Finding treatment in Colorado
shouldn't be this hard

Most people start with a search and end up calling a dozen places that can’t help them. We call Colorado programs ourselves and write down what they actually say — who they take, what insurance they really accept, and who they turn away.

*Takes about 3 minutes. No email required to see your results.

We call them ourselves

Every program listed here got a phone call from us. We ask what insurance they actually take, who they turn away, and how someone gets in the door.

Plain English

Detox, residential, PHP, IOP, sober living. What each one actually means, roughly what it costs, and which one you are probably looking for.

Colorado only

We do not list programs in Florida or Arizona. One state, covered properly, so the answers stay current instead of going stale in a directory.

No email wall

See your quiz results without handing over your email address. Book a consultation only if you decide you want one.

Nobody knows how to do this the first time.

Start with the quiz and we'll help you figure out what kind of help you're looking for.

For Yourself

Answer a few questions about what is going on, and we will tell you what level of care fits and which Colorado programs match.

For a Loved One

How to start the conversation, what you can and cannot do for them, and how to find support for yourself while you do it.

Still Figuring It Out

No pressure and no email required. Read what the levels of care actually mean before you decide anything.

The information families need isn't published anywhere.

Programs don’t publish their wait times, whether they’re taking new Medicaid clients, or who they’ll turn away. The words — detox, residential, PHP, IOP — go unexplained. Insurance answers change depending on who you ask. And most people are working it out while exhausted and out of time.

We call the programs ourselves and write down what they say. We explain what the words mean. The quiz is free and gives you a straight answer in about three minutes.
