Denver Health and Hosp Authority Outpatient Behavioral Health Services

Denver Health's outpatient behavioral health program provides flexible scheduling for adults in recovery who need ongoing support while maintaining work, family, and community commitments. The intensive outpatient program offers more structured care for those transitioning from higher levels of treatment or requiring additional recovery support.

Both programs integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with medical management, creating a foundation for long-term recovery. Telehealth services extend the reach of these outpatient programs, particularly valuable for participants in sober living arrangements or those with transportation challenges in the Denver metro area.

The program specializes in medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorders, offering methadone maintenance alongside buprenorphine and naltrexone options. This comprehensive approach to opioid addiction treatment combines FDA-approved medications with counseling and behavioral therapies.

Medical oversight from Denver Health's healthcare team ensures safe medication management while participants engage in ongoing recovery work. This integration of medical and behavioral interventions supports individuals seeking alternatives to traditional abstinence-only approaches in their recovery journey.

Recognition that many individuals in recovery face co-occurring mental health conditions shapes the program's dual diagnosis approach. Specialized treatment addresses trauma and PTSD alongside substance use disorders, acknowledging the interconnected nature of these conditions.

The recovery center's trauma-informed framework creates safety for participants with complex histories while building skills for managing both addiction and mental health symptoms. This comprehensive approach supports long-term recovery outcomes for individuals with multiple treatment needs.

Denver Health's commitment to serving all community members regardless of financial circumstances removes barriers that often prevent access to quality addiction treatment. The program accepts Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and offers payment assistance for those paying out-of-pocket.

Specialized services for pregnant women, seniors, and deaf or hard of hearing individuals demonstrate the program's dedication to inclusive care. The Pavilion K location on Denver Health's main campus provides easy access to additional medical services that may support overall health during recovery.
