Red Rock Recovery Center

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 offer one. Sorting detox out comes first, and Wheat Ridge is the nearest place that does it, 1.9 miles away.

They treat older adults, along with young adults from 18 to 25 and adults from 26 to 64, which is a wider range than most places listed near Denver cover.

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

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

Compare the specifics, because almost every center describes itself in the same words. A program that cannot tell you its staff to client ratio usually has a reason. Ask for the daily schedule in writing rather than a description of it.

The rule covers the first phone call too, before you are a patient and whether or not you ever become one. Insurance claims do create a record with the insurer, which is the usual route by which treatment becomes visible. Call (844) 822-5800 if you would rather ask these questions before giving a center your name.

Outpatient care usually starts within days. A residential bed can be immediate or weeks out. A list quoted in weeks can shorten without warning, so being reachable matters. Ask what the wait is at every level of care, not only the one you called about.
