Rehabs that take Kaiser Permanente in Colorado

Kaiser Permanente plans sold in Colorado generally include substance use disorder benefits, and federal and Colorado parity rules require those benefits to be treated comparably to medical and surgical benefits. What that means in practice — which levels of care, how many days, what prior authorization is needed — is set by your specific plan documents, so confirm the details with Kaiser Permanente directly.

Call the behavioral health number on the back of your member card and ask three things: whether the facility you are considering is in network, whether the level of care you need requires prior authorization or a referral, and what your deductible, coinsurance and any day limits are. Then call the facility with the same questions — facilities confirm their own network status, and a directory listing is a starting point, not a verification.

Detox is commonly covered as a medical benefit when it is medically necessary, but Kaiser Permanente detox coverage often depends on an assessment and, in many plans, prior authorization before admission. If someone is in withdrawal and unsafe, seek emergency care first and sort the authorization afterward.

Cost depends entirely on your plan's deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum and whether the facility is in network, so no one can quote you a figure in advance without reading your benefits. Ask Kaiser Permanente for your estimated member responsibility at the specific level of care, and ask the facility for its own billing estimate in writing.

Yes. Thirteen of the fourteen Colorado programs listed here report virtual or telehealth services, which matters on the Western Slope, the San Luis Valley and the eastern plains, where the nearest in-person program may be hours away. Ask whether your plan covers telehealth at the same level as in-person visits.

Ten of the fourteen listed Colorado facilities record Medicaid alongside private insurance. If your circumstances change or you lose commercial coverage mid-treatment, ask the facility's billing office early about Health First Colorado and about continuity of care, rather than waiting until a bill arrives.

Yes — twelve of the fourteen record dual-diagnosis or co-occurring programming, and thirteen treat PTSD and trauma. Borderline personality disorder appears among the conditions treated at five of the fourteen, notably more often than across the directory as a whole.

Eight of the fourteen Colorado facilities listed here report serving adolescents aged 13 to 17, and eight also serve adults 65 and over. Age ranges and program admission criteria are set by each facility, so confirm directly before travelling.
