Denver Recovery Group - Colfax

They are set up for 2 levels: outpatient and telemedicine. Of the 8 centers within 14 miles of Denver, 1 offers a bed.

No. The nearest place that does offer one is in Denver, a few streets away.

Outpatient only. Nobody stays overnight, so the week is built around appointments you travel to in Denver.

They offer a program for people who are pregnant or just postpartum, which not every center around Denver does.

They treat adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. Anyone outside that range is worth a call rather than an assumption, and Denver has 8 other centers to try.

They prescribe methadone and buprenorphine, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Denver.

You will be asked about the drug, the dose, your medical history and your coverage. Where a program is not the right fit, a decent intake worker will say so and name somewhere else. Have your insurance card and a list of medications next to you.

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Ask whether a schedule outside working hours exists before ruling treatment out.
