Care that treats you like a person

In Littleton, looking for support means reaching a real person, plain and simple — no push-button menus, no memorized pitch. You dial, and someone on our staff picks up, listens, and lets you say what you need to say. That first conversation matters to us because its tone echoes through everything that follows. And when opioids are in the picture, that one call can be the difference that keeps someone here.

Struggles with mental health and substance use pay no mind to any boundary, and Jefferson County shoulders that reality the same as anywhere else. Across Colorado, upward of 1,800 people are lost to overdose in a typical year, with opioids — more and more of them fentanyl-involved — responsible for the majority of those deaths. Meanwhile, close to one in five adults in the area will contend with a mental health condition at some point over any twelve months. What sits heaviest with us is how seldom they ever make it to care — turned away by cost, exhausted by judgment, or simply unaware there’s anywhere to turn. Knocking down those obstacles is the whole point of how we’ve set things up.

That’s why we lean fully into flexible outpatient scheduling — groups that gather early in the day and others that meet once a shift is done — with medication-assisted treatment on hand for anyone who needs it. Healing shouldn’t demand that you give up your paycheck, your education, or the time you spend with the people you love. It should fold into the Littleton life you’re already living rather than pull it out from under you. And confidentiality is something we hold onto tightly — from the moment you make that first call through every session that comes after.

We also make certain that coverage questions never become the place where things stall for you. Before you commit to anything, we’ll sit down with your benefits and options together — what applies to MAT included — and put it all in words that genuinely make sense, so the way forward looks like a true route ahead instead of a fog you can’t see through.

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.
