About

About CuraWest

CuraWest is a residential detox and addiction treatment facility situated at 2535 South Downing Street in Denver, Colorado. Operating around the clock, the center offers medically supervised withdrawal management and inpatient care for men and women, including those who are deaf or hard of hearing. As part of the Guardian Recovery network, CuraWest functions as one of Denver’s dedicated inpatient detox and rehab resources.

The facility’s confirmed levels of care include Medical Detox and Residential Treatment. Medical detox at CuraWest means patients receive 24-hour monitoring through the acute withdrawal phase before transitioning into residential programming — a continuum that keeps care under one roof rather than requiring transfers between providers. Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) is available as part of the clinical model.

CuraWest’s treatment approach addresses co-occurring disorders and trauma alongside addiction, with dual diagnosis therapy built into the program. Therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, trauma therapy, family therapy, and group therapy, among others. Relapse prevention and 12 Step programming are also incorporated, giving patients structured clinical and peer-support frameworks during residential care.

CuraWest serves men, women, and individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing. The facility accepts a broad range of insurance carriers — including Medicaid, TRICARE, Anthem, Molina, Highmark, and Blue Cross Blue Shield — alongside self-pay options. An alumni program provides aftercare support following discharge. For anyone weighing same-day or urgent placement decisions in the Denver area, CuraWest can be reached directly at (303) 529-1997.

Medical Detox in Denver: What CuraWest Offers

CuraWest provides inpatient medical detox as its first level of care, positioned specifically for individuals who need 24-hour clinical monitoring through the withdrawal process. The facility operates continuously, meaning clinical staff are available at all hours — a critical factor for anyone managing acute withdrawal symptoms that can shift quickly in severity.

Following medical detox, patients can move directly into CuraWest's residential treatment program at the same location. This built-in continuum reduces the gap that often occurs when patients must transition between separate facilities, and it allows treatment teams to carry clinical context from detox into the residential phase without interruption.

Dual Diagnosis and Trauma Treatment During Residential Care

CuraWest's residential program is structured to address co-occurring disorders and trauma alongside addiction — not as separate tracks but as integrated components of inpatient care. Confirmed therapeutic methods include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), dual diagnosis therapy, and trauma therapy, providing clinically grounded options for patients whose substance use intersects with mental health conditions.

Family therapy and group therapy are also part of the program, and relapse prevention is built into the residential curriculum. For individuals whose addiction history includes significant trauma or a diagnosed co-occurring condition, CuraWest's ability to treat both simultaneously within a residential setting is a meaningful clinical distinction.

Insurance Coverage and Payment Options at CuraWest

CuraWest accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including Medicaid (Health First Colorado), TRICARE, Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Anthem, Highmark, Molina, Colorado Access, Carefirst, Bright Healthcare, Independence BCBS, First Health Network, Friday Health Plans, and Colorado Community Health Alliance. Self-pay and private insurance are also accepted payment methods.

For families or individuals trying to confirm coverage before making a placement decision, contacting CuraWest directly at (303) 529-1997 is the most direct route to verifying benefits and availability. The facility's 24-hour operating schedule means intake inquiries can be made at any time.

Who CuraWest Serves

CuraWest's inpatient detox and residential programs are open to men and women. The facility also specifically serves individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing, which is a notable accessibility feature not universally available at residential detox centers. Services are provided in English.
