If you need medicated-assisted treatment (buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone), residential rehab, detox, or intensive outpatient programs (IOP), confirm availability with individual listings—not all programs include these levels of care.

All 10 Aurora centers accept cash or self-payment, and 9 centers work with state substance abuse agency funding. Knowing your payment options upfront reduces stress during intake.
