Stimulant Rehab in Colorado

Treatment rules and programs in Colorado

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.

What to know about prescription stimulants

Prescription stimulants include amphetamines such as Adderall, Vyvanse and Dexedrine, and methylphenidate products such as Ritalin and Concerta. They are Schedule II controlled substances. Taken as prescribed they help many people with ADHD; misused, they can lead to dependence, sleep problems, anxiety and heart strain.

Treatment for stimulant addiction centers on behavioral approaches, with contingency management having some of the strongest evidence. Learn how stimulant addiction is treated.

Therapies that work for stimulant addiction

Unlike opioid addiction, stimulant addiction has no FDA-approved medication, so the therapy you get is the treatment. Look for programs near Colorado that offer contingency management, cognitive behavioral therapy or the Matrix Model, delivered with enough intensity: residential care or several sessions a week.

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.
