About IDEA Forum Inc

IDEA Forum Inc. is an outpatient counseling provider in Aurora, Colorado, and one of four locations alongside offices in Denver, Thornton, and Brighton. Their work centers on breaking generational cycles of abuse and substance use, with therapy designed to be culturally aware and responsive to each client’s background. They treat substance use disorders and also serve many people completing court requirements for DUI or domestic violence offenses. Care is outpatient, offered through Intensive Outpatient (IOP) and Enhanced Outpatient (EOP) programs, along with relapse prevention and recovery planning.

For driving offenses involving alcohol or drugs, they offer Level I and Level II education, Level II therapy across Tracks A, B, C, D, and F, interlock enhancement counseling, and a program for underage drinkers. Domestic violence services include evaluations and treatment groups, with gender-specific and LGBTQ+ specific options, while broader behavioral health work covers anger management, parenting, life skills, victim empathy, and smoking cessation. Counselors draw on approaches such as the Matrix Model, Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention, Seeking Safety, Helping Men Recover, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR with DeTur, and Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT). Monitored sobriety through urinalysis, breathalyzer, oral swab, and hair testing is available for clients who need documented proof of abstinence.
