At Denver Health, clients undergo a personalized assessment and are assigned to a case management team. FDA-approved prescriptions, including methadone, Vivitrol, Antabuse, naltrexone/Vivitrol, and Suboxone, are used to ease withdrawal pains and reduce cravings. Clients also participate in drug/urine tests and take-home dosing to prevent relapse.

In addition to medication management, clients also participate in counseling to address co-occurring mental and behavioral health disorders. Clients use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and peer support to develop resilience and promote healthy daily living habits. Denver Health may make referrals to outside treatment centers or within its network for specialized substance abuse programs.
