Addiction Treatment in Colorado — Find MAT, OTPs, Detox & Local Care

Clinically Reviewed By Dr. Jeremy Dubin

Porch Light Health provides medically focused addiction treatment across Colorado, combining FDA-approved medication-assisted treatment with counseling and support you can access close to home.

Care is delivered through in-person clinics, mobile units, and telehealth, so most patients can start the same week. We accept Health First Colorado (Medicaid) and major insurance plans, and help uninsured patients find low- or no-cost options.

Our Addiction Treatment Programs

We focus on outpatient, medically grounded care for opioid and alcohol use disorders. Most patients begin with a medical assessment and start medication quickly when appropriate, then continue with counseling and behavioral support.

For opioid use disorder, we offer buprenorphine (Suboxone) along with long-acting Sublocade and Brixadi injections for people who prefer fewer visits. We also provide naltrexone therapy after detox and outpatient medically supervised withdrawal when an inpatient stay is not required.

What We Treat and Who This Is For

Our programs are built for adults with opioid or alcohol use disorder, including those managing a co-occurring mental health condition. We treat the medical and behavioral sides together, so care addresses cravings, withdrawal, and the conditions that make recovery harder. Families supporting a teen can also find age-appropriate options.

How We Deliver Care Across Colorado

Access is the difference between starting treatment and putting it off, so we combine in-person clinics, mobile units, and telehealth across more than 60 points of care.

Our mobile MAT units bring treatment to rural communities with few local providers, and telehealth visits support same-week starts and follow-up between appointments.

You can find the nearest option through our clinic finder.

Insurance, Medicaid, and Payment

Most medically necessary addiction services are covered in Colorado, often at little or no cost. Health First Colorado (Medicaid) covers the full substance use continuum, including withdrawal management, MAT, and counseling, with no copays for behavioral health services.

We also accept major plans including Anthem, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Cigna, Kaiser, and Medicare, though private plans can require prior authorization or copays.

If you are uninsured or underinsured, options still exist. We offer a sliding fee program, and Colorado’s OwnPath directory can connect you to safety-net providers statewide.

If you or someone you love is in immediate danger, help is available 24/7. Call 911 for an overdose emergency and give naloxone if it is available.

Call or text 988 for the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or call Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255 (or text “TALK” to 38255) for around-the-clock support and walk-in crisis locations.
