La Luna Center Overview
La Luna Center specializes in helping individuals struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, etc. The facility accepts male and female patients, as well as, adolescents – age 14 to 19, and adults. The La Luna Center offers three treatment programs – Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), and the traditional outpatient treatment program. Individual and group therapy sessions are in order, based on the principles of CBT and DBT. Medication management is available on-site.
Upon arrival, the patients engage in a free consultation during which they discuss their unique case with a professional counselor who will later decide whether or not the facility and its treatment programs are a good fit for the patient. The La Luna Center guarantees good results for its patients who are determined to change their lives for the better.

The La Luna Center is currently available on two locations in Colorado – in Boulder and in Fort Collins. Both locations offer accommodation to its patients as a part of the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP). The facilities are in the dorm-style, with patients required to share rooms with each other. Bathrooms are shared as well. All meals plus snacks are prepared on-site, by the kitchen staff which follows a diet plan prepared by a professional nutritionist beforehand.

La Luna Center Treatment Options
La Luna Center offers three different treatment options for its patients to choose from:
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) – The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is perfect for anyone who is not capable of leaving work/school to attend to therapy, but despite that is in need of inpatient treatment program. The PHP offers patients to live at the facility, with them being able to leave to attend work or school.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) – The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is different than the PHP since it does not require patients to live at the facility. They are free to live at home but are required to visit the facility to engage in the assigned therapy sessions.
- Outpatient treatment program – The traditional outpatient treatment program only requires the patients to visit the facility at the scheduled therapy sessions, but what makes it different than the IOP is its duration and the frequency of the therapy sessions. The traditional outpatient treatment program usually lasts shorter than the IOP and has less frequent therapy sessions on a weekly level.
