Our Program
The CuraWest Experience
The CuraWest Experience embodies a holistic journey towards recovery in the vibrant and supportive community of Denver, Colorado. At CuraWest, we understand that addiction is a multifaceted challenge, impacting not only the physical but also the mental, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of an individual’s life. For this reason, we have developed an integrated, multi-staged program that emphasizes a unique approach to addiction recovery, ensuring that each client receives a treatment plan tailored specifically to their unique needs and circumstances.
Our journey begins with a critical first step: a medically supervised detoxification in our state-of-the-art inpatient detox center. Recognizing the potential discomforts and risks associated with drug or alcohol withdrawal, our goal is to ensure a safe, secure, and pain-free experience. This phase is bolstered by the expertise of our licensed medical professionals, who employ cutting-edge protocols and compassionate care to stabilize the client physically while setting the groundwork for the next stages of recovery.
Following detoxification, clients are presented with the option to seamlessly transition into the residential treatment phase. This segment of our program is designed to address the broader spectrum of recovery, beyond physical stabilization. It is here that clients engage deeply with various therapeutic modalities, both traditional and innovative, to foster mental, emotional, and spiritual healing. The residential environment offers a nurturing space for clients to reflect, heal, and grow, supported by a team of dedicated professionals.
Medical Detoxification
Medical detox is a crucial stage on every journey of addiction recovery. The physical and psychological symptoms associated with drug and alcohol withdrawal can be unpredictable and can result in serious complications when left untreated. At CuraWest we have composed a team of licensed medical professionals and compassionate support staff members who work together to provide the safest, most comfortable detox experience possible. As soon as you arrive at our Denver, Colorado detox center, you will undergo a detailed medical assessment. The assessment will help our treatment team determine which detox methods are going to be the most beneficial for your unique case. In some instances, medications will be administered under the supervision of a nurse practitioner. In addition to medication management we offer therapeutic care, holistic detox methods, and a thorough introduction to the remainder of the recovery process. Clients are encouraged to take advantage of the services we offer, and are welcome to relax in their well-appointed bedrooms as often as needed. Meals are provided and ancillary services focus on a return to physical health. Once withdrawal symptoms conclude and physical stabilization has been achieved, you have the option of transitioning into the residential portion of our program. This transition will be detailed in your personalized aftercare plan.Residential Inpatient
Residential inpatient treatment is an important part of many addiction recovery journeys for a number of reasons. First of all, the period of time immediately following detox is the most vulnerable for those who are new to sobriety. Cravings are intense, and a person hasn’t developed the skills they need to stay sober through challenging situations and uncomfortable emotions. Residential treatment provides a safe, secure, and substance-free environment during this particularly challenging time. Additionally, clients have access to a range of proven treatment options — all in one place. At CuraWest our residential program combines traditional talk therapy with innovative holistic approaches to recovery. Clients undergo full days of individual, group, and family therapy, interwoven with group outings, educational workshops, peer support meetings, and a range of other services and activities. We focus on healing the mind, body and spirit as we help lay a solid foundation for continued sobriety. Contact us today to learn more about our residential treatment program.Aftercare Planning
Upon the successful completion of medical detox and inpatient treatment, it is imperative for clients to adhere to their personal aftercare plans. Given the chronic and potentially relapsing nature of substance use disorders, ongoing treatment and support are crucial for long-term recovery. Typically, this involves ongoing engagement in individual therapy sessions and active participation in structured support systems such as the 12 Step program or equivalent alternatives. For individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions, continued psychiatric care may also be advised to ensure a comprehensive approach to treatment.
Throughout the duration of detox and residential treatment, a tailored aftercare plan is meticulously crafted for each client. This process is a collaborative effort involving the client, their dedicated case manager, and the wider clinical team. The objective is to formulate a plan that is not only tailored to the client’s specific needs and recovery goals but also considers their future commitments and lifestyle to ensure practicality and efficacy.
At CuraWest, our commitment extends beyond the initial stages of treatment; we are deeply invested in the ongoing success and wellbeing of our clients. Our goal is to empower them to not only achieve but to thrive in a life of sobriety that is both rewarding and fulfilling. This holistic approach underscores our dedication to supporting each client through their journey of recovery and beyond, ensuring they have the necessary tools and support to navigate the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
CuraWest offers a comprehensive range of therapies and services during its medical detox and residential treatment programs, focusing on a holistic approach to recovery from addiction.

Often traveling out of your home town is the best option for treatment. The temptation to leave early and relapse is much lower when you are away from the people and places that are associated with your substance use. CuraWest offers a complimentary car service for individuals in the surrounding areas who are interested in coming to the program. If you are traveling out of state for detox or residential treatment, we are able to help coordinate a flight and reliable transportation to/from the airport. Please note — the cost of transportation services such as airfare are the financial responsibility of the client.Â
Admissions is quick and easy. Once you call our admissions team one of our dedicated counselors will perform a pre-assessment over the phone . This takes about 10 minutes and just makes sure CuraWest is the best fit for you or your loved ones individual needs. After the assessment we will verify insurance benefits and arrange a time for your intake (this can be as quick as 30 minutes from the initial call). If you need a ride to the facility we will dispatch one of our drivers and you will begin your recovery at our facility. It is that easy. To get started call us 24/7 at (888) 687-5118.
Once admitted to our program, clients are encouraged to complete a Release of Information (ROI) form for friends, family, employers, etc. Due to HIPPA laws we are not allowed to confirm or deny any patient’s attendance at our facility without a signed release of information. These laws are in place to protect the privacy of those who are seeking help. If your loved one did not complete an ROI, what we can do is take down your name and information as well as any message you have. If the person you are needing to contact is at our facility we will make sure they receive the message as soon as possible and ask to set-up a ROI for you.
We offer programs lengths individualized for each client. Generally detox is anywhere from 3 and 10 days and the residential portion of our program is between 3 and 21 days. These are estimates and are adjusted to meet the needs of the individual client.
During detox access to laptops and cell phones are restricted. However, special arrangements can be made for individuals who need to conduct business or important personal matters. For clients who are self employed, we do offer an executive program that allows for cellphone and laptop access in certain cases during business hours.

The types of medication used are determined by our medical team based on the needs of the client. Common medications used for opiate detox are suboxone and clonidine. Alcohol and benzodiazepines are commonly detoxed using librium, gabapentin and baclofen. If you have questions about detox medication please contact our admissions team 24/7 at (888) 687-5118. During the residential portion of our program, the administration of essential medications will be closely monitored. We do not offer MAT at this time.
