About Gallus Detox Denver LLC
Gallus Detox Denver, located at 5920 S Estes Street, Suite 150 in Littleton, Colorado, is part of the multi-state Gallus Medical Detox Centers network and operates as a dedicated inpatient medical detox facility. The center holds Joint Commission accreditation and is built around what Gallus calls ‘The Gallus Method’ — a proprietary, evidence-based detox approach that emphasizes IV-delivered medications, 24/7 monitoring, and protocol-driven care for complex withdrawal cases.
Clinically, Gallus stands out for its protocol depth. The facility maintains distinct, signature protocols for fentanyl and opioids (the Accelerated Micro Induction protocol, which the program reports lowers withdrawal scores by roughly 42% per day and shortens stays to about seven days), high-dose methadone detox (with documented success at doses up to 350 mg), benzodiazepine taper, polysubstance withdrawal, and NAD+ therapy. The IV route is used because it gives the clinical team tighter control over symptom management than oral dosing alone.
The care team is built for the acuity of detox. ICU- and ER-trained registered nurses provide continuous monitoring, certified behavioral health technicians cover round-the-clock support, and an experienced medical director and seasoned clinical director oversee protocol decisions. The facility is set up for adults including pregnant women and patients who are deaf or hard of hearing, and it serves co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns.
Gallus Denver accepts most major private insurance carriers as well as self-pay, but the facility explicitly states it does not accept Medicaid or Medicare. After detox, the team coordinates aftercare placement and referrals to longer-term treatment professionals, and benzodiazepine patients can continue a tapered schedule as an extension of inpatient care. The facility is the Denver-area expression of a network that also operates in Arizona, Texas, Nevada, and other states.
