Diversus Health provides structured outpatient addiction treatment at two levels of intensity: a standard Outpatient Program and an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). For people in recovery who need more than weekly counseling but are not candidates for residential treatment, IOP offers a meaningful middle ground — consistent clinical contact, group and individual support, and the flexibility to stay connected to life outside treatment.

Both program tracks are built to support ongoing recovery rather than crisis-only stabilization. Whether someone is stepping down from a higher level of care or beginning their recovery journey in an outpatient setting, Diversus Health's program structure is designed to build the skills and accountability that recovery over the long term requires.

A distinguishing feature of Diversus Health's addiction treatment approach is its clinical focus on co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis care. Many people seeking substance abuse treatment are also managing trauma, PTSD, or other mental health conditions — and treating substance use in isolation often leaves the underlying drivers unaddressed. Diversus Health treats both simultaneously within its outpatient and IOP programs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) serves as the clinical backbone of this work. CBT equips clients with concrete tools to recognize and change the thought and behavior patterns connected to both substance use and mental health symptoms — making it especially effective for clients navigating dual diagnosis recovery.

Diversus Health is one of the few outpatient addiction treatment centers in the Colorado Springs area that formally serves such a broad client population. Programs are available for adolescents, young adults (18–25), adults of all genders, pregnant women, seniors, veterans, individuals with HIV/AIDS, deaf and hard-of-hearing clients, and those referred through the court system. This breadth reflects a genuine commitment to meeting diverse recovery needs within a single treatment community.

For veterans specifically, Diversus Health accepts TRICARE, reducing financial barriers to accessing structured outpatient care. The center's overall payment options — including Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, state insurance, sliding scale fees, and financial assistance — make substance abuse treatment accessible across a wide range of financial circumstances.

Cost is one of the most common reasons people delay or avoid addiction treatment. Diversus Health accepts a comprehensive range of payment options, including Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, state insurance, and self-pay. For those without coverage or with limited income, sliding scale fees and financial assistance are also available.

The center's Joint Commission accreditation means that insurers — including government payers like Medicaid and Medicare — recognize Diversus Health as meeting established clinical standards. For families and individuals comparing outpatient programs and recovery centers in Colorado Springs, that accreditation, combined with accessible payment options, makes Diversus Health a practical and credentialed choice for sustained addiction treatment.
