Where to Find an Opioid Recovery Center in Boulder

Posted on by cmarnew

Tens of millions of people in the US abuse opioids every year, with a few million developing tolerance and dependence on the drugs. Few of those who develop an addiction go to rehab, but many people choose to self-medicate. Those who try to stop without expert help experience relapse because of the overwhelming withdrawal symptoms. At the Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery (CMAR), we agree that checking into an opioid recovery center will help you overcome opioid abuse and regain sobriety. Contact CMAR at 833.448.0127 to learn more about our opioid recovery center near Boulder, CO.

Why Do You Need an Opioid Recovery Center?

Hundreds of Americans die daily because of opioid abuse and addiction-related cases. Furthermore, the number of opioid overdose deaths in America increased considerably in 2018 from the previous year. The statistics point to the dire need for opioids abuse treatment.

If you are struggling with an opioid use disorder, your top priority should be finding an opioid treatment program that will facilitate permanent recovery. Ask yourself: What unique aspect must such a program contain to ensure the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms do not force you to relapse?

Some of the opioid withdrawal symptoms that require immediate rehab help at an outpatient treatment program include:

  • Hypertension
  • Body tremors and shaking
  • Trouble concentrating
  • Slurred speech
  • Breathing problems
  • Emotional numbness
  • Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea

An ideal recovery program offers customized opioid treatment to meet your individual needs. Different people face varied challenges that require personalized treatment plans. Those who do not access personalized care face a wide array of problems after recovery.

Where can you find a recovery center that promises you reliable aftercare and support once you complete your addiction treatment?

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.
