Questions people ask about Denver Health Community Detox

What kind of care does Denver Health Community Detox provide?

They are set up for 3 levels: outpatient, inpatient residential and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Denver, 2 offer a bed.

Does Denver Health Community Detox offer a detox?

They do not detox, and nothing inside 14 miles of Denver does either. Ask them where they send people, because a place without one usually has somewhere it refers to.

Can Denver Health Community Detox handle a court referral?

They take court referrals, which usually means they are used to the reporting side of it. Courts in Denver send people to places set up for it rather than to any opening.

Does Denver Health Community Detox do telehealth?

They do video appointments, which matters if Denver is a drive for you.

Is treatment available in Spanish at Denver Health Community Detox?

Spanish is one of 4 languages they work in beyond English, alongside Sign language, Korean and Russian, which is a wider range than most of Denver.

What about the medication my doctor prescribed?

Prescriptions are usually kept going, and changing one is a decision for a prescriber rather than a policy. A pain condition does not disappear during treatment and should be part of the conversation from the start. Ask whether the program has its own prescriber or works with yours.

Can I go back after a relapse?

It happens to most people at some point, and it says nothing about whether this will work. Overdose risk is highest just after a period of not using, which is worth knowing by itself. Ask about naloxone if opioids are involved, because tolerance will have dropped.

What happens to work or school while I am in treatment?

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. Ask the program for a date it will confirm in writing, because a leave request needs a date rather than an intention.
