I just tried calling to help my husband through a situation. While he is in required classes and signed a contract stating he cannot miss more than 30 days in a row, he has a job and a family and was unable to make it last week. He was then told when he spoke with them that as long as he came in this week that he would not be discharged. We feel that he was lied to and not communicated with properly. He would have moved things around last week had he known that the class he attended last night would not count and he was already discharged. It was a waist of his time to go in and he missed out on a shift at work to make sure he made it. As I was trying to explain this I was hung up on. At no point did I show any hostility, I was simply showing my frustration with the entire situation. I feel that they need to train their staff better so that miss information is not given. This place is supposed to help our mental health but this situation has caused the opposite.Do better.

Other Forms of Payment

Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.

Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.

Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.

Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.

Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
intensive-outpatient iconIntensive Outpatient
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.

Treatments

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Programs

adult-program thumbnail image
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
lgbtq-program thumbnail image
LGBTQ Program
Recovery is most successful when clients feel accepted and validated by their peers and treatment providers. Facilities that offer LGBTQ-inclusive programming are committed to creating a safe space where everyone can grow and recover without fear of judgment or discrimination. They will have dedicated policies in place to create a safe and supportive environment that fosters free expression.
military-program thumbnail image
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).

Clinical Services

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

The people here seek to benefit you with their actions. They are people who are moral and ready to support you in whatever. The only thing is that they should organize a little more to have better control of patients

Amos Counseling truly lives up to its motto, “Turning Lives Around.” That statement isn’t just a slogan—it’s exactly what they help people do. The staff here genuinely care about the individuals they serve. They’re not just going through the motions; they show up with heart, compassion, and a deep commitment to helping people change their lives. Yes, the program can feel tough at times, but real change takes work. If you’re ready to commit and put in the effort, Amos Counseling is the kind of place that will walk with you through the process. They hold people accountable in a way that’s supportive, not judgmental—and that makes all the difference. If you’re serious about turning your life around, this is a place where you’ll find the guidance, structure, and most importantly, the people who truly care enough to help you do it.

I can see why someone wrote, worse customer service. Having worked in Mental Health and being Instrumental in the Development of HIPPA I kind of understand the not wanting to give out Information on a Client, but asking does a Client get Mail is Hardly Informative.

Marty Amos got personally upset with me, while I was a resident at Sober Living 1. I was working and had a mental health crisis, the company took 2 months to find a right fit as I was in Senior Care Overnight and they were concerned with lack of supervision (understandable). 2 months later I was at a day position at my place of work (so I racked up 2 months of rent) we agreed on a "payment plan". I was literally working 47 hours a week (the only resident at this sober living with a job, mom and dad or disability were paying everyone else's rent. My transportation to work was a bike, Which was stolen, I asked politely if I could have an extension, I needed a now cheap bike (this during my lunch break) I was told that if I did not have the money by the end of the business day, to "pay up or pack up", I fortunately was saved by my employer that donated a check to me. By than I had a negative standing with the Amos business. I was upset as I had to call into work to figure out how to pay this, close to end of business day I ended up at the mercy of my employer. Than in November (Even with a signed "payment plan" I received a letter that stated "if any residents have outstanding debts they must be fully paid by end of month, or pack up" This brought my already fragile mental health into crisis, as I just received my 1 year chip and homelessness and/or shelter was like being at ground zero for addicts. I had suicidal ideations and plans almost executed them out if it were not for a friend in the program. I though was kicked out and lost my job, and my clean time due to my decisions, I take accountability for, what I do not take accountability for is the uneeded and forceful way they pressured me into a mental breakdown. Another thing is,, that they did not document payments well, I know I literally cashed a whole paycheck to catch up with this "payment plan" and was given a receipt the size of the receipts given to you after a purchase at a store, with my schedule and transportation issues I had lost my receipt (which was a learning experience, as I now keep all large receipts) they would not add that to my balance without the receipt, so i worked 94 hours just to donate it to Amos counseling. Now I'm told this person who never wanted a sober living house to begin with is now in charge of a very reputable sober house brand, The Oxford Houses In my experience this person is just in this for financial gain. If desperate for sober living please utilize it, but be very cautious.

Whitnessed on several occasions meth being smoked on the hangout property it plain sight while driving through the alley.This place is the worst excuse I have seen for social welfare. I have helped several people who have been in currently or dismissed recently from Amos. Both staff who no longer work there and persons supposedly treated by them have all said they are not helping these people with anything. They no longer give people rides to assist with anything except taking them to the day center after charging their insurance and of course they will pick them up to bill their insurance again but nothing else. While claiming to press they are helping people. Disgusting and inhumane how they are taking advantage of the impoverished in the community.
