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.

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.

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.

Access to Recovery

Treatment

Alcoholism

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.

Drug Addiction

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.

Dual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

Opioid Addiction

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.

Substance Abuse

Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.

Clinical Services

Group Therapy

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.

Accreditations

State License

State Licenses are permits issued by government agencies that allow rehab organizations to conduct business legally within a certain geographical area. Typically, the kind of program a rehab facility offers, along with its physical location, determines which licenses are required to operate legally.

This place is a joke and the staff is rude

I took their alcohol education class back in 2019 and had no issues other than the obvious money grubbing. All the way in 2024, I am finally able to submit all of my paper work to reinstate my license and after ~5 years of working and waiting and jumping through all of these hoops for this moment, Choices decided to forget CRUCIAL/BASIC information needed on my discharge form. I thought a simple phone call would fix the situation but after I was finally able to reach someone, they had zero capability of aiding me aside from "wait until Saturday". After seeing all of these other 1 star reviews, I didn't expect anything less than another hassle. I'm sure there are better run/more well organized organizations out there.

You can do better than this. You have to demand a receipt because if not then they add extra charges. They lie and say they will forgive a class then they go back 2 weeks later and charge you for the class. I paid for a book that I never opened. Just another way for people to profit off others crimes. Kam the original owner is a scam artist. Go to bts or anywhere else. I promise you it will be nothing but trouble. Avg course is 435. I ended up paying over 550.00 for these classes.

This place will do whatever they can to ensure you do not succeed and are paying them money for as long as they can possibly keep you. The woman at the front desk is absolutely one of the most inhumane individuals I have EVER had the displeasure of interacting with. She has no soul and will be thrilled to have ruined your day and your progress if she can. Do not go here. They are not human and they delight in your failure.

Unfortunately I was differed to this location after staffing issues occurred at the North office in Broomfield/Federal Heights. This locations office staff act as though it's a burden to complete requirements of their job. The counselor for the DUI group has 0 curriculum, and it's a scam for money. On top of not having anyone doing the requirements of book work, Ben is cold and literally doesn't retain any information about others, cuts you off in the middle of "check ins"anf I was group shamed weekely. Not only on my addiction issues but personal and even physical appearance. Do not seek any kind of treatment here.

0 star if I could. Please know that this facility is expensive for clients and that there are other DUI Education and Therapy classes out there. Apparently business is going under and can't afford to pay their facilitator's and they breach those contracts of facilitator's and continue not to pay months later. When working there, several clients complained of office staff too. Is not a recommendation of mine and would not recommend to clients.

I can not to begin to explain how absolutely terribly self serving this place is. The front office staff is really nice and really helpful however the doctor I saw for my voluntary evaluation only had me seeking treatment in mind. It would not have mattered what answers were provided, he of course just wanted me to have to enroll in the program. From what I could tell he literally read off a check list to diagnose you without taking anything else into account. When my lawyer received the results he was floored and assured me he would never again send a client to such an organization. I find it incredible deploring and just sad for anyone seeking help through this place.

I tried to seek voluntary group anger management counseling to continue self growth here. After a 20-30 minute phone conversation explaining why I was seeking counseling and scheduling an intake I showed up for my appointment and it didn't even seem like they knew why i was there. I was shown another clients confidential paperwork, and then given domestic violence paperwork to start DV classes ?? My confusion propmpted me to ask if I was filling out the right papers, and this started a conversation with the receptionist christina which was completely unprofessional. I was generalized as a criminal, consistently referred to as "dude" and when i wasn't going to give her the paperwork i had filled out she became aggressive and i felt like she was going to rip them out of my hands so i just gave it to her. I then asked her if she would please shred the paperwork immediately and she refused. I stated that they did not have my consent and that i expected they get shredded. She then stated that she "deals with "people like me" everyday. As I sat waiting for my ride she then tried to provoke an argument all the while another employee sat idly by without saying anything about the receptionists behavior. The counselor who i thought was doing my intake had started a class and i was told i would have to wait 1.5 hrs to talk to him even though i had a scheduled appointment. I left. That evening after his class we spoke on the phone..I was offered no apology, no sympathy and felt like if i had been there due to a court order that the agency would have filed a bad report with a probation officer causing more trouble. It was passive threatening. Overall very very unprofessional and poor service to include client confidentiality violations. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
