Jefferson Center for Mental Health

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

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.

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

Denver has 151 AA groups, which is a different thing from treatment and a useful one next to it.

There are 8 more within a short drive of Denver, so this does not have to be the only call you make.

The useful comparisons are concrete: the level of care, whether there is a prescriber, what the aftercare is, and the cost. Who delivers the therapy matters: licensed clinicians and counselors in training are not the same thing. Check the accreditation yourself rather than taking the logo at face value.

It is the same treatment with reporting attached, and most of the programs listed here take referrals. Where child welfare is involved, the reporting is usually wider and the timelines are tighter. Keep your own dated attendance record alongside whatever the program keeps.

Many people are treated without leaving work at all, because outpatient programs are available evenings and early mornings. Short term disability sometimes applies to a residential stay, depending on the policy. Find out whether the center deals with human resources departments directly.
