We accept the following insurance providers: Medicaid, Medicare (not Denver Health, Anthem, Devoted), CHP+ (not Denver Health), TRICARE/TriWest, Aetna, Cigna, Cofinity, Humana, Permanente United Healthcare, UHSS (United Healthcare Shared Services), UMR (United Medical Resources)

The Withdrawal Management program operates 24/7/365 and is designed to serve individuals who are intoxicated or under the influence of other drugs and/or who are experiencing moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms and in need of 24-hour supervision, observation, and support as they progress through their withdrawal.

It is licensed by the Office of Behavioral Health as a 3.2 Withdrawal Management (WM) program, and is considered by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) to be a Clinically Managed Residential program.

The primary goals of the withdrawal management program are to:

Monitor patients as they safely withdraw from drugs and/or alcohol
Assist in increasing motivation for change so that ongoing recovery is possible
Actively link patients to the services for ongoing care
Provide a safety net for the community
