Our Methodology
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.
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.
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.
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.
Clients entering an inpatient rehab typically require more intensive treatment than those in outpatient care. Clients often start inpatient treatment immediately after completing a detox program. Upon admission, they engage in extensive psychotherapy, receive recovery-focused life skills training, and participate in evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation, massage, acupuncture, and/or animal, creative arts, recreational, and experiential therapy.
Clients engaged in a rehab aftercare program have completed active addiction treatment and are receiving services designed to promote their sustained sobriety. Drug rehab aftercare typically encompasses a wide variety of medical, mental health, and social services meant to facilitate clients' reintegration into their home, workplace, and community. Clients typically collaborate with their case manager and/or recovery team to identify and access the services they need, often including peer coaching, career counseling, and care referrals.
Addiction recovery based on a 12 step program model is rooted in peer support and spiritual development. Participants regularly attend 12 step meetings, which are free, anonymous, peer-led, and available throughout the day and night in most communities. Clients' recovery is achieved progressively as they work through the 12 steps, which teach them to understand and address the root causes of their addiction, become accountable for their choices, and relinquish control over that which cannot be changed.
Residents of a sober living home in Colorado are encouraged to continue to develop coping skills and habits they learned in treatment. They can typically live at the halfway house as long as they want, until they feel they are ready to transition home. During their stay, they must adhere to house rules, which may include contributing to household chores, abiding by a curfew, and maintaining a job.
A drug intervention in Colorado is necessary when someone needs help with substance abuse but is unwilling to stop using despite multiple negative consequences. Intervention services are available to walk family and friends through a step-by-step process of planning and executing the intervention. A successful intervention requires careful planning and set-up as well as appropriate follow-up. Intervention services can be crucial to carrying out each of these steps.
The process of medically assisted detox usually takes place in an inpatient setting while under the 24/7 care of a team of licensed medical professionals. It's considered the safest way to rid the body of all addictive substances and prepare you for a transition into either an inpatient program or various forms of outpatient rehab. The program length varies depending on your needs, but it typically takes about 5-7 days.
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.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
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).
The main principle of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in Colorado is that substance use disorders are based on faulty thinking and behavior patterns. The goal of this treatment is to help the individual learn better ways of coping with challenges, which will lead to changes in thinking and behavior.
Dialectical behavior therapy is skills based and present oriented. You'll be asked to keep a diary of emotions and related behaviors and practice the skills you've been learning between sessions. The focus of skills development is on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Group therapy in Colorado offers you a platform to share your stories about drug addiction and co occurring mental health conditions. You'll receive encouragement and empathy from peers who understand your journey, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
Men and women in Colorado have access to customized individual therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. These sessions explore your life experiences and patterns of substance abuse. Your therapist helps you recognize harmful behaviors and thoughts that empower you to make positive changes for lasting recovery.
Therapists who employ motivational interview techniques seek to draw out the client's ideas about change and allow them to draw their own conclusions about the need for change. This method is often effective for clients who feel unsure about their ability to change or the need for change.
During trauma therapy, you explore the impact that a traumatic event has had on your life. Your therapist can help you develop strategies to manage the emotional and physical symptoms while improving emotional regulation. This improves your overall quality of life.
Based on the couple's needs, couples therapy may take different forms. Your therapist will probably take an integrated approach, using techniques from several methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and psychodynamic couple's therapy. The goal is to work through challenges and strengthen your relationship.
During family therapy sessions, family members in Colorado work with therapists to understand addiction as a disease that has affected the entire family. This approach fosters empathy and reduces blame on any one member. Promoting this collective effort helps to support the recovery process.
Life skills are traits you need to be successful during recovery, such as managing stress and interpersonal relationships. During rehab treatment in Colorado, you and your therapist will identify any skills that need to be developed and work on methods to strengthen them.

I came to this place after struggling with painkiller addiction for a while. The staff really helped me through it, especially with the Suboxone treatment. It wasn’t easy, but they made sure I had the support I needed, and I could still talk to my family pretty often, whic ...
They are great at making you feel comfortable. From the front desk to counselors and doctors are the nicest people in their professions by far. For those reasons they've made my recovery very tolerable.
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to express serious concern regarding an incident that occurred at the DRG clinic on December 24th, which has significantly impacted my view of the facility and its commitment to client care. Before this incident, I would have highly recommended DRG due to the exceptional and supportive nature of the staff. However, what happened on Christmas Eve warrants immediate attention. My boyfriend and I are phased-up clients and rely on this clinic for our medication. We arrived at the clinic and walked through the doors at exactly 4:00 PM, the scheduled closing time. We immediately got in line. At 4:01 PM, an employee named Diedra came out and stated, "If it's after 4 we can't take you," and refused to serve us. Another client intervened and confirmed that we had entered the building right at 4:00 PM, before the time had turned to 4:01 PM. Diedra chose to ignore this client's confirmation and adamantly turned us away, forcing us to leave. This action resulted in us having to go without our essential medication for two full days. Given the nature of recovery and the critical need for consistency in treatment, this treatment was careless, unprofessional, and deeply upsetting. While I understand that it was Christmas Eve and staff wished to leave promptly, our medication is not something that can be missed, and we were there on time. Diedra’s conduct was cold and showed a lack of empathy for clients working hard to maintain their sobriety. Her actions felt like a major setback in my recovery process. I am now seriously considering changing clinics because I cannot risk being treated this way again. I hope that you will address this matter with Diedra to ensure that no other client is treated with such disregard, especially those who rely on DRG for their well-being. Thank you for your time and attention to this critical issue. Sincerely, Diana Romero
If you have substance abuse issues with opioids., methadone is definitely a game changer for the best! I no longer have tunnel vision ,and I dont feel like im stuck on a perpetual never ending hamster wheel. The staff here is pretty chill and they have the best hours out of all of the recovery clinics. Which is why I give them a five out of five stars , two very enthusiastic thumbs up!
I can’t speak to the other clinics within the DRG community but I’ve been going to the Montrose clinic for almost 3 years now. And like any other clinic they’ve had their ups and downs. But they did save my life and I will forever and always be grateful for that!! But I do want to give a HUGE shoutout to Nadia at the Montrose clinic!! Out of all the counselors I’ve dealt with over the few years at this clinic..Nadia is definitely my favorite!! She’s the first one that I feel comfortable talking with and feel like she has my back! And she proves she has your back because she fights for you!! I can call her with any issue or concern and she is there. Never rushed a conversation, easily relatable and truly cares. Which is massive for us in recovery!! We need those that actually give a shit about us and our journey!! I appreciate her, her hard work and dedication so very much!!! I can’t ever thank her enough for always being there and caring and helping! Thank you Nadia!! We are so very lucky to have you truly!!
