CuraWest

CuraWest provides detox, short-term residential, and residential addiction treatment services. They have nurses and other medical personnel on site 24/7 to closely monitor each client. If needed or preferred, they use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease withdrawal and make the process more comfortable. After detox, which can be a standalone treatment, clients transition to short-term or standard residential rehab. CuraWest uses a customized blend of evidence-based and holistic treatments for a whole-person approach to recovery.
Clients begin treatment with a thorough medical assessment, which takes into account their history with addiction, family history, and more. A psychiatric evaluation helps CuraWest diagnose co-occurring mental health conditions, if present. CuraWest tailors each aspect of detox and residential treatment to the findings of their assessments, clients’ preferences, and their needs.
CuraWest uses trauma-informed therapy to address underlying trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They also involve family if desired, with family therapy sessions on site or virtually, and family psychoeducational workshops. CuraWest teaches relapse prevention skills to clients and their families too, helping all become educated on recovery, triggers, and healthy boundaries.
CuraWest’s location in downtown Denver connects clients to nature, too. Along with sweeping views, clients can go on group hikes and garden in nearby Botanical Gardens. Their holistic activities include Reiki, yoga, and guided meditation. Most of CuraWest’s rooms are private. Their modern property provides treatment in a welcoming and comfortable space, helping clients focus on their recovery.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like CuraWest provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

CuraWest offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. CuraWest works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
