About Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery

Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery (CMAR), located at 8800 Fox Drive Suite 110 in Denver, Colorado, is a CARF-accredited outpatient and residential addiction treatment facility serving Denver and the Thornton, CO area. The center specializes in outpatient medical detox and medication-assisted treatment, with on-site addiction medicine staff available to oversee withdrawal management and recovery planning. CMAR positions itself around the principle that patients should be able to choose their own recovery process — a philosophy reflected in the range of structured program options it offers.

CMAR provides three distinct levels of care confirmed for this location: an Outpatient Program, Medical Detox, and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). The medical detox program allows patients to undergo supervised withdrawal management on an outpatient basis, supported by on-site addiction medicine resources. For those requiring more structured therapeutic support following detox, the IOP offers intensive therapy for substance use disorders, and the standard outpatient program supports ongoing care and long-term stabilization.

The clinical approach at CMAR draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, behavioral therapies, counseling, case management, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). MAT is a core component of the center’s model — using FDA-approved medications as part of a broader treatment plan rather than as a standalone intervention. The facility also addresses co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis, recognizing that mental health conditions frequently intersect with substance use. Aftercare is built into the model, with structured transition to continued care and ongoing outpatient programming available to patients completing higher levels of care.

CMAR serves adults, with dedicated programming available for women. The facility accepts Medicaid, most major private insurance, and self-pay or cash options, making it accessible to a range of financial situations. CARF accreditation signals that the facility has met independent standards for quality and accountability in addiction treatment — a meaningful benchmark for families and individuals evaluating their options in the Denver metro area.

Outpatient Medical Detox in Denver: What CMAR Offers

For individuals who need medically supervised detox but are not seeking or cannot access an inpatient facility, Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery provides outpatient medical detox supported by on-site addiction medicine. This structure allows patients to receive withdrawal management within a clinical setting while maintaining some connection to their daily environment — a model that suits certain patients and circumstances better than residential detox.

CMAR's detox program feeds directly into its continuum of care. Patients who complete detox have access to the Intensive Outpatient Program and standard outpatient services, providing a structured path from acute withdrawal management into sustained recovery support. Aftercare planning and transition to continued care are confirmed components of the program model.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) at Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery

Medication-assisted treatment is central to how CMAR approaches addiction recovery. Rather than treating MAT as a last resort, the facility integrates it as a core clinical tool across its levels of care — from initial detox through outpatient programming. On-site addiction medicine resources support the prescribing and management of FDA-approved medications as part of a broader, individualized clinical plan.

MAT at CMAR is delivered alongside counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, behavioral therapies, and case management. The combination is designed to address both the physical and behavioral dimensions of substance use disorder. For patients with co-occurring mental health conditions, CMAR's dual diagnosis treatment framework allows those conditions to be addressed within the same program rather than requiring separate referrals.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Substance Use Disorders

CMAR's Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for individuals who need structured, frequent therapeutic contact but do not require residential or inpatient placement. The IOP is appropriate both for patients stepping down from medical detox and for those entering treatment who do not need a higher level of care at the outset. It focuses on intensive therapy for substance use disorders, delivered through a combination of behavioral therapies, CBT, and counseling.

Case management is also available within the program, helping patients navigate the practical barriers that often complicate sustained recovery. The IOP is part of a broader continuum that includes standard outpatient programming, so patients are not left without support when they transition out of the more intensive phase of treatment.

Insurance and Payment Options at CMAR

Financial barriers are one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid addiction treatment. Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery accepts Medicaid, most major private insurance, and self-pay or cash arrangements, which positions the facility to serve a broad range of patients in the Denver and Thornton area. The center notes that affordable cash pay options are available for those without insurance coverage.

Patients and families considering CMAR are encouraged to contact the facility directly at (833) 448-0127 to verify insurance benefits and discuss payment options before starting treatment. The facility's CARF accreditation may also be relevant for patients whose insurance carriers require or prefer accredited providers.
