BHG Denver Treatment Center
Denver, Colorado
4 treatment centers across Colorado that work with Ambetter.

Inpatient care, outpatient rehab, medication-assisted treatment and structured aftercare are all reported by each of the four Colorado treatment centers listed here — meaning a person can, in principle, move from the most intensive stage to the least without changing organizations or restarting the authorization process. All four also report treating alcohol and opioid use, and three of the four report treating fentanyl and heroin specifically.
Rehabs that take Ambetter in Colorado are listed on this page exactly as each facility reports its own coverage. That is a starting point for a phone call, not a guarantee: network participation changes, and what your particular Ambetter plan pays toward a given level of care depends on your policy, your deductible and whether prior authorization is required.
Beyond Ambetter, all four listed Colorado facilities report accepting Medicaid, Medicare and military Tricare, and all four report offering financing or payment plans. That matters in a state where household coverage can shift mid-treatment.
Three of the four hold Joint Commission accreditation, three are SAMHSA-listed and three report state licensure; one holds CARF accreditation. Ambetter plans often ask about accreditation and licensure when authorizing a level of care.
Two of the four listed Colorado facilities report services in ASL and one reports Spanish-language services, alongside English at all four. Confirm interpreter availability with admissions, since it can depend on scheduling.
Colorado geography shapes access more than most states. People on the Eastern Plains, the San Luis Valley or the Western Slope often drive to a Front Range metro for residential care, then step down to outpatient or telehealth once they are home — worth asking about before admission, because a program that can continue remotely may be workable even if the building is three hours and a mountain pass away.
Colorado's insurance regulator enforces parity requirements on marketplace plans, which broadly means behavioral health benefits cannot be applied more restrictively than medical and surgical ones. That does not fix the cost, and it does not settle any single authorization decision, but it does give you grounds to ask for a written explanation and to appeal if a request is denied.
Most Ambetter plans sold on Colorado's marketplace include behavioral health and substance use treatment as an essential health benefit, but the level of care covered, the prior-authorization steps and the share you pay depend on your specific plan and metal tier. Read your plan documents and call the member number on your card to confirm before admission.
All four Colorado facilities in this directory report offering medication-assisted treatment alongside inpatient and outpatient care, and all four say they treat opioid use. Whether your plan covers a given medication, and at what cost, is a question for your Ambetter pharmacy and behavioral health benefits.
Call the behavioral health number printed on your Ambetter card and ask whether the specific facility and the specific level of care are in network, whether prior authorization is required, and what your deductible and coinsurance look like this plan year. Then call the facility's admissions line and ask them to confirm the same details from their side.
Colorado detox is usually authorized on medical necessity rather than chosen freely, so Ambetter detox coverage typically depends on a clinical assessment. Ask the facility how they document that assessment and how quickly they can submit it, since that step often determines the start date.
Out-of-pocket cost for alcohol treatment varies with your deductible, your coinsurance, whether the program is inpatient or outpatient, and whether the facility is in network. No honest figure can be quoted in advance — get a written estimate from the facility and a benefits quote from Ambetter, and compare the two.
Ambetter is a commercial marketplace product and Health First Colorado is the state Medicaid program; a person is generally enrolled in one or the other. All four listed Colorado facilities report accepting Medicaid as well as Ambetter, which matters if your income or eligibility changes partway through treatment.
Distance is not usually the deciding factor — network status is. A program two hours away on the Front Range may be in network when the closest option is not, and all four listed Colorado facilities report outpatient and aftercare tracks that can reduce how long you need to stay near the building.
One of the four Colorado facilities listed here reports serving adolescents aged 13 to 17; all four report serving young adults from 18, adults, and seniors 65 and over. Confirm the age range directly with admissions, since program capacity changes.
Write down the two calls you need to make: the behavioral health line on the back of your Ambetter card, and the admissions number for any Colorado facility you are considering. Ask both the same questions — in-network status, prior authorization, expected out-of-pocket — and note who told you what. If you or someone with you is in immediate danger, call or text 988, or call 911.
