Questions people ask about University of Colorado Denver/ARTS
Which levels of care does University of Colorado Denver/ARTS have?
They provide outpatient and telemedicine, which is the whole of what this address in Denver is set up for.
Does University of Colorado Denver/ARTS offer a detox?
No, and nothing else within 14 miles of Denver offers one either, so that part will mean a longer drive or a referral.
Can I do this by video instead?
They offer a telemedicine option. What that covers varies, and a first appointment in Denver often still has to be in person.
Is medication assisted treatment available at University of Colorado Denver/ARTS?
They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Denver.
Is treatment available in Spanish at University of Colorado Denver/ARTS?
Yes. They treat people in Spanish. Confirm it for the first appointment specifically, because in Denver that can depend on who is rostered that day.
How much will my family be told?
Involvement is usually structured rather than left to visiting hours, and that is deliberate. What a program will discuss with a relative is set by a signed authorization, and it can be as narrow as attendance only. Ask how often the family sessions meet and whether they happen in person.
Does a return to use mean treatment did not work?
A return to use is treated as information: something in the plan was not holding. A recurrence after a long gap and one in the first week are different problems with different answers. Ask whether the program takes somebody back directly or wants a fresh assessment first.
Do I have to tell my boss?
You are rarely obliged to give a diagnosis to an employer, only a medical reason for leave. Some professions have licensing bodies with their own reporting rules, and those are worth checking separately. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
