<p><strong>ABOUT CEDAR - CENTER FOR DEPENDENCY, ADDICTION, AND REHABILITATION</strong></p> <p>Located at the University of Colorado’s Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, Colo., the Center for Dependency, Addiction, and Rehabilitation (CeDAR) offers <strong>residential and outpatient treatment for adults</strong> struggling with substance abuse. Length of stay varies depending on the individual client. <strong>Extended residential care</strong> typically lasts between <strong>60 to 120 days</strong>. Those with <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/dual-diagnosis-recovery/" target="_blank">co-occurring conditions</a> are also welcomed, and <strong>detox services are offered on-site</strong>.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>CeDAR utilizes evidenced-based psychosocial, medical, and psychiatric approaches. Treatment is based on the <strong>12-step model of recovery</strong>. Upon entry, clients undergo an assessment and, if needed, <strong>medically-monitored detoxification for one to three days</strong> in the facility's dedicated 20-bed Assessment and Detox Unit (ADU). Within Colorado, CeDAR is one of 17 substance abuse treatment facilities that offers <a href="https://wwwdasis.samhsa.gov/webt/state_data/CO16.pdf" target="_blank">residential, non-hospital detoxification</a>. </p> <p>Residential program clients participate in <strong>individual and group therapy</strong>, as well as addiction education lectures, adjunctive therapy, and addiction psychiatry. When appropriate, patients may participate in an <strong>individualized nutritional plan</strong>. Specialized addiction treatment tracks are available for professionals and athletes.</p> <p>The facility also offers a <strong>12-week intensive outpatient program (IOP)</strong>, which often serves as a step-down from residential treatment. Other <a href="http://www.recovery.org/topics/extended-recovery-programs/" target="_blank">aftercare options</a> are available via CeDAR’s robust Alumni Recovery Support Services Program, including weekly groups, lectures, workshops, and volunteer opportunities.</p> <p>A <strong>five-day family program</strong> is available two times a month for loved ones, as well as weekly family support meetings. CeDAR also offers a <strong>non-denominational spiritual care program</strong> for clients wishing to involve spirituality in their recovery.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>In addition to medical doctors, nurses, and psychiatrists, CeDAR's multidisciplinary treatment team includes licensed mental health counselors, licensed professional counselors, a chaplain, licensed social workers, and licensed alcohol and drug counselors.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>Patients in the 30-day intensive residential treatment program stay in CeDAR’s <strong>gender-specific 20-bed cottages</strong> on the facility’s seven-acre campus. Clients live in <strong>shared bedrooms with a private bathroom</strong>. Amenities include movie nights, art therapy, multi-sport activities, a dining hall, spiritual center, and a fitness center with strength training and yoga classes. Cottages are staffed 24/7 by the Behavioral Health team.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Four alumni polled by Rehabs.com to date submitted <strong>mixed feedback, skewed positive</strong>: three highly positive, one negative. The positive reviewers highlighted the <strong>“well-run” program, supportive staff, and “beautiful” surroundings</strong>. Offering five-star ratings for the effectiveness of group counseling and the facility's ability to resolve conflict, W.R.C. wrote: “CeDAR was an great treatment center. First class staff and accommodations. Would recommend it to anyone who is serious about getting sober.” </p> <p>Another alum added: “The accommodations, food and physical fitness facility were of excellent quality and the grounds upon which the facility is situated was peaceful and allowed me to focus on my treatment in a calm and undisturbed manner.” Although the negative reviewer K.Q. referenced some favorable aspects of the IOP, such as the “bright and attentive” doctors, they criticized the poor explanation of group topics and unhelpful group sessions.</p> <p>Secondary review sites yielded <strong>generally positive opinions</strong> about CeDAR to date: 4.1 out of five stars based on 9 reviews on Google and 4.5 stars based on 31 reviews on Facebook, which the organization can manage. <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a></small> Positive reviewers (alumni, loved ones) praised the staff, programs, and all-inclusive approach of the facility, which changed their life, such as Thomas on Facebook, who wrote: "Combined with location, services and professionalism. This treatment is one of the best in the state." </p> <p>Negative reviewers claimed the facility cared more for money than patient welfare, criticized aftercare treatment as deficient, and cited isolated detox and treatment issues. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>CeDAR accepts both in-network and out-of-network insurance plans and offers financial assistance to clients who qualify. It currently does not accept Medicaid or Medicare.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.google.com/search?q=CeDAR+-+Center+for+Dependency%2C+Addiction%2C+and+Rehabilitation&oq=CeDAR+-+Center+for+Dependency%2C+Addiction%2C+and+Rehabilitation&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l3.378j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x876c6352a60590fb:0x9a006cda0831d2c0,1,,," target="_blank">GoogleReviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/CedarColorado/reviews/" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/CedarColorado/reviews/</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-3"><sup>[3]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.yelp.com/biz/cedar-center-for-dependency-addiction-and-rehabilitation-aurora" target="_blank">https://www.yelp.com/biz/cedar-center-for-dependency-addiction-and-rehabilitation-aurora</a></small></p>
