Who oversees treatment
The Behavioral Health Administration (BHA), part of the Colorado Department of Human Services, serves as the State Single Authority for substance abuse services and also oversees licensing and designation of behavioral health providers.
Prescription monitoring
The Colorado PDMP is run by the Division of Professions and Occupations within the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA); it is the state's system for tracking controlled substance prescriptions.
Public coverage for treatment
Colorado's Medicaid program is Health First Colorado, which covers substance use treatment across levels of care, including outpatient care, withdrawal management, residential treatment and medication-assisted treatment.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Colorado's 911 Good Samaritan statute gives immunity from arrest and prosecution for certain drug and alcohol possession offenses to a person who reports an overdose in good faith or helps the person in need, and to the person who overdosed, if they stay and cooperate with responders.
Court-ordered treatment
Colorado has a civil process under C.R.S. 27-81-111 and 27-81-112 with two stages: emergency commitment to a withdrawal management program, and court-ordered involuntary commitment to treatment as a last resort. The state page uses these formal terms rather than a common nickname.

Inpatient / residentialDual diagnosisWhat to know about ketamine
Ketamine is used legitimately in hospitals and in supervised depression treatment, which can make it hard to see when use has become a problem. Using it to cope, using more often, or using despite urinary pain or memory problems are warning signs.
Because many people who misuse ketamine also live with depression or anxiety, programs that treat both at once tend to fit best. Read signs of ketamine addiction.
What ketamine rehab looks like
There is no approved medication for ketamine addiction, so rehab is built on therapy: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, group work and relapse prevention. Because many people who misuse ketamine also have depression, anxiety or trauma, programs that treat mental health and substance use together tend to work best.
The programs on this page are residential or dual-diagnosis programs. Confirm with each program near Colorado that it treats ketamine use.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does the level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Plans regulated by federal parity law cannot set stricter limits on addiction care than on comparable medical care. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
