At first, choosing a detox in Colorado can seem overwhelming. There are so many options to choose from — how do you know which detox center will best meet all of your personal needs? When it comes to choosing a detox there are several important factors to consider. You want to make sure the detox you choose focuses on more than physical stabilization. For many, medical detox is only the first step on the road to recovery. In order for sobriety to be maintained, a person needs to undergo treatment once they have gone through drug or alcohol withdrawal. Because of this, choosing a detox center that helps with rehab placement is often ideal. At CuraWest we offer a highly individualized and integrated detox program in the heart of Denver, Colorado. We prioritize the unique clinical and medical needs of each individual client while actively preparing them for the remainder of their personal recovery journey.

What Are Your Detox Goals and Needs?

You can narrow down your search significantly by determining which elements of a medical detox program are important to you. Are you looking for a program that offers therapy in addition to medication assisted treatment? Are you looking for a medical detox that is part of a larger addiction treatment network, so you can easily transition into the next appropriate level of care once you have been physically stabilized? When choosing a detox in Colorado we encourage you to ask yourself the following questions, which are going to help you hone in on your personal detox goals and needs.

• Does the detox center specialize in treating withdrawal symptoms associated with the kind of substance(s) I was using?
• Does the detox offer additional addiction services like case management and therapeutic care?
• Does the detox offer dual diagnosis services?
• Does the detox offer medication assisted treatment options?
• Does the detox center offer personalized aftercare planning services?
• Does the detox center accept my health insurance?
• If I am not currently insured through a regional provider in Colorado or a major national provider, does the detox offer additional coverage options like self-pay and private pay?
• Will I have to wait a long time to be admitted, or can the facility admit me immediately?
• Will the detox center help me make a smooth transition into the next appropriate level of care, whether that is inpatient rehab, partial hospitalization or outpatient treatment?
• Does the detox offer focused and individualized care, or do they treat all of their clients the same way regardless of personal backgrounds and history with substance use?

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Detox in Colorado:

Inpatient vs Outpatient Detox

When choosing the best detox center in Colorado, we recommend looking for an inpatient detox as opposed to an outpatient detox. Inpatient detox provides the following benefits:

• You have 24/7 access to professional medical care, meaning withdrawal symptoms can be effectively treated as soon as they develop.
• Vitals are checked regularly to ensure physical health remains stable.
• You are in a secure and closely monitored facility, meaning the risk of returning to drug or alcohol use is reduced significantly.
• In addition to standard detoxification methods like medication assisted treatment, you have access to individual, group and family therapy sessions, case management services and personalized aftercare planning.
• You are living (short-term) in a facility designed with client comfort in mind, and you have access to a range of comfort-based amenities geared towards making your detox experience as positive as possible.
• Daily, chef-prepared meals are provided, and clients have 24-hour access to a fully stocked kitchen, promoting a faster return to physical health through adequate nutrition.

Choose a Licensed Colorado Detox

We also recommend choosing a detox center which has been both licensed and certified. At Curawest we have received the following:

• Certification and Licensing through the State of Colorado – Being licensed and certified through the State of Colorado means our practices have been observed and approved by state standards, and we consistently adhere to all state guidelines regarding medical detoxification and inpatient detoxification.
• LegitScript Certification – Being LegitScript-certified means that an addiction treatment facility has been evaluated and certified to operate safely and legally. LegitScript also performs ongoing monitoring throughout an addiction treatment provider’s certification period to ensure compliance. The LegitScript seal displays “LegitScript Monitored” to reflect ongoing monitoring, which can be found throughout our website.

Pick a Colorado Recovery Hub for Detox

There are numerous recovery resources readily available in Denver, Colorado. Not only does the beautiful natural scenery present countless opportunities for sober, recreational fun (from hiking the mountains to paddle boarding and kayaking nearby lakes and rivers), but the city itself is home to a range of recovery meetings and sober support groups. For many of our clients, medical detox is the first step on a multi-phased continuum of addiction treatment. If a client chooses to transition directly into a higher level of care there are many wonderful options in the Denver area.

Insurance & Costs

When choosing a detox center in Colorado consider how you are going to cover costs. Reputable detox centers, including CuraWest, work closely with most major regional and national health insurance providers. If you are currently insured there is a good chance some — or all — of the treatment services we provide are either covered partially or in full. We offer free, no obligation insurance benefit check — contact us today to begin. We also offer self-pay and private pay options for those who are uninsured or underinsured.
