Accepted Insurance

Midwestern Colorado Mental Health Center – Outpatient works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact to verify your specific insurance provider.

Other Forms of Payment

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.

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.

Sliding scale payments are based on a client's income and family size. The goal is to make treatment affordable to everyone. By taking these factors into account, addiction recovery care providers help ensure that your treatment does not become a financial burden to you or your family, eliminating one barrier to care.

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.

Addiction Treatments

Levels of Care

outpatient iconOutpatient
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.

Treatments

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.

Mental health rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from mental illnesses like bipolar disorder, clinical depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, and more. Mental health professionals at these facilities are trained to understand and treat mental health issues, both in individual and group settings.

Programs

teen-program thumbnail image
Teen Program
Teen programs are designed to address the unique pressures teens face, pressures that can drive them to experiment with dangerous, addictive substances. They need programs that meet them exactly where they are and give them tools for long-term recovery. Therapy can help teenagers understand and work through underlying issues so they can reclaim the life ahead of them.
adult-program thumbnail image
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.
seniors-program thumbnail image
Seniors Program
Nearly one million adults age 65 and older live with a substance use disorder. Treatment providers who specialize in senior care understand the social, psychological, and physical effects of aging and how they relate to recovery. They can help clients address particular challenges and risks they may face as they get older such as overdosing and medication interactions and dependencies.
hearing-impaired-program thumbnail image
Hearing Impaired Program
A sensory disability, such as hearing impairment, can compound the challenges of addiction recovery. Drug rehabs that are specially designed to accommodate the needs of persons with hearing impairments will include special accessibility features and accommodations to make treatment as comfortable and effective as possible. This may include access to American Sign Language interpreters.
young-adult-program thumbnail image
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.

Clinical Services

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a therapy modality that focuses on the relationship between one's thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It is used to establish and allow for healthy responses to thoughts and feelings (instead of unhealthy responses, like using drugs or alcohol). CBT has been proven effective for recovering addicts of all kinds, and is used to strengthen a patient's own self-awareness and ability to self-regulate. CBT allows individuals to monitor their own emotional state, become more adept at communicating with others, and manage stress without needing to engage in substance abuse.

Whether a marriage or other committed relationship, an intimate partnership is one of the most important aspects of a person's life. Drug and alcohol addiction affects both members of a couple in deep and meaningful ways, as does rehab and recovery. Couples therapy and other couples-focused treatment programs are significant parts of exploring triggers of addiction, as well as learning how to build healthy patterns to support ongoing sobriety.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder.

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. Genetic factors may be at play when it comes to drug and alcohol addiction, as well as mental health issues. Family dynamics often play a critical role in addiction triggers, and if properly educated, family members can be a strong source of support when it comes to rehabilitation.

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.

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

I have been going to the center for mental health for over 15 years I am bipolar and have been having troubles getting an appointment with one of Axis's new doctors. I have run out of my medication for over 2 weeks now and being bipolar I should not ever miss my medications they don't care. They are not for the patient they are for their bottom line.

Since Dr. Morley and James left and were replaced by Dr. S and her assistant, I am appalled at the negligence in care. They left my child without meds and no refill after telling the pharmacy they were sending it over. First of all, this is a medication she s been on for 3 years. Second, it s a medication you cannot go off of abruptly. Third, after my pharmacy called 3 times and I left 3 messages marked urgent, it took 6 days to get a call back. I cannot believe they left my kid without her medication. Our pharmacist was shocked and said to go the ER to get it. I m furious.

I had an amazing experience here. As a teenager it's hard to open up to people, the people here where so kind and so respectful. I can't thank this place enough for getting me out of a dark place and letting me know it's okay to open up to people. Thank you guys.

This is the worst "doctor's office" I've ever dealt with. Expect cancelled appointments, long waits and no call backs. The doctors were helpful but the office is terrible. You can't even get an appointment scheduled. I would recommend any other mental health service provider you can find. Unfortunately, resources are limited in this region.

This is the most pathetic mental health clinic I have ever visited. Not only are they so dull that they refuse so set appointments but they also show very little care for their clients. No matter how much I attempted to explain to them walking in gives me extremely high anxiety and stress they did not care. I find it amazing how someone supposedly dedicated to the mental health of someone would so brashly brush off thier feelings. The employees are also pathetic and show no interest in helping anyone other than there own paychecks.

If you want to create more stress in your life, this is a great place to receive care...the front desk staff at the Miami Road facility is rude and the finance department is only available on their terms. I understand that the VA is a difficult organization to work with, but if I take the time to arrange correspondence and MMHC finance staff does not want to answer when they call to address open balance, that's not my problem, or my job. The point is, it should not take six months to a year and tremendous efforts from the patient to fulfill an open balance. While I had an awful experience all around, 7 months after ending treatment with this facility, the situation is finally being rectified. The finance director has contacted me directly to inform me that the finance staff will be retrained so that this does not happen to any other veterans, and to take responsibility for the billing errors. While I still would not recommend this facility, I can appreciate taking responsibility for mistakes and acknowledging that additional training is needed.

9/1/2020 This is my first negative review. But I feel it is important to let those in crisis and their families know that COVID19 protocols are not consistently followed at this facility. First of all the masks provided to patients are not adequate there is no way to fit the mask around the nose. But, more importantly the staff allows patients to pull masks down or go without a mask completely. This was extremely worrisome. I was there in crisis and this only added additional anxiety. I alerted staff but it continued throughout my 5 day stay. In addition, I was assigned a room which shared a bathroom with a male patient. I was unable to lock my side of the bathroom door which meant he could enter my bedroom via the bathroom completely out of sight of staff. This caused me extreme anxiety and it was very difficult to sleep. I felt this was inappropriate and dangerous. I let the admitting attendant know but nothing was done. On day four I had decided the risk of COVID19 and sharing a bathroom with a man was creating more anxiety than I came in with so I asked to be released. Only then was the man moved to a different location in the building and I was assured the mask rules would be enforced. So at the request of the therapist I stayed. But, the next day COVID19 rules continued to be ignored. I had to just show I was better and get out of there. I did not feel safe during my stay, I was terrified about the male entering my room during the night and felt at risk of exposure to COVID19 each day. The Center needs to improve COVID19 measures. Better masks, staff must be diligent in ensuring masks are properly covering the nose and mouth. Not sharing items, markers, pencils, etc.. Phones should be cleaned for each use and more. Above all a woman should never be placed in a sleeping area with a male, especially in a mental health facility. I left the facility in a worse place than when I arrived.Beware!
