When seeking addiction recovery treatment, one of the biggest concerns for many individuals and families is how to pay for it. In Colorado, as in other states, there are various insurance options and payment models available for those struggling with substance use disorders. However, navigating these options can often be confusing and overwhelming, especially during an already stressful time. Our team will guide you through the insurance options available for addiction recovery in Colorado and talk about our unique, non-profit treatment center which offers a hybrid payment model designed to make high-quality addiction treatment accessible and affordable.

Types of Insurance That Cover Addiction Treatment

There are several types of health insurance that cover addiction recovery treatment in Colorado. These include:

  • Private Insurance: Most private health insurance plans cover addiction treatment services, including detox, inpatient rehab, outpatient therapy, and aftercare programs. Coverage depends on your specific plan and the level of benefits provided. Some of the major private insurance companies in Colorado that may offer addiction treatment coverage include Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare.
  • Medicaid: Colorado Medicaid provides coverage for addiction treatment services, including outpatient therapy, medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and residential treatment for individuals who qualify. This is a crucial option for low-income individuals and families in Colorado who need access to affordable care.
  • Medicare: For individuals over the age of 65 or those with disabilities, Medicare can provide coverage for addiction treatment, including inpatient and outpatient services, counseling, and MAT.
  • Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs): Some employers offer EAPs as part of their benefits package. These programs often cover a limited number of therapy or counseling sessions and may help pay for addiction treatment services. However, EAPs typically provide short-term assistance and may require additional coverage or payment for more extensive treatment.
  • Veterans Affairs (VA) Benefits: For veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs offers a range of addiction treatment services, including detox, counseling, and residential care. VA benefits can be used at VA treatment centers or approved community providers.

While insurance often covers a portion of the cost of addiction treatment, it is essential to understand what is included in your specific plan. Not all treatments are fully covered, and some may require co-pays, deductibles, or out-of-pocket costs.

Spero Recovery: A Unique Hybrid Payment Model

man sitting in therapy talking to therapistAt Spero Recovery, we understand that navigating the complexities of insurance and payment options can be challenging, especially when seeking help for addiction. That’s why we’ve developed a hybrid payment model that offers flexibility and support for individuals and families.

Our residential program, which offers a safe, supportive environment for those in the early stages of recovery, operates on a cash-pay basis. This allows us to provide the highest level of care while keeping costs transparent. We believe in offering straightforward pricing without hidden fees, making it easier for families to plan and budget for treatment.

For our outpatient programs, which include therapy, counseling, and continued support as individuals transition back into their daily lives, we accept most major insurance plans. This means that for those seeking ongoing care through our outpatient services, insurance can significantly reduce the cost of treatment. Our team works closely with your insurance provider to ensure you receive the maximum benefits available under your plan.

We understand that not everyone has insurance coverage or the ability to pay out-of-pocket for treatment. That’s where the Spero Foundation comes in. As a non-profit organization, we are deeply committed to expanding access to addiction treatment for those in need, regardless of their financial situation. Through the Spero Foundation, we offer scholarships for treatment, ensuring that individuals who may not have the means to afford care can still receive the help they need.

You can make a difference with your donation to our Spero Foundation. Contributions from donors like you help people from all backgrounds receive effective treatment for substance use disorders. A donation to Spero Recovery Center not only helps someone in need get the help they deserve, but you’ll also be helping us in our mission to educate the Evergreen, Colorado, and Denver communities about substance abuse prevention.

You can make a one-time donation or choose to give monthly, quarterly, or annually. You can also designate your gift in memorial of a loved one or in celebration of a sobriety milestone.
