<p><strong>ABOUT DENVER CARES DETOXIFICATION AND DRUG AND ALCOHOL REHABILITATION</strong></p> <p>Located around the corner from the Colorado State Capitol, Denver CARES is a <strong>100-bed, non-medical, clinically managed substance abuse treatment facility</strong> offering detox and residential programming for adult men and women in downtown Denver.</p> <p>Denver CARES also responds to more than 10,000 emergency calls each year through its <strong>emergency service patrol (ESP).</strong></p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>All prospective clients must complete a <strong>comprehensive substance abuse assessment</strong> upon entry to determine if treatment is needed. While detoxing from either non-opiate drugs or alcohol, clients receive <strong>well-balanced meals and an introductory education on addiction</strong>.</p> <p>With treatment stays that average anywhere between 45 to 90 days, residential programming consists primarily of one-on-one as well as group counseling, life skills training, and relapse prevention. <strong>Access to 12-step support groups</strong>, alongside referrals to outpatient and aftercare services, are also provided.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>A 24/7 facility, Denver CARES staffs a team of <strong>registered nurses</strong>, behavioral health technicians, <strong>certified addiction counselors</strong>, and licensed mental health clinicians.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>There is currently no information provided by the 100-bed facility regarding its living arrangements and related offerings. Nevertheless, an anonymous Rehabs.com survey respondent gave five stars for the facility’s cleanliness, and three stars for both its accommodations and meal quality.</p> <p><strong>WHAT ALUMNI SAY</strong></p> <p>Rehabs.com has yet to receive any reviews from this facility’s alumni.</p> <p>On Google, however, where 17 individuals gave an <strong>average rating of 2.2 out of five stars</strong><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a></small>, Chris, a representative reviewer, commented, "This place is a joke." This sentiment was echoed by John, who wrote, "Care is very poor here." However, a recent review by Estefania dismissed these negative remarks, instead praising the staff and noting that they are "caring, and certainly wouldn't be willing to work there if they didn't believe in the mission of CARES."</p> <p>Reviewers overwhelmingly expressed great concern about the conditions of the facility. “Denver care is a sloppy dump of a homeless shelter,” Damien, one of the several one-star reviewers furious with the facility, wrote. Santiago, in contrast, gave Denver CARES five stars for its great classes and instructors. “I came here for the classes, not the detox.”</p> <p><strong>WHAT FRIENDS & FAMILY SAY</strong></p> <p>Despite noting a <strong>lack of funding</strong> and recidivism rates that “seems to be high,” the sole anonymous reviewer, a family member, considered treatment <strong>highly effective, even affordable</strong>. This polled loved one gave five-star ratings to the amount of family participation and the experience and training of the staff, but gave three stars for counseling options and only one star for holistic offerings. </p> <p><strong>FINANCING</strong></p> <p>Denver Health participates with many health insurance and managed Medicare plans. For the uninsured, a variety of <strong>charity care and financial assistance programs</strong> are available.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://goo.gl/wbFLkG" target="_blank">https://goo.gl/wbFLkG</a></small></p>
