Frequently asked questions about Guardian Recovery
Answered from this center's own federal listing — not from marketing copy.
Guardian Recovery appears in SAMHSA's federal treatment locator, the U.S. government's official directory of licensed substance-use providers, and reports the following credentials: The Joint Commission, State-licensed 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, Guardian Recovery accepts Medicaid (Health First Colorado), private insurance, military insurance / TRICARE and self-payment. Coverage details change, so confirm with the center at 303-529-1997 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 Guardian Recovery reports free or low-cost options and accepts Medicaid, so a lack of money is not automatically a closed door. Ask them directly what you would pay.
Guardian Recovery reports offering Residential and Detox care. Its medical detox covers alcohol detoxification, benzodiazepines detoxification, cocaine detoxification, methamphetamines detoxification and opioids detoxification. The right level depends on how severe your use is and whether withdrawal needs medical supervision — alcohol and benzodiazepine withdrawal in particular can be dangerous without it.
Its listed treatment approaches include anger management, brief intervention, cognitive behavioral therapy, contingency management/motivational incentives, motivational interviewing and matrix model. 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.
Guardian Recovery reports providing services in Sign language services for the deaf and hard of hearing. If language is a barrier for you or a family member, ask when you call — it changes how much of the treatment actually lands.
