OPIATE ADDICTION TREATMENT IN DENVER

Comprehensive care and compassionate support to help individuals reclaim their lives from opiate addiction in Denver County.

Opioids or opiates are most commonly prescribed for pain management after a serious accident or surgery. Some of the most common examples of opioids include Vicodin, Oxycodone, Fentanyl, Morphine and Heroin. In small quantities, these drugs are relatively safe and helpful for overcoming significant physical trauma. However, when they’re misused, people can experience addiction, overdose and even death.

All of these pain management medications are still prescribed in high demand despite their documented misuse. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, roughly 8 to 12% of people prescribed opiates develop Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Additionally, roughly 80% of heroin users first misused opioids. The implications of opioid misuse are wide reaching and catastrophic to American society. One of the best ways to help counter the effects of OUD is through an Opioid addiction treatment program.

Symptoms of Opioid Abuse

Opioids affect the brain and body by binding and activating opioid receptors in neurons. With persistent use, people’s bodies can develop a physical dependence to opioids, which can create severe withdrawal symptoms. Below are some of the effects and criteria for Opioid Use Disorder.

  • Increased agitation, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, social withdrawal
  • Pin-point pupils, shallow breathing, flushed skin, needle marks
  • Unwillingness or inability to stop using
  • Secrecy or deception about usage
  • Strong cravings or desire to use
  • Building tolerance to one’s drug of choice. Having to use more and more to achieve
    the desired effects
  • Continued drug use despite interpersonal or professional problems.

If you or someone you love is experiencing one or more of these symptoms, our team can help! Contact us today to learn more about our program and how we support individuals struggling with OUD.

FAQs

Opiate addiction, also known as opioid use disorder (OUD), is a chronic medical condition that we treat with compassion and evidence-based care. It involves the compulsive use of opioids—whether prescription medications like oxycodone or illicit drugs like heroin—even when it leads to harmful consequences.

Common signs we help clients recognize include:

  • Needing more of the drug to get the same effect (tolerance)
  • Withdrawal symptoms when stopping use
  • Failed attempts to quit or cut down
  • Spending excessive time or energy obtaining, using, or recovering from use
  • Continued use despite problems at work, school, or in relationships

If you’re noticing these patterns in your life or a loved one’s, we’re here to help with individualized treatment.

At True North Recovery Services, we offer:

  • Outpatient Programs for those who need flexibility
  • Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for more structured support
  • Partial Hospitalization (PHP) for higher levels of care without full residential treatment
  • Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) to manage cravings and reduce relapse risk
  • Holistic and trauma-informed therapy including individual and group counseling.

All of our programs are personalized to meet your needs and goals.

MAT is one of the most effective tools we use in treating opioid addiction. It combines FDA-approved medications like buprenorphine, naltrexone, or Suboxone with behavioral therapies and counseling. This approach helps manage withdrawal symptoms, reduce cravings, and stabilize your recovery journey.

We take a whole-person approach that goes beyond treating the addiction. Our programs integrate evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. We tailor your treatment plan based on your physical, emotional, and psychological needs to support long-term recovery.

If you’re physically dependent on opioids, we may recommend a medical detox before starting our outpatient or IOP programs. We work closely with trusted local detox centers to ensure a safe and comfortable transition into treatment. After detox, you can begin therapy with us as soon as you’re stable.

Yes, we accept most major insurance providers. Our team is happy to verify your benefits and explain your coverage options. We believe cost should never be a barrier to getting the help you need.

Absolutely. Our outpatient and intensive outpatient programs are designed with flexibility in mind. You can maintain your daily responsibilities while attending scheduled therapy sessions in the mornings or evenings, depending on your availability.

Recovery is a lifelong journey, and we’re committed to walking it with you. After completing a primary program, we offer:

  • Ongoing therapy and counseling
  • Referrals to community support groups like NA or SMART Recovery
  • Sober living options for structured transitional housing
  • A comprehensive aftercare plan tailored to your lifestyle

We help you build the tools and support network necessary for lasting sobriety.

Getting started is simple and confidential. Call us or fill out our contact form to schedule an assessment. We’ll talk through your situation, verify insurance, and recommend the best treatment plan for your needs. You don’t have to do this alone—we’re here to guide you every step of the way.
