Outpatient Alcohol Detox Available near Denver, CO

Posted on by cmarnew

Colorado residents struggling with addiction know how difficult it can be to try and quit alcohol without the help of outpatient alcohol detox in Denver. Many people will try to quit alone at first, not realizing how dangerous withdrawal symptoms can be. If they give in to their cravings, they are more likely to drink more and potentially cause an overdose or death. An outpatient detox center provides a safe and compassionate setting where patients can get help with their withdrawal symptoms through medication and behavioral therapy.

At Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, we support men and women in Denver and surrounding areas who are ready to stop letting their addiction interfere with their daily lives. Our outpatient detox program takes your unique symptoms and the severity of your addiction into account so we can better help you reach your goal of lifelong sobriety. For more information about our outpatient alcohol detox in Denver, call 833.448.0127 today to speak with our compassionate staff.

Withdrawal Symptoms You May Experience During Alcohol Detox

Alcohol abuse is very dangerous as it can lead to chronic disease and other serious health conditions. When taken in moderation, one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men, you give your body time to process the alcohol out of your system. If you drink more than the recommended amount daily, you do not give your body enough time to process the alcohol and restore normal functions.

Men and women who drink excessively can experience mild withdrawal symptoms when they first stop drinking. These symptoms can include:

  • Headaches
  • Anxiety
  • Insomnia
  • Stomach cramps
  • Heart murmurs

Those who continue to drink excessively are putting themselves at risk of serious harm. Long-term health risks of alcohol addiction include:

  • Heart, liver, and kidney disease
  • Stroke
  • Weakened immune system
  • Several types of cancer
  • Depression and anxiety

At Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, we want you to know that you don’t need to face alcohol detoxing alone. We provide private and effective alcohol detox in Denver to help you safely detox from alcohol so you can begin healing your mind and body.

What to Expect from an Outpatient Detox Program

Addiction creates several physical and mental health issues that need simultaneous treatment to provide the best form of care. While each person’s experience in treatment will be unique, here are a few things you can expect from an outpatient detox program:

  • Upon first arriving, therapists and medical staff will complete a full evaluation of your physical and mental health to place you in a treatment program that is best suited for the severity of your addiction. They will also process your insurance paperwork and help set up payment plans or find alternative funding for any out-of-pocket costs.
  • For patients whose withdrawal symptoms interfere with their therapy, medication-assisted treatment will reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings so patients can focus entirely on their recovery.
  • Patients will participate in individual therapy to discover what led to the addiction, develop coping and communication skills, and discuss other mental health concerns.
  • Group therapy allows patients to practice their coping and communication skills with their peers. It also gives therapists a chance to watch their interactions with others.
  • Family therapy is a part of addiction recovery to help rebuild trust and restore broken relationships with family and loved ones. It also provides mental health support for all family members and can create a stronger family bond.

Cortland Mathers-Suter

MSSA
Managing Partner

Cortland Mathers-Suter entered the treatment space after his own battle with addiction. He first worked as a peer mentor, before starting clinical work while completing his Masters of Science in social administration from Case Western Reserve University where he focused on policy and direct practice. Cortland moved to Colorado in 2015 to start his first addiction treatment program, AspenRidge Recovery. Under his tenure, AspenRidge Recovery became a two-location, nationally accredited organization. He has since spent the last two years researching and developing what is now Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery (CMAR).

According to Cortland, “Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery is the most important organization I have had the honor to help build. We’re offering a service that seeks to not only improve the lives of our patients but also evolve how we look at medication-assisted treatment in Colorado entirely. Most individuals receiving medication-assisted care only receive medication and urinalysis. Sure you can call that ‘treatment,’ but you can’t call that ‘recovery.’ Our model is about adding the missing recovery component, and thus affords an opportunity to achieve lasting change for each patient and the industry.”

Cortland and his treatment programs have received numerous honors. These include Colorado Business Magazine’s “GenXYZ” award, the 2020 “Titan 100” award, and his program AspenRidge Recovery was both a finalist for “Best Healthcare Company” and named in the “Company’s to Watch” by Colorado Business Magazine as well. He has been interviewed and quoted by numerous publications for his “addiction expertise”, including News Week, 5280 Magazine, the Denver Post, Elephant Journal, Colorado Biz Mag, and TheRecoverySource.org.
