Treatment Relationships Recap – CeDAR – Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation

Admissions Intake

Upon arrival at CeDAR, our experienced staff will guide you through intake, using your phone assessment as a foundation. We’ll then take your vital signs (temperature, blood pressure) and collect a blood sample to gain insight into your health and to advise your treatment plan.

A healthcare professional will assess your physical and mental health, including potential withdrawal symptoms.

Detoxification (if needed):

From the minute you arrive, our Denver medical detox team is able to administer medications to reduce the severity of withdrawal symptoms if needed. If you require hospitalization, we can easily transmit your information to the University of Colorado Hospital. While we don’t anticipate needing emergency room services, it is comforting to know that the ER is right across the street.

Your care team will work with you to structure an individualized plan designed to take you safely and comfortably through withdrawal and detoxification.

Once your intake has been completed, you will be brought to your cottage where you can get comfortable, get food and drink and prepare for your treatment journey with support from our 24hr staff.

Feeling nervous about treatment is normal, but our welcoming, inclusive community provides the ideal philosophy, aesthetics, compassion, and clinical support for people coping with addiction and mental health concerns.

You have begone the journey of lasting recovery.

Phone Assessment

An initial phone assessment for addiction treatment is a crucial step in starting your recovery journey. It’s designed to gather information and help place you in the most suitable treatment program. Here’s what you can expect:

Getting acquainted:

The call will likely be conducted by an admissions counselor or therapist specializing in addiction.
They’ll introduce themselves and briefly explain the purpose of the call.
You’ll have the opportunity to ask any initial questions you might have.

Information gathering:

The counselor will ask questions about your substance use history, including types of substances, frequency and duration of use, and any past attempts at treatment.
They’ll inquire about your current situation, including living arrangements, employment, and relationships.
Be prepared to discuss any medical conditions or mental health concerns you might have.
The counselor may also assess your motivation for seeking treatment and your goals for recovery.

Understanding your needs:

The counselor will listen attentively to your story and experiences without judgment.
They’ll try to understand the underlying factors contributing to your addiction, such as stress, trauma, or mental health issues.
This information helps them tailor a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and circumstances.

Program options and recommendations:

Based on the assessment, the counselor will discuss various treatment options available, including inpatient, outpatient, or medication-assisted programs.
They’ll explain the benefits and drawbacks of each option and answer any questions you have.
Ultimately, the decision on which program to pursue will be made collaboratively between you and the counselor.

Next steps:

If you decide to move forward with treatment, the counselor will guide you through the admission process and answer any logistical questions.
They may also provide you with resources and support materials to help you prepare for treatment.
Remember, you’re not alone in this journey, and the counselor is there to support you every step of the way.

Additional things to keep in mind:

The phone assessment typically lasts 30-45 minutes.
Choose a quiet and private space for the call where you can speak freely and confidentially.
Be honest and open with the counselor, as this information is crucial for creating an effective treatment plan.
Don’t hesitate to ask questions and express any concerns you might have.

Remember, this initial phone assessment is a positive step toward getting the help you need. Taking this first step can be daunting, but it’s an important decision that can lead to lasting change and recovery.
