About Clinica Family Health and Wellness — Broomfield Clinic
Mental Health Partners in Broomfield, Colorado, is now Clinica Family Health and Wellness. This is a community focused organization that helps individuals, adolescents, and families navigate complex emotional struggles they might be facing. They also have several treatment programs if you have a substance use disorder.
Care is offered in an outpatient setting here. Along with policies from most major insurance providers, they also accept Medicaid and Medicare plans. Financial assistance is available if you are uninsured.
As an outpatient clinic, you’ll find comprehensive counseling services offered in an inviting and supportive recovery setting. Peer support services are also offered through this location.
Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment
Helping reach you where you’re at in your journey to recovery, I find that SBIRT screenings are incredibly supportive for those who are unsure where to start with support.
These screenings are helpful for individuals who know they have a problem with substance use but are unsure how to start treatment. It’s also supportive for those who are facing challenges with substance use or their mental health but don’t yet have a diagnosis.
These screenings are offered to you free of charge and can be a life changing starting point in helping you get the appropriate care you need for your life circumstances.
Jail-Based Services
Another aspect of this organization that stands out to me is their jail based services that extend to individuals who are incarcerated but might be struggling with a mental health or a co-occurring substance use disorder.
This program helps support inmates by giving them the opportunity to build life skills and healthy habits and learn how to manage and control complex emotions and feelings. While treatment happens in a jail or prison facility, family members and other loved ones can be supported throughout this journey as well through counseling at the Broomfield clinic.

Absolutely abhorrent experience. I was with MHP/Clinica for ten years, and they kept cycling me through misdiagnoses until I ended up getting an outside expert's opinion. I am very honest and open about my life, I don't hide my symptoms, and I feel like they severely dropped the ball. They put me on tons of medications over the years that were extremely detrimental, despite me telling them I have reacted poorly to those types of medications in the past. Genuinely disturbing how little they care about patients. I was on a wait list for therapy for over one year, I believe it was closer to two. I missed two appointments in a row after missing almost none for ten years, and no one ever called to follow up. I was having a psychiatric crisis, and they couldn't have cared less. Please don't be fooled, this is an awful mental health establishment and they do not care about you. Look anywhere else for your care, this establishment does more harm than good.
We appreciate you taking the time to share this and wish you continued healing and support in your ongoing care.

For the most part happy with the service. Definitely have to add that their caseworkers are lacking considerably. Literally asking the same questions in every single visit and not doing anything about it. Telling you they’re going to help you with your resume and then not. Telling you they’re going to help you with getting a cot for your vehicle if you live in your car and then not. Asking you if they’ve spoken to you about other resources over and over and then never getting in contact with you about any of them. I have literally wasted a year of my time seeing one of their caseworkers who has no answers to any of my questions. Who clocks into work sits in front of their computer can’t remember what we last spoke about so basically repeating yourself over and over and getting nowhere.Besides the Caseworker being excessively lazy MHP NP and one of there therapist have excelled in helping me. It did take a couple of tries prior with other therapist that sit in their chairs “mmhmming” you for an hour. Luckily finally found on that seems to care. On the other hand I highly recommend that you go elsewhere for any case management. Don’t waste your time repeating yourself and stay in square one for a year. That is all, carry on.
We are sorry to hear that your experience with case management left you feeling unheard and stuck. We are committed to continually improving our services, including how we support individuals through case management, and your feedback makes this possible.

It took FIVE appointments to do my intake and assessment before I could get any help. I'm pretty sure they charged Medicaid highly for each one.
During that entire time with counselors, we were on track and in agreement for me speaking to a therapist.
Met with the lady who PRESCRIBES THE MEDICATION, not a therapist in any way. . .
I had to tell her what prescribed medication I had tried and worked, and she just goes, "Well, we'll just try that again." Wow, thanks for your expertise. I could have written the Rx myself.
After that appointment, my therapist was canceled. Not by me, not involving any conversation with me. I literally had my appointment the NEXT DAY. In less than 24 hours, we went from seeing a therapist to only getting meds and group therapy.
The lady that writes the Rx gets to veto the recommendation of the therapist by the counselors?
If you can't pay or your insurance is lacking, you will get an Rx and the most basic generic group therapy possible.
I also get the impression that the staff here is new or in school currently.
Example: any review here, not 5 stars, gets the same copy/paste response of low effort to resolve the issue.
Don't go here.

Accepted Insurance
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.
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
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.
Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.
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.
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.
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.
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.
