Comprehensive meth treatment near Denver
Methamphetamine, or meth, is a widely misused stimulant. People who use it often get trapped in a cycle that harms their body, life and relationships, and left alone that cycle can be deadly. Professional help can save a life. If you're comparing meth rehabs in Colorado, we treat meth use at every level of care, from detox to outpatient.
Addiction can happen to anyone, at any time. It isn't a moral failing, and with the right plan and a real desire to change, people recover. Our care runs from medically supervised detox to aftercare, and many of our staff are in recovery themselves, so you're supported by people who understand.
Meth and other stimulants
Meth, or "crystal", is a central nervous system stimulant. Stimulants speed up messages between the brain and body, raising heart rate and blood pressure, and bring alertness, energy and bursts of euphoria.
Meth targets the brain's reward centers, releasing dopamine. Over time the brain gets used to it, bringing cravings and withdrawal when you try to stop. It's swallowed, smoked, snorted or injected. Heavy use often brings insomnia, little appetite and drastic weight loss, and some people develop psychosis.
Other stimulants range from caffeine and nicotine to prescription amphetamines and cocaine.

Bre my case worker was amazing in finding me help after treatment . The whole staff was caring and understanding during a hard time . So thankful for all them ! !

Questions about meth treatment
Meth addiction is serious, and you don't have to face it alone. Take the first step with a confidential call.
Do you treat meth addiction?
Yes. We treat methamphetamine use from medically supervised detox through residential treatment, PHP and IOP, with therapy for cravings, mood and the problems that come with stimulant use, and care for co-occurring mental health conditions. The first step is checking your coverage and talking with admissions. See all our levels of care.
Does insurance cover meth treatment?
Most commercial plans cover addiction treatment, but what's covered depends on your plan and the level of care. We're in network with Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR and TRICARE. Use the form on this page or verify your insurance to find out before you call.
Do you take Medicaid for meth treatment?
Health First Colorado (Medicaid) can cover our medical detox and our outpatient programs, PHP and IOP, but not residential treatment. If you have Medicaid and need residential care, admissions can point you to programs that accept it. See our insurance details.
Do I need detox for meth?
Many clients start in medically supervised detox, with 24/7 medical oversight while they stabilize, sleep and eat again. Admissions also checks for alcohol, benzos or opioids, which can make withdrawal riskier. You can start admissions by phone, any day of the week, and they'll recommend where to begin.
What if someone is seeing or hearing things after using?
Hallucinations, paranoia or confusion after using can be stimulant psychosis, which may need emergency care. If someone is in danger, call 911 or go to the nearest ER. Once they're safe, treatment can address it. Read stimulant psychosis vs mental illness.
How long does meth stay in your system?
Meth's effects can last many hours, and it can be detected for days afterward, depending on how it was used and how much. Withdrawal and cravings can last weeks. Our post on how long meth lasts covers effects, duration and recovery.
Is meth addiction a moral failing?
No. Meth changes how the brain's reward system works, which is why cravings are so strong and stopping is so hard. Addiction can happen to anyone. With the right plan and support, people recover, and many of our own staff are in recovery. Read about dual diagnosis and what often sits underneath.
Can my family be involved?
Yes, with your consent. Your loved ones can join family sessions with your therapist and a weekly online family group, and your therapist keeps them updated if you agree. Read about family therapy at Red Rock.
