Opioid Addiction Treatment in Denver, CO
Opioid addiction is a complex and deeply personal struggle, but recovery is possible with the right support. At Mile High Recovery Center, our opioid rehab in Denver provides a compassionate, stigma-free environment where clients can begin their path toward substance use recovery with confidence and dignity.
We combine medical expertise, trauma-informed therapy, and community-based care to help each person rebuild their life. Our opioid treatment programs are rooted in clinical best practices and designed to support the whole person – body, mind, and spirit – through every stage of recovery.
What is Opioid Addiction?
Opioid addiction is a chronic and progressive condition that alters the brain’s chemistry, particularly the areas responsible for pain, emotion, and reward. What may begin as short-term pain management with medications like oxycodone, morphine, or hydrocodone can quickly escalate into long-term dependence as the brain craves the euphoric effects of the drug.
Over time, the body builds a tolerance, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect, leading to serious side effects and physical deterioration. These may include chronic constipation, sleep disturbances, mood swings, depression, and memory issues. In more severe cases, respiratory problems and a higher risk of overdose become life-threatening realities.
At Mile High Recovery, our Denver treatment center addresses the neurological and emotional toll of addiction, offering personalized support, proven therapies, and tools for lasting recovery and wellness.
Benefits of Opioid Addiction Treatment
Opioid addiction treatment is most effective when guided by professional therapy, offering individuals the structure and support needed to heal emotionally, physically, and mentally.
Key benefits of opioid treatment include:
Stabilizes mood and brain chemistry disrupted by opioid use.
Provides trauma-focused therapy to heal past pain.
Promotes mindfulness and emotional regulation.
Builds confidence through experiential and adventure therapy.
Cultivates purpose through creative and vocational outlets.
Reconnects clients with family and community.
Reduces isolation with group-based recovery support.
Encourages lasting lifestyle changes for sustainable wellness.
Our goal is to help you move from survival to stability, and from dependency to independence – one step at a time.

Treatment
How We Treat Opioid Addiction
Treatment for opioid addiction at Mile High is built around you, not the substance. Your plan combines evidence-based therapy, medical care when needed, and a community that lasts after discharge.
Residential Treatment
12 beds and 24/7 staff. Most stays run 20 to 30 days.
Partial Hospitalization (PHP)
Full-day programming five days a week.
Intensive Outpatient (IOP)
Day or evening groups so you can keep working.
Medication-Assisted Treatment

Anxiety, depression and trauma treated alongside substance use.
Alumni Program

How long is opioid addiction treatment?
Most residential stays run 20 to 30 days, and we recommend 30 or more when insurance allows. PHP and IOP extend care for weeks to months after that.
Do I need detox first?
Opioid withdrawal is rarely fatal but very hard to get through alone. Suboxone can ease it and reduce relapse risk. Our admissions team will help you figure it out on the first call.
Does insurance cover opioid addiction treatment?
Usually, yes. We accept Colorado Medicaid and are in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Kaiser Permanente, Tricare and MultiPlan.
Can my family be involved?
Yes. Family therapy and family groups are part of treatment, and loved ones can call admissions on your behalf.
