Frequently asked questions about Community Medical Services
Answered from this center's own federal listing — not from marketing copy.
Community Medical Services appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: CARF, SAMHSA-certified OTP and DEA-registered. You can verify this yourself at findtreatment.gov — we are not affiliated with this center and are not paid by it.
According to its federal listing, Community Medical Services accepts Medicaid (Health First Colorado), Medicare, private insurance and self-payment. It also offers a sliding fee scale, meaning what you pay is based on your income. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 720-549-8450 before you rely on it.
We don't publish prices, because no directory can quote you an accurate one — the real cost depends on your coverage, the level of care, and how long you stay. What we can tell you is that Community Medical Services reports a sliding fee scale based on income and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.

Its listed treatment approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management/motivational incentives, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, substance use disorder counseling and trauma-related counseling. Evidence-based approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management and motivational interviewing are what research consistently supports — it's fair to ask any center which of these it actually practices.
