Questions from referring professionals

How do I refer a client?

Call admissions or send the referral form on this page. We screen your client by phone and check their benefits, often the same day, and let you know the outcome with their consent. See how admissions works.

What are your admission criteria?

Adults 18 and older with a substance use disorder, including those with co-occurring mental health conditions. Admissions confirms medical fit during a short phone assessment. See the addictions we treat.

Will you update me on my client's progress?

Yes, with your client's written consent. We can share updates during treatment and involve you in discharge and aftercare planning. Read about aftercare and alumni support.

Do you accept direct hospital discharges?

Often, yes. We need clinical clearance from the hospital, and the client must be medically stable and able to take part in groups and daily activities. Call admissions to talk through the case. Read about medical detox.

Do you accept clients on MAT?

Yes. Clients on buprenorphine (such as Suboxone) can usually continue it. We don't maintain methadone; clients on methadone are tapered and moved to another medication when appropriate. Read about medication-assisted treatment.

Do you take court-ordered clients?

We work with clients who are involved with the justice system, but we don't accept court-mandated placements. Call admissions to talk through a specific case. See who we help.

What if my client's need is mental health only?

Our sister program, Colorado Mental Health Services, treats clients whose primary need is mental health. For substance use with a co-occurring condition, read about our mental health and addiction treatment.

Which insurance do you accept?

We're in network with Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR and TRICARE. Health First Colorado (Medicaid) covers detox and outpatient care, not residential. We can't bill Medicare. See the insurance we accept.

Are you licensed and accredited?

Yes. Red Rock Recovery Center is licensed in Colorado and accredited, and our clinical team includes licensed counselors and medical staff. Meet our clinical team.
