Questions people ask about Community Medical Services

Which levels of care does Community Medical Services have?

They provide outpatient and telemedicine. The nearest alternative is in Westminster, 4.9 miles away, if you want something to compare it against.

Can you detox at Community Medical Services?

No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Denver offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.

Are there free support meetings in Denver?

Denver has 353 free AA meetings as well, which is not treatment but costs nothing and needs no referral.

Is Community Medical Services an option for a veteran?

They have a program for veterans. Ask whether the group is veterans only, because for a lot of people that is the point of it and in Denver it may be mixed.

Does Community Medical Services treat older adults?

Older adults, plus young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64. Ask how the groups are arranged in Denver, because a wide age range often still means one room.

Do I have to tell them it is court ordered?

Court ordered treatment is routine, and programs that take it are used to the paperwork. A program that is not approved by the relevant court will not satisfy the order, however good it is. Tell the program about the deadline in the order at the start, not near it.

How long would I be in a program?

Anything from a week to a year, depending on what is being treated and how. Stepping down through levels of care takes longer in total and tends to hold better than one intensive block alone. Ask what the program does when somebody needs more time than the block allows.

Do I need a referral for insurance to pay?

Coverage is common, and partial coverage is more common than the full amount. Prior authorization is normal for a residential stay and unusual for a single outpatient visit. Ask whether the quote covers the detox as well, because frequently it does not.
