I had been to this hospital in the past and thought well of it until I was here again last November 2019. The psychiatrist on staff the last time is not one of my favorites. She has some horrible arrogant entitlement about her and went ahead and recklessly violated my righ ...

Latest Reviews
Whatever you do PLEASE don t trust these good reviews. Many of them are very clearly fake (I included a string of clearly fake reviews in this post). Watch for any with excessively flowery language, as well. Some even seem to be potential bots that give 5 star reviews on hundreds of different businesses.IF YOUD RATHER NOT READ MY LONG REVIEW, PLEASE go to youtube and search Fox31 Denver Centennial Peaks and watch the TWO videos that first pop up.I was held here in 2018. Checked in voluntarily, they held me with little [and some days, no] communication to my mom or to any doctors I was required to make appointments with prior to even being CONSIDERED for discharge. Nurses were negligent at best, and combative at worst. I m not a combative person, especially in the mental state I was in and felt physically threatened by a much larger female nurse within the first hour of being in the unit.The psychiatrist was hardly ever there and seemingly impossible to reach, took until my final hours there to see a so-called patient advocate. By then, I d already been gravely misdiagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and put on antipsychotics heavy dose of antipsychotics (to which I ve never shown ANY symptoms of needing). I was fortunate to find a provider years after release who confirmed this was a horrible misdiagnosis, but I had no choice (until I found my perfect provider) while feeling in such a crisis but to trust that she was right- and this gave me YEARS of going down the wrong path for mental health treatment. When asked my providers after my stay what my previous diagnosis was, I gave BPD as my answer. Centennial Peaks caused YEARS of poor mental healthcare for me by giving me a dead-wrong diagnosis after an incredibly short meeting talking with a cold and uncaring psychiatrist.They also push ECT on every patient, regardless of their diagnosis or condition. There was a woman in my unit- who d been there for around 8 weeks at that point- who would come out of ECT and unable to even recall her name, age, or anything about who she was for DAYS. I was told this was her second series of ECT treatments too- similarly to me, she obviously felt she had no other choice than to trust these people. This treatment in combination with the way it was pushed onto patients was barbaric and incredibly inhumane.the only thing we could ever muster up any happiness about in there was a coffee machine and the occasional packet of hot cocoa powder that would be left out. A fellow patient who d been to prison before said that was something that reminded him of prison, but that they at least had more freedom and kindness afforded to them in prison. I WISH I was joking. It s safe to say the level of cleanliness and sanitation is comparable if not worse than in a prison as well.I signed in voluntarily for 3 days, and was held for 13. They were trying to hold me longer than that still, but I got out by some miracle. Please avoid this place and (if you can) try to get to somewhere like Denver Health or Porter Hospital where you will be treated with at least SOME dignity and humanity.
Respectable health facility or Rikers Island? MY loved one is being held here and they have shut us out from proper communication. There has been gross negligence on their part and grounds to sue. They will not let us speak to our loved one with out a patient number which the doctor FAILED TO PROVIDE TO US. Effectively cutting off our communication. They failed to listen to us beg and plead about our loved ones medications. They are treating our loved one like a hardened criminal and not considering the required mental health medication prescribed. Absolutely despicable! I pray no one's loved one has to be here. Did I speak to the front desk on the phone or a prison warden? I'm not sure.
Centennial Peaks Outpatient Program is probably the best thing I have ever done for myself. I m 28 years old and have been struggling with mental illness for over a decade. When I first found myself speaking to centennial peaks about outpatient services I was experiencing acute psychological distress and a strong desire to put an end to my problems permanently. I was truly on the edges of reality, delusional, paranoid, depressed, agoraphobic, etc. I was at my lowest point.Centennial Peaks tends to focus on psycho education, which for me is a priceless resource to have because of the impact it had on my thoughts and behaviors. I am the kind of person who needs to have every pattern explained to me like I m 5 years old. Once I have a clear understanding of the pattern and how it s manifesting in my life, I can accept it and begin to change it fundamentally and incrementally with the resources provided.This is definitely a program for people who are sick of being hopelessly sick and suffering. If you are ready to have real solutions and resources at your fingertips, Centennial Peaks is a great place to start.Disclaimer: No matter how good the therapy is, you still have to do the work yourself. Simply attending group will have very little impact unless you absorb and apply the information that s being provided. The work takes place when you leave the hospital and begin challenging your negative self talk, and confronting your own self-limiting beliefs in real time. You might be surprised at how much of the real you is still in there, ready to fight for a better life.I d give them a minimum of 10 stars and recommend Centennial Peaks to anyone experiencing any kind of mental illness. I am truly grateful for my time here.

