Frequently Asked Questions
Most rehab facilities in Colorado accept private insurance, self-pay, and sometimes offer financing options. It's best to contact the admissions department of your chosen facility to verify your insurance benefits and discuss payment plans. State-funded options may also be available for those who qualify.
Inpatient (or residential) treatment requires you to live at the facility 24/7, providing an immersive, highly structured environment. Outpatient treatment (like PHP or IOP) allows you to live at home while attending scheduled therapy sessions, offering more flexibility to maintain work or family commitments.
Colorado is a top destination for addiction treatment, known for its healing Rocky Mountain environment, holistic approaches, and a strong focus on adventure and experiential therapies. The state's natural beauty provides a serene and inspiring backdrop for recovery.
You should typically bring about a week's worth of comfortable clothing (including layers for changing weather), essential toiletries (alcohol-free), your ID and insurance card, and a list of important phone numbers. Most facilities will provide a detailed packing list. Leave valuables, electronics, and non-prescribed medications at home.
