Questions people ask about Eastern Colorado Healthcare System - Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC

What programs does Eastern Colorado Healthcare System - Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC offer?

They provide outpatient, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Denver is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

Can you detox at Eastern Colorado Healthcare System - Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC?

They detox from opioids, alcohol, benzodiazepines and methamphetamines. Which substances a place handles matters more than the word detox, and none of the 8 centers near Aurora offer one at all.

Can you stay overnight at Eastern Colorado Healthcare System - Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC?

Outpatient only, and nothing within 14 miles of Aurora has beds either, so a residential stay would mean traveling further than that.

What ages does Eastern Colorado Healthcare System - Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC treat?

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Aurora can mean one group rather than several.

Is medication assisted treatment available at Eastern Colorado Healthcare System - Rocky Mountain Regional VAMC?

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Aurora offers both.

Can any of this be done remotely?

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Aurora differ on it.

Is treatment expensive?

Nobody prices this from a listing. It turns on the level of care, the length, and what a plan is willing to approve. Every state operates a publicly funded system with its own intake line, separate from anything a private center offers. Get the figure in writing if you can, and ask what happens if you need longer than the program length.

How long would I be in a program?

The number quoted is almost always the first block, and the whole arc of treatment runs longer than that block. Outpatient programs often involve three to five sessions a week at first, then taper to one. Ask how many hours of treatment a day the length actually contains.
