About Denver Recovery Group Lakewood

Denver Recovery Group Lakewood is a SAMHSA-registered addiction-treatment facility in Denver, CO. The facility's programming is outpatient (Outpatient, MAT), not residential. This page frames the questions that matter most when evaluating a specific program — the ones that separate useful candidates from marginal ones.

Care levels at Denver Recovery Group Lakewood

Denver Recovery Group Lakewood is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient, MAT) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential. ASAM Criteria 4e is the benchmark framework for matching patients to appropriate intensity. Most major payer medical-necessity documents reference it. An outside ASAM-aligned assessment, prior to admission, is the protection against misplacement.

Insurance and payment

Denver Recovery Group Lakewood accepts both Medicaid and commercial insurance, which is the broadest payer profile and typically correlates with programs that operate at scale across the economic spectrum. The facility also accepts TRICARE or military benefits. The operational prerequisite is written documentation: in-network status for your specific plan product, deductible accumulation, coinsurance rate, prior-authorization status. Admissions without these four documented carry material risk of post-admission financial disagreement.

Before you call

The operational due diligence on Denver Recovery Group Lakewood comes down to three documents: ASAM-aligned level-of-care documentation matching independent clinical assessment, written Verification of Benefits for your specific plan product, written MAT policy. The facility's documented pharmacotherapy offerings suggest MAT is available — confirm the specific medications and prescriber access during the admissions conversation.

Questions about this facility

Common questions about Denver Recovery Group Lakewood

Answered from public sources: SAMHSA listings, federal parity regulations, and our own admissions helpline intake notes.

Is Denver Recovery Group Lakewood listed in the SAMHSA Treatment Services Locator?

Denver Recovery Group Lakewood appears in our directory because it is sourced from the federal SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator. The SAMHSA listing is the federal reference for licensed substance-use programs in the United States — inclusion requires active state licensure. If you want to verify independently, you can search by name or ZIP at findtreatment.gov.

What insurance does Denver Recovery Group Lakewood accept?

Insurance network lists change frequently, so the definitive answer is always to call the facility directly or call our helpline — we verify benefits on the line, for free. In general, most SAMHSA-listed programs in CO accept at least one commercial insurer plus Medicaid. Out-of-network coverage depends on your specific plan's behavioral-health benefits.

How do I know if this level of care is right for me?

The clinical answer comes from an ASAM assessment — a six-dimension evaluation of withdrawal risk, medical conditions, mental state, readiness to change, relapse potential, and living environment. A good intake conversation at Denver Recovery Group Lakewood (or any SAMHSA-listed program) will walk through those dimensions before recommending a level of care. If you would like help thinking through the fit first, take our 2-minute self-assessment.

Is calling confidential? Will my employer find out?

Substance-use treatment records are protected under 42 CFR Part 2 — a federal rule stricter than HIPAA. An employer cannot access your records without a court order or your written consent. Insurance claims will reflect that behavioral-health services were provided, but not the diagnosis or the content. Calls to our helpline and to Denver Recovery Group Lakewood directly are confidential.

What happens if I call the helpline instead of the facility?

Our helpline ((866) 777-GUIDE) is answered 24/7 by licensed admissions counselors. They will ask about insurance, location preference, and clinical priorities, then match you against in-network verified programs. You can request Denver Recovery Group Lakewood specifically. There is no obligation to admit — the call is informational.
