Valley Hope of Parker

They provide inpatient residential, telemedicine and detox. Whichever one you start at the usual pattern is to step down through the levels rather than stop at once, and Englewood is the closest place to carry that on if you move.

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

Their programs are for adults from 26 to 64 and young adults from 18 to 25. The group you sit in is usually built around the age band, which in Parker can mean one group rather than several.

8 other centers are within about 14 miles, the nearest of them 2.6 miles away in Parker.

They prescribe buprenorphine and naltrexone. Medication and counseling together is the standard of care for opioid use rather than an either or, and not every place near Parker offers both.

Veterans are one of the 4 groups they offer a dedicated program for.

Most plans cover addiction treatment to some degree, because federal parity rules put it alongside other medical care. A plan can approve the detox and then decline the residential stay that was meant to follow it. Ask what the appeal process is before you need it.

A medical leave is the normal route, and the reason given to an employer can stay general. An employer generally needs the dates and a clinician's confirmation rather than the condition itself. Ask the program what its letter to an employer actually says.
