Health First Colorado is Colorado's Medicaid program. It covers a full range of substance use disorder services for eligible members, including outpatient and intensive outpatient care, medication-assisted treatment, withdrawal management (detox), partial hospitalization, residential treatment and hospital inpatient care. There are no copays for substance use services.
Behavioral health benefits are managed by four Regional Accountable Entities (RAEs), assigned by where you live or where your primary care provider is. Residential care usually needs prior authorization from your RAE, while admission to medically monitored withdrawal management does not. If you have Health First Colorado, your RAE can tell you which programs are in network.
See Colorado programs that accept Medicaid and state-funded options in Colorado.
Have questions about Medicaid or private insurance? Call (833) 589-6933 to talk with our admissions helpline. It's free and confidential.
Since July 2025, regional Behavioral Health Administrative Services Organizations (BHASOs) coordinate care for Coloradans who are uninsured or underinsured. They fund safety-net providers and can connect you with a program you can afford. Many Colorado programs also offer sliding-scale fees or accept state and federal treatment funding.
The Colorado Behavioral Health Administration (BHA) licenses substance use disorder programs. Since January 2024, treatment programs operate under a BHA behavioral health entity license, which replaced the older approvals issued by other state agencies.
Before you commit, ask the program for its BHA license and confirm it covers the services you need. Accreditation from The Joint Commission or CARF is a good added sign. Our guide on how to choose a rehab explains other quality checks and red flags.
Colorado law allows involuntary commitment for substance use disorders in limited situations:
Colorado law also lets a minor consent to their own substance use treatment with a licensed physician, without a parent's consent. Our guide on how to help a loved one covers non-legal approaches that encourage treatment.
Before you agree to admission, ask:
If you're worried about withdrawal, ask how the program handles medical detox. Withdrawal from alcohol and benzodiazepines can be life-threatening and should be medically supervised.
Major treatment hubs include:
Use the filters on this page to find detox centers, residential programs, medication-assisted treatment or programs for veterans.
Staying in Colorado is usually easiest if you have Health First Colorado, since your RAE generally covers in-network providers in the state. If you have private insurance, check whether a program is in your network before traveling. Our guide on whether insurance covers rehab explains networks, deductibles and prior authorization. Learn more about Medicaid coverage in general.
Focus on licensing, the right level of care and a plan for aftercare. For help comparing programs and checking your coverage, call (833) 589-6933 to reach our admissions helpline. If you or someone you love is in danger, call 911, or call or text 988 for the Colorado Mental Health Line.
