FAQ

We offer three main services: medical detox, residential treatment, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT). We also offer an aftercare program to help clients maintain their sobriety after they finish treatment.

Sheridan Grove Recovery is located at 2000 South Blackhawk St. in Aurora, just outside of Denver. We're in Aurora, just outside Denver, in a calm space set up for healing.

The exact length of stay depends on individual progress, clinical recommendations, and your personal goals.

Yes. We offer integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and more. We treat addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions together rather than separately.

Detox at Sheridan Grove Recovery is medically supervised, with nurses on site 24/7. We help you safely withdraw from substances like alcohol, opioids, benzos, and stimulants using FDA-approved medications, when appropriate. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) uses medications like Suboxone, buprenorphine (Subutex), or Vivitrol alongside therapy to help reduce cravings, stabilize your recovery, and prevent relapse. MAT is customized based on your needs and the substance you’re withdrawing from. This support helps clients engage more fully in the therapeutic process.

Every therapy program is designed to support you as a multi-faceted human with diverse needs.

Addiction affects the whole family, not just the person who is struggling, so family therapy and communication strategies are available as part of treatment. We help you and your family communicate with compassion and build the tools for healthy family dynamics. Family programming runs every week for family members and other support people, and family can join once you've signed a release of information. A family session with your clinician can be arranged on request, in person or virtually.

No. Staff won't confirm that anyone is a patient without that person's written authorization.

Only with your written consent naming who can receive information and for what purpose. A general consent doesn't cover family; you sign a specific consent for each person. In Colorado, you can also name a designated representative — a family member, guardian or other trusted person — to take part in decisions about your care and discharge planning. You can withdraw that at any time.

addiction treatment should be available to anyone in need of it. That’s why we proudly accept Medicaid and commercial insurance. Our admissions team can help verify your benefits and explore payment options.

We offer 24/7 admissions and work quickly to get you the care you need. If you're in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911 if you're in immediate danger. When you're ready for detox, our team can help coordinate a fast, compassionate intake.

Discharge planning starts at admission. A member of your care team offers to meet with you every week to plan what comes next.

They also work to keep your medications going so care isn't interrupted. Before you leave, you receive a written discharge plan.
