About CuraWest

CuraWest provides detox, short-term residential, and residential addiction treatment services. They have nurses and other medical personnel on site 24/7 to closely monitor each client. If needed or preferred, they use medication-assisted treatment (MAT) to help ease withdrawal and make the process more comfortable. After detox, which can be a standalone treatment, clients transition to short-term or standard residential rehab. CuraWest uses a customized blend of evidence-based and holistic treatments for a whole-person approach to recovery.
Clients begin treatment with a thorough medical assessment, which takes into account their history with addiction, family history, and more. A psychiatric evaluation helps CuraWest diagnose co-occurring mental health conditions, if present. CuraWest tailors each aspect of detox and residential treatment to the findings of their assessments, clients’ preferences, and their needs.
CuraWest uses trauma-informed therapy to address underlying trauma or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). They also involve family if desired, with family therapy sessions on site or virtually, and family psychoeducational workshops. CuraWest teaches relapse prevention skills to clients and their families too, helping all become educated on recovery, triggers, and healthy boundaries.
CuraWest’s location in downtown Denver connects clients to nature, too. Along with sweeping views, clients can go on group hikes and garden in nearby Botanical Gardens. Their holistic activities include Reiki, yoga, and guided meditation. Most of CuraWest’s rooms are private. Their modern property provides treatment in a welcoming and comfortable space, helping clients focus on their recovery.
