Adams Recovery Center

They offer outpatient, inpatient residential, detox and telemedicine. Which one fits is usually decided by how much structure the first few weeks need, and Loveland has 8 other centers within 14 miles.

They detox from alcohol, benzodiazepines, cocaine, methamphetamines and opioids, so the first stage and the treatment after it can happen in one place rather than across two trips to Loveland.

Yes, they treat 65 and over, which is less common than it should be and rarer still outside a city the size of Loveland.

Some of what they do can happen remotely. Ask which parts, because it is rarely all of them and the 8 centers near Loveland differ on it.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone, which means the medication side is handled here rather than referred out to somewhere else in Loveland.

Family sessions, education evenings and a visiting schedule are the usual shape of it. What a center can tell a family member is limited by privacy law, and that limit holds even for a parent of an adult. Ask what exists for a relative who is not ready to sit in a room with the person using.

Treatment records for substance use are held under a federal rule that is stricter than the one covering ordinary medical records. There are narrow exceptions, including a medical emergency and a court order, and they are narrower than people assume. Ask who the center is allowed to speak to, and make sure the answer matches what you want.

Documents, prescriptions, clothing, and the phone numbers you would struggle to replace. Vitamins and anything over the counter are treated as medication and get checked the same way. Ask whether you can bring your own pillow, because the answer is often yes and it helps.
