals to shape healthy, viable, complete lives. Our care is vital to those on the fringes of our community—individuals struggling to hold on and move forward. For high-risk, high-need individuals, there are significant barriers to services. We are there for them with life-changing care.

"The most important thing I've learned from MHBHC is the difference between having to quit and wanting to quit. Without them, I wouldn't have held my job or achieved good relationships with my family. MHBHC is not just part of my recovery; it will forever be a part of my life."
