Boulder Alcohol Education Center

They offer outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Boulder has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and cocaine, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Boulder.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which is the part of treatment that is prescribed rather than attended. Of the 8 centers near Boulder, not all of them do.

Lengths vary by level of care more than by center, and outpatient is the long one. A plan may approve days in batches and review before extending, so the length can change while you are in it. Ask what the program length is and what happens if more time is needed.

Availability changes week to week, which is why no listing page can tell you. The gap between deciding and starting is where most people fall away, so a shorter wait has value of its own. Ask to be put on a cancellation list as well as the main one.
