Admissions at Colorado Rehab
In a crisis, every hour counts. One call to our Colorado Springs team starts a confidential assessment, insurance verification, and a clear plan — often with same-day admission.
The Admissions Process
Admission to Colorado Rehab follows four clear steps. First, the call: reach our team at (719) 694-7177, any hour, for a confidential conversation. Second, the assessment: a licensed clinician evaluates your history and substance use to determine the right level of care. Third, insurance verification: we confirm your benefits and explain coverage before you commit. Fourth, admission: we coordinate arrival and begin care — frequently the same day, because a crisis cannot wait for a waitlist.
If a clinical assessment indicates a different level of care is more appropriate, we will refer you accordingly. Every call is confidential and carries no obligation.

What to Bring
Packing for treatment is simple. We recommend bringing:
- Valid photo ID and your insurance card

- Athletic shoes for mountain walks and outdoor fitness
- Toiletries that do not list alcohol as an ingredient
- A small amount of cash and modest comfort items, such as family photos
Please leave at home alcohol, drugs, weapons, and valuables. Phone use is permitted during limited hours, family visits are scheduled on weekends, and pets are not permitted on campus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to hit "rock bottom" before treatment can help?
Many people believe treatment only works once someone has lost everything. Actually, the opposite is true: the earlier a person enters care, the better the outcomes. You do not need a catastrophe to qualify for help — reaching out during a crisis, or even before one, is exactly the right time to call.
Isn't addiction just a lack of willpower?
It's a common assumption, but the science says otherwise. Addiction is a medical condition that physically changes the brain's reward, stress, and memory systems. That's why we treat it medically — with detox, medication-assisted treatment, and evidence-based therapy — rather than expecting willpower to do the job alone.
Is medical detox really necessary, or can I just quit on my own?
People often think they can tough out withdrawal at home. In reality, withdrawal from alcohol, benzodiazepines, and barbiturates can cause seizures and can be life-threatening. Medically supervised detox — with 24/7 monitoring and medication — keeps you safe and far more comfortable than going it alone.
Doesn't going to rehab mean putting my whole life on hold?
Not necessarily. While residential care is immersive, our outpatient PHP and IOP programs are designed so you can keep working and stay near family while in treatment. Recovery is meant to fit into your life in Colorado Springs, not erase it.
What insurance do you accept?
Colorado Rehab works with most major carriers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Molina Healthcare, Magellan, Ambetter, Centene, WellCare, and Oscar Health, plus Medicare and Medicaid. We verify your benefits at admission, usually the same day.
How do I get started?
Call (719) 694-7177 any time, day or night. An admissions specialist completes a confidential assessment, verifies insurance, and coordinates your start of care — often the same day you call.
