About Recovery Center – WellPower

Expect to receive group and individual counseling from qualified mental health clinicians and staff. Medication management may also be made available to eligible patients.
They may also point you in the right direction regarding housing assistance. Too often, people with a history of mental health problems live in a series of unnecessarily addictive episodes while simply trying to cope with the circumstances of personal adversity or a recent setback.
Many people who drink or do drugs may be looking for better ways to fill their time in general, so the computer and culinary classes really leave even the biggest procrastinator with no excuse but to check them out. They also have music education classes, which double as therapeutic if you’re looking for something practical but also fun to take your mind off of the often self-imposed pressures of eliminating a substance use disorder.
People really liked this place, which explains their above average review. One person said it was great but wished that transportation assistance and healthy snacks were provided.

First of all my doctor didnt have the decency to let me know about the meds he prescribed for me hadn't gone through my medicaid insurance. Then I found out that they were going to sign me up for another program called the mat clinic at wellpower which I never agreed to. We talked about it, but I never told him to go through with it. And then I found out that while doing so I was labeled as an opiates addict, which is BS. NO ONE LABELS ME ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE CALLING ME AN OPIATE ADDICT. I have been sober from opiates for over ten years, and what they are labeling me as is total BS!! I have worked very hard to get this far and have it taken off of my records !and I am going to start a law suit against denver health for doing the same thing to me. Wellpower has no right to label me or anyone else as an opiate addict since they dont deal with pain meds there thats done by my pcp and has nothing to do with wellpower at all. So be careful who you talk to there because they might label you as something and never tell you that they did it. Also, wellpower will not give you the phone number to there MAT clinic to talk to them about this. I want my name, age and anything else given to the MAT clinic erased permanently from their records immediately!! Your business has no right to be labeling people like myself as an opiate addicts if you dont even deal with pain meds!! Im sure there are a lot of people that have been labeled by wellpower as opiate addicts or alcoholics or any other label they can come up with. Wellpower has no business looking into my past and using it against me by labeling me. Im going to put a stop to this, not just for me but for all the other people that have worked hard to become sober. Someone needs to and im the one that will follow through on this. If you are reading this review and have been labeled by wellpower you can get in touch with me via email and we can fix this together. Update, the same Dr has now put something in my chart that is false and In no way were they allowed to go back in my personal past medical records. But they did and now they refuse to take it off my record unless I jump through their hoops. I remember back in the day you were innocent until proven guilty? Why should I be the one who has to go out of my way to prove to them that they are wrong and it needs to be romeved immediately! If they really cared about their clients they wouldn't abuse their power and use their ability to look in your past medical records and use it against you? No, wellpower doesn't care about you or anyone else that has some kind of mental issues. They are just trying to fill your chart more addictions and problems so they can collect money from the government for each of us. STAND UP, and dont take this from them or any other medical facilities.

Wellpower is sketchy. Same with Sanderson apartments. Yes I have a home but there is some bad things going on with experimentation! Nobody is mentally safe and I managed to stay with wellpower for years after I got released from jail. Not to mention the gang stalkers I have had at montbellow followed me to wellpower or the people from jail followed me to wellpower. Wellpower formerly MHCD needs to apply ethical practices in place so nobody lives with trauma. If they can do that that would help many people for the greater good. Please don't let me die tormented with these people at wellpower and after I leave Sandersons if I survive next year.

The level of professionalism concerning the therapist is BS...addiction therapists trying to give complex trauma advice that isn't helpful. If your certifications are not trauma informed, leave the trauma therapy to someone who is a licensed, trauma informed therapist. Also, keep your appointments with your patients...just some suggestions that will help you as a "professional".

Accepted Insurance

Please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Recovery Center – WellPower works with several private insurance providers, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

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.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

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.

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.

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 right diet balances your body's dopamine levels, which are the natural "happy drugs" of the brain. Nutrition therapy helps you learn the best foods to eat to achieve and maintain this balance, which supports long term addiction recovery.

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Experiential therapy departs from traditional talk therapy by involving the body, and having clients engage in activities, movements, and physical and emotional expression. This can involve role-play or using props (which can include other people). Experiential therapy can help people process trauma, memories, and emotion quickly, deeply, and in a lasting fashion, leading to substantial and impactful healing.
