Private Pay Treatment Options

While many clients use Medicaid, Sobriety House also welcomes individuals who choose to pay privately for treatment.

Private pay may be an option for individuals who do not qualify for Medicaid, those seeking immediate access to services, or families who wish to support a loved one's recovery journey. Our nonprofit model allows us to offer treatment at rates that are often significantly lower than many private treatment facilities.

We believe in transparent pricing and clear communication. Before beginning treatment, our admissions team can discuss program costs, available funding resources, and the options that may best fit your situation.

Accepted Forms of Payment

  • Colorado Medicaid (Health First Colorado)

  • Private Pay

  • Sliding Scale Assistance (when available)

  • Grant Funding (when available)

Payment options vary based on eligibility, program availability, and individual circumstances. Our admissions team can help determine which options may be available to you.

Commercial Insurance Information

While Sobriety House primarily serves individuals using Medicaid and self-pay options, we understand that many people exploring treatment have commercial insurance.

Sobriety House does not currently bill commercial insurance plans directly. If you have questions about your coverage or payment options, our admissions team can help discuss available pathways into treatment.