Other Forms of Payment
Private insurance refers to any kind of healthcare coverage that isn't from the state or federal government. This includes individual and family plans offered by an employer or purchased from the Insurance Marketplace. Every plan will have different requirements and out of pocket costs so be sure to get the full details before you start treatment.
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Financial aid can take many forms. Centers may have grants or scholarships available to clients who meet eligibility requirements. Programs that receive SAMHSA grants may have financial aid available for those who need treatment as well. Grants and scholarships can help you pai for treatment without having to repay.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Military members, veterans, and eligible dependents have access to specific insurance programs that help them get the care they need. TRICARE and VA insurance can help you access low cost or no cost addiction and mental health treatment. Programs that accept military insurance often have targeted treatment focused on the unique challenges military members, veterans, and their families face.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Outpatient Outpatient Programs (OP) are for those seeking mental rehab or drug rehab, but who also stay at home every night. The main difference between outpatient treatment (OP) and intensive outpatient treatment (IOP) lies in the amount of hours the patient spends at the facility. Most of the time an outpatient program is designed for someone who has completed an inpatient stay and is looking to continue their growth in recovery. Outpatient is not meant to be the starting point, it is commonly referred to as aftercare.
Inpatient Clients entering an inpatient rehab typically require more intensive treatment than those in outpatient care. Clients often start inpatient treatment immediately after completing a detox program. Upon admission, they engage in extensive psychotherapy, receive recovery-focused life skills training, and participate in evidence-based complementary therapies, such as meditation, massage, acupuncture, and/or animal, creative arts, recreational, and experiential therapy.
Intensive Outpatient Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are for those who want or need a very structured treatment program but who also wish to live at home and continue with certain responsibilities (such as work or school). IOP substance abuse treatment programs vary in duration and intensity, and certain outpatient rehab centers will offer individualized treatment programs.
Partial Hospitalization Program For those that don't require round-the-clock care, a partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a short-term option that can be used as a step-down treatment or as an alternative to intensive hospitalization. PHP treatment requires up to 5 days a week of commitment where you'll receive 6 to 8 hours of support every day. While a partial hospitalization program typically requires a commute, telehealth may be available. PHP treatment costs can vary but are often covered by most insurance.
24-Hour Clinical Care Detox can be dangerous if not properly supervised, making 24-hour clinical care in Colorado an essential tool in the recovery process. The constant monitoring by medical professionals helps individuals through critical stages of recovery. Medical professionals and addiction specialists are available 24/7 to provide medications that ease withdrawal symptoms and to treat any other issues that arise.
Medically Assisted Detox Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Professional services are often necessary to recover from addiction. Drug rehab in Colorado provides the expert services needed to address the complex issues of addiction and help individuals start their recovery journey.
A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Programs
Adult Program
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young Adult Program
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Military Program
Serving in the military is both mentally and physically challenging, and can result in trauma that persists even after combat ends. Military programs are tailored to the specific and often complex needs of active duty personnel, veterans, and military families. Clients often access these programs through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA).
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Men and women in Colorado have access to customized individual therapy sessions for drug and alcohol addiction treatment. These sessions explore your life experiences and patterns of substance abuse. Your therapist helps you recognize harmful behaviors and thoughts that empower you to make positive changes for lasting recovery.
Life skills are traits you need to be successful during recovery, such as managing stress and interpersonal relationships. During rehab treatment in Colorado, you and your therapist will identify any skills that need to be developed and work on methods to strengthen them.
