Care that treats you like a person
In Lakewood, reaching out for help means getting a real voice on the line — no phone trees to navigate, no scripted pitch to sit through. You call, and someone on our team actually answers, listens, and takes in what you’re going through, because we know the feel of that first exchange runs through everything that follows. And when opioids are in the picture, that first call can be the one that keeps a person alive.
Mental health struggles and substance use honor no boundary, and Jefferson County carries that weight the same as everywhere else. Across Colorado, upward of 1,800 people are lost to overdose in a typical year, and opioids — increasingly cut with fentanyl — are behind the majority of those deaths. At the same time, close to one in five adults in the area will face a mental health condition over any twelve-month stretch. What troubles us most is how seldom those folks ever reach care — blocked by the price, exhausted by stigma, or simply in the dark about where to begin. Tearing down those barriers is exactly why we’ve built things the way we have.
That’s why our entire approach leans into flexible outpatient scheduling — some groups meeting early in the day, others waiting until a shift is done — with medication-assisted treatment ready whenever it’s the right fit. Getting better shouldn’t force you to surrender your income, your studies, or the hours you spend with the people who matter most. It should settle into the Lakewood life you already know rather than upend it. And your privacy is something we defend without exception, from the moment you pick up the phone through every visit down the road.
On top of that, we won’t allow insurance questions to become the wall you can’t get past. Before you agree to a single thing, we’ll go over your benefits and options together — MAT coverage included — and put them in plain language that truly makes sense, so what’s ahead reads like a clear path forward instead of a fog of uncertainty.
You don't have to be at your worst to ask for help.
We’ll have someone who listens without judging call you right back!

FAQ

anything
No. Our outpatient and intensive outpatient programs are designed so you can keep up with work, school, and family. We offer day and evening options, and MAT appointments are scheduled to fit around your life.
Many major insurance plans cover outpatient opioid treatment, including medication-assisted treatment. When you call, we’ll help verify your specific benefits so you know your options up front. Coverage varies by plan.
You’re not alone — many of our calls come from loved ones. We can talk through the situation with you, including how to respond if you’re worried about an overdose, and explain how to support someone toward treatment.
Opioid use disorder (OUD) is a chronic condition where a person can’t control their use of prescription painkillers, heroin, or other opioids despite negative consequences to their health, relationships, or daily life. It ranges from mild to severe and is recognized as a treatable medical condition.
Common signs include using more or longer than intended, unsuccessful attempts to cut back, strong cravings, neglecting responsibilities, continued use despite problems, needing more of the drug to feel the same effect (tolerance), and experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using.
There’s no single cause. Many cases begin with a legitimate prescription for pain after an injury or surgery. Genetics, family history, mental health conditions, trauma, environment, and chronic pain all contribute. Many people develop OUD through a combination of these factors.
Opioid misuse refers to taking opioids in a way other than prescribed, or using them without a prescription, while addiction (dependence) involves physical and psychological reliance on the drug, including cravings and withdrawal. Addiction is generally more severe and requires medical support to address safely.
Warning signs include using to cope with stress, pain, or emotions, hiding your use, feeling unable to stop, prioritizing opioids over other activities, and experiencing withdrawal symptoms. If use is affecting your life and you can’t stop, it may be time to seek help.
Opioid withdrawal is rarely life-threatening on its own, but it’s intensely uncomfortable — nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle aches, and insomnia are common. The real danger comes after: tolerance drops quickly during withdrawal, so a relapse at a previous dose carries a much higher overdose risk. This is why medically supervised detox and a clear treatment plan matter so much.
Some people attempt recovery with support groups or willpower alone, but opioid use disorder has one of the higher relapse and overdose risks of any addiction. Medication-assisted treatment (buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone) combined with professional care significantly improves outcomes and safety compared to going it alone.
Common program lengths are 30, 60, and 90 days, though many people benefit from longer-term MAT and outpatient support that continues well beyond that. Research shows that longer treatment durations, especially when MAT is involved, often lead to better long-term outcomes.
Inpatient (residential) rehab provides 24/7 care in a live-in facility, ideal for severe addiction, unstable home environments, or higher-risk withdrawal. Outpatient rehab allows you to live at home while attending scheduled treatment and MAT appointments, offering more flexibility for work and family.
Costs vary widely based on program type, length, location, and whether MAT is included. Outpatient programs are generally more affordable than residential, and many facilities offer payment plans, sliding-scale fees, or accept insurance to reduce out-of-pocket expenses.
Options include medically supervised detox, inpatient and outpatient rehab, medication-assisted treatment (buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone), behavioral therapies (like CBT), support groups, and ongoing aftercare. Effective treatment usually combines several of these approaches, with MAT playing a central role for many people.
Yes. Research consistently shows that medication-assisted treatment combined with counseling reduces opioid use, lowers overdose risk, and improves quality of life. Like any chronic condition, ongoing management and support improve long-term success.
Aftercare is key to maintaining recovery. This may include continued MAT, ongoing therapy, support groups (like NA or SMART Recovery), sober living homes, and relapse-prevention strategies — including naloxone access — to help you stay safe and on track long-term.
