Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery

About the Facility

Colorado’s Recovery-Oriented, Clinically Driven, Medication Assisted Recovery Program

Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery (CMAR) is an outpatient recovery program, specializing in the treatment of opioid dependence, co-occurring addictions and mental health concerns as well. We integrate structured and comprehensive medical, clinical, and peer-based services. Our medical team is led by Dr. Nathaniel Moore, board certified in addiction medicine, and our clinical team is led by Michael Damioli, LCSW, CSAT. Our services are designed entirely around evidence-based and trauma-informed practices.

CMAR is the only program in Colorado with an intensive-outpatient and controlled substance license, and the only program in the state to offer an intensive outpatient program specifically to people suffering from opioid addiction. Length of care is variable and based on medical and clinical progress. CMAR is not a high-volume clinic, but rather a specialty program that maximizes each patients’ potential. Care is individualized and fit around each patients’ schedule.

Treatment begins with comprehensive assessments followed by buprenorphine “induction” for those who need it. Clients then commence an individualized taper schedule off buprenorphine at a pace consistent with clinical progress (this process can be as long or as short as needed). Throughout this process patients participate in individual, group and family counseling, peer support and case management. Community is central at CMAR. We ensure that each patient is connected to their peers and empowered to connect to the broader recovery community.

Levels of Care

Outpatient

Outpatient rehabs offer a wide variety of services and levels of care to align with clients’ unique and evolving needs. Outpatient care is best suited for clients who are stable and for those who wish to remain at home while receiving treatment. Clients typically receive addiction counseling and recovery-focused life skills training, including participating in evening, night, and weekend sessions to accommodate clients’ schedules. Clients at an increased relapse risk may receive more frequent and intensive treatment.

Clinical Services

Family Therapy

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

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.

Individual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.
