In-home bipolar disorder support after a hospital stay
In-home bipolar disorder support keeps sleep, routines and medication reminders steady at home and watches for early warning signs. At Recover at Home, a coach follows the plan your psychiatrist and our in-house therapist set, and tells your prescriber the same day when sleep changes, across Colorado and Wyoming.
Steady routines, sleep and medication are the backbone of stability with bipolar disorder. Our coaches help keep them in place at home, notice early warning signs, and keep your psychiatrist in the loop.
Built on our eating disorder program: the same daily coaching at home, the same in-house clinical team, and the same step-down plan.

What a recovery coach does with you
Coaches are trained in mental health first aid, suicide prevention and de-escalation. Our in-house therapist and your psychiatrist lead treatment.
Sleep and routines
Consistent sleep and wake times, tracked every night, because sleep is often the first thing to change.
Early warning signs
Two short nights in a row? We tell your prescriber and our director the same day.
Medication reminders
Reminders and a simple log your prescriber can see. Coaches never give, fill or manage medication.
Daily structure
Meals, activity and rest in a rhythm that supports stability.
School, work and appointments
Getting back to daily life, and getting to every appointment.
Support for the family
A calmer home and a clear plan your family can follow if things start to change.
The step-down model
Example of how step-down support often looks
Most plans run about 6 months, the most common length from start to finish. Support is highest right after discharge, the riskiest time, and steps down as you progress.
- Month 1 12–16 hours/day Long days after a hospital stay: sleep, medication reminders and a steady routine, logged every night.
- Month 2 About 8 hours/day Routines settle. Back to school or work, with sleep watched closely.
- Months 3–4 About 4 hours/day Fewer hours. We keep watching for early warning signs and tell your psychiatrist the same day.
- Months 5–6 Visits a few times a week Visits a few times a month. You and your family know the plan.
An example only. Your plan and pace are set with your treatment team. See a month-by-month example plan.

what we won’t do
No therapy or diagnosis
Coaches don’t provide therapy or diagnose. Our in-house therapist and your psychiatrist do.No handling medication
We remind and log. Family, a pharmacy or a nurse fills and gives medication.
Who leads it
A director who leads the team, and your clinicians in charge
Our mental health program has its own director, with years of experience in serious mental illness, who hires, trains and supervises every coach. Kathryn’s team and Nancy Getter, LCSW, stand behind them.
How do families pay for it?
Private pay, with paperwork for HSA and FSA accounts. ABLE accounts and special needs trusts can sometimes pay too. For some plans, we can ask your insurer for a single case agreement. It’s a request, not a promise. Contact us to discuss prices. Paying for care
Who is it for?
Clients and their families. For clients under 18, parents sign the support agreement and stay part of the plan.
