Using more than one? One plan covers it

Polysubstance use is common: alcohol with benzodiazepines, stimulants used to offset opioids, or fentanyl hidden in other drugs without the user knowing. Some mixes make withdrawal more dangerous, so your plan, and your detox if you need one, is built around everything you're using, not one substance at a time. Read about opioid and fentanyl treatment.

What's new in Colorado's drug supply

Newer substances show up in pills and powders sold as something else. We treat them alongside the drugs they're mixed with, along with mephedrone, MDMA, ketamine and other party drugs.

Questions about addiction treatment

Do you treat my substance?

We treat alcohol, opioids and fentanyl, benzodiazepines, kratom and 7-OH, prescription drugs, cocaine, marijuana and meth, along with mixes of them. If what you're using isn't listed, call anyway: admissions will tell you honestly whether we're the right fit or help you find a better one. You can start admissions by phone, any day of the week.

Can you treat more than one substance at once?

Yes. Most people who call are using more than one substance, such as alcohol with benzos or fentanyl mixed into other drugs. Your plan covers all of them, including medical detox when withdrawal is a risk, and continues through every step of care. See how our levels of care fit together.

Do I need detox first?

It depends on the substance and how much you've been using. Alcohol, benzodiazepines, opioids and kratom often need medical detox, because stopping suddenly can be dangerous or very hard to get through. Admissions asks about your use on the first call and recommends where to start. Read about our medical detox program.

Do you treat mental health along with addiction?

Yes. Depression, anxiety, trauma and other co-occurring conditions are treated together with substance use, with psychiatric care on the team for evaluation and medication. If mental health is your main concern rather than substance use, admissions will point you to the right program. Read about dual diagnosis treatment.

Do you treat gambling, sex or porn addiction?

No. Our programs are built for substance use, so we don't treat gambling, sex or porn addiction on their own. If one of these comes up alongside drinking or drug use, your therapist can work on it as part of your plan. Admissions can suggest other resources; read about who we help.

Do you treat teenagers?

No. We treat adults 18 and older, from young adults to people over 65, including people traveling to Colorado for treatment. If you're looking for help for a teenager, admissions can suggest where to start. Read more about who we help and the people our programs serve.

How long is treatment?

It depends on the substance, your history and the level of care you start in. Detox usually takes days to about a week and a half, residential care a few weeks, and outpatient care continues after that. Admissions gives you a plan on the first call. Read how long rehab lasts.

Do you offer Suboxone or other medications?

For clients enrolled in our programs, yes, when it's medically appropriate. Our medical team can use medication to ease withdrawal and support recovery during treatment. We're not a standalone Suboxone or methadone clinic. Read about medication-assisted treatment at Red Rock.

I'm calling for someone else. Can you help?

Yes. Many of our calls come from family members. Admissions walks you through the next steps, explains our programs and talks through what you can do if your loved one isn't ready yet. Our page for families covers how to help someone you love.

Is treatment covered by insurance?

We're in network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR and TRICARE. Coverage depends on your plan and your level of care. Admissions checks your benefits before you come in. See the insurance we accept.

How do I know if it's an addiction?

Signs include needing more to get the same effect, trying and failing to cut back, withdrawal when you stop, and use getting in the way of work, family or health. If you're asking, it's worth a confidential call. Our self-check post, am I addicted?, walks through the questions to ask yourself.
