Addiction Treatment Guides
Longer, slower reads for those who are looking to do their research about addiction before making a decision. All treatment guides
What Is Residential Treatment?: what a live-in program involves, who needs it, how long it runs, and how it differs from inpatient and outpatient care.
High-Functioning Alcoholism: for the person who still makes it to work. The signs, why it is easy to miss, and what treatment looks like when life appears to be going fine.
Dual Diagnosis and Co-Occurring Disorders: why addiction and mental health get treated together, and what that looks like at Mile High.
Reading is a good first step. Talking to someone is a better second one.
Insurance Resources for Addiction Treatment in Colorado
Cost is the question most people ask second and worry about first. These pages answer it.
Insurances We Accept: every plan we are in-network with, Colorado Medicaid first, with a page for each carrier.
Insurance Verification: a confidential form. Admissions checks your benefits, usually the same day, and tells you what is covered before you commit to anything.
Colorado Medicaid and Rehab: what Health First Colorado covers at Mile High and how to use it.
Carrier pages: Blue Cross Blue Shield | Aetna | Cigna | Tricare | MultiPlan | Kaiser Permanente

Our Levels of Care
You can start with us at whatever level fits where you are right now. Each level connects to the next, with the same community and clinical team as you move through them.

Dual diagnosis
What We Treat
We treat substance use disorders and the mental health conditions that so often come with them, at the same time, with the same team.
Alcohol, fentanyl and other opioids, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, benzodiazepines, prescription drugs, marijuana and hallucinogens.
Anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD and schizoaffective disorder, with psychiatric assessment at admission and medication management when it makes clinical sense.
Congress Park, Denver
Our Denver Treatment Center
Our treatment center is at 1633 Fillmore Street in Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood, a few minutes from downtown and under an hour from the foothills. The residential program has 12 beds, so you will know everyone on your clinical team by the end of the first week. Group rooms, a shared kitchen and outdoor space are part of daily life, and our nine sober living homes across Denver give clients a place to live during and after outpatient care.
Since 2016
Who We Are
Mile High Recovery Center began in 2016 when Brice Hancock opened one sober house in Denver. Today there are nine homes and a treatment center accredited by The Joint Commission and certified by LegitScript. A lot of our staff are in recovery themselves, which is why nobody here is going to judge you, and why hundreds of alumni still show up to groups every week.
