Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation

Who is this facility a good fit for?

• Best fit if: Adults looking for withdrawal management, residential treatment, and outpatient programs on the same campus; have co-occurring mental health concerns or complex medical conditions; want to explore 12-Step and other community recovery groups; have private insurance, Medicaid, Health First Colorado plans, or are able to self-pay.

• Not a fit if: Those looking for luxury accommodations and private rooms; prefer a rural treatment setting; not interested in frequent group therapy and medication management when needed; want a self-directed care approach; have Medicare or are uninsured and unable to self-pay.

What to expect

Developing your care plan

• Fast admissions: Admissions are open 24/7, and staff aim to help clients access treatment within 24 hours whenever possible.
• Assessments and evaluations: After an initial phone screening, clients sit down with a staff member for about 90 minutes to complete detailed paperwork. Clinicians then conduct physical and psychiatric exams.
• Client-centered planning: Clients are highly involved in the creation of their individualized treatment plans. They work with an assigned counselor to make a care plan and a relapse prevention plan that addresses their specific needs.

Who you will meet with

• Counselors and therapists: Each client is assigned a primary counselor when they enter residential care. Check-ins occur daily. Therapists and board-certified addiction medicine providers are on staff to work with clients and lead group sessions.
• Medical staff: Registered nurses and licensed clinicians tend to clients’ health needs, including complex medical matters. Nurses are available 24/7 during withdrawal management (detox), and a medical provider is on call.
• Psychiatrists: Addiction psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners work with clients who have co-occurring mental health conditions.
• Case managers and social workers: Work with clients from the start of treatment to help with practical matters such as employment, housing, and legal issues.

Typical schedule

• Detox: During withdrawal management, nurses attend to clients 24/7 to monitor safety and increase comfort as much as possible. Medications for addiction treatment (MAT) for opioids and alcohol may be prescribed as needed.
• Structured days: Between 2 and 3 therapy groups are held every day, mainly in the morning and afternoons. Individual therapy sessions also occur during this time.
• Evidence-based therapies: Clinicians use proven therapies including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and motivational interviewing (MI).
• Community recovery groups: The center offers 12-Step meetings, SMART recovery, and Recovery Dharma. This allows clients to choose what works with their values.

Living experiences and amenities

• Shared accommodations: The large campus has about 50 beds. Rooms are usually shared between 2 clients. There is plenty of outdoor space for clients to walk around and socialize.
• Fitness and recreation: After groups conclude for the day, clients can go to the gym with the option to work with personal trainers. They can also play volleyball and do yoga.
• Communication, visitation, and family support: For the first 72 hours of residential care, no visitors are allowed. Afterward, loved ones can visit on weekends with counselor approval. Clients can use their personal smartphones twice a day to make outgoing calls. Families can attend support groups designed to help them support their loved ones in recovery.

Aftercare

• Step-down treatment: The center offers medical withdrawal management, residential care, an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and continuing outpatient services such as individual counseling. Some virtual options are available. Clients can step up or down between care levels as their needs change.
• Continuing care: Staff can connect clients to community recovery groups, outside providers for counseling and mental health treatment, and alumni support groups.

Pre-admissions experience

We conducted a series of pre-admissions calls, the most recent on September 22, 2026, to evaluate response time, transparency, and patient experience.

When we reached out to CeDAR, the admissions team was calm and responsive. They clearly walked us through length of stay, clinical oversight, detox processes, group frequencies, and amenities. The conversation felt transparent and direct, with detailed explanations around cost and admissions.
