How to Choose a Rehab Center in Colorado
- Verify OBH Licensure — Confirm active state license before enrollment at cdphe.colorado.gov/obh; unlicensed programs cannot legally bill insurance and may not meet minimum clinical standards
- Check TJC or CARF Accreditation — Joint Commission or CARF accreditation signals compliance with national quality benchmarks beyond minimum state licensing requirements
- Require a Formal ASAM Assessment — All admissions should include a six-dimensional ASAM evaluation to determine appropriate level of care; facilities that skip this step are a red flag
- Confirm MAT Availability — If opioid or alcohol use disorder is involved, verify the facility prescribes buprenorphine, naltrexone (Vivitrol), or methadone per SAMHSA guidelines
- Request a Verification of Benefits (VOB) — Ask admissions to run a VOB against your insurance before you commit; in-network facilities significantly reduce out-of-pocket cost
