Arapahoe House

About Arapahoe House – Aurora, Colorado

Since 1975, Arapahoe House in Aurora, Colorado, has provided alcohol and drug rehab services for residents throughout the Denver metro area. Roughly 15,000 people turn to them for help with substance use disorder (SUD) and related mental health concerns (dual diagnoses) each year. The nonprofit’s Aurora clinic offers outpatient DUI and DUID classes for people who have received one or more substance related traffic citations.

If you’ve been charged with DUI, DUID, or DWAI (driving while ability impaired), the court may order you to take part in classes and therapy. If you’ve had multiple offenses or were severely intoxicated at the time, you might have to do this in addition to jail time or house arrest. Regardless of your intoxication level, a judge might also order you to pay fines, complete community service or complete probation.

How many classes you need also depends on factors like your intoxication level at the time of your citation and your previous record. You might just need one 12-hour weekend class, or you may be required to attend up to a year of classes alongside group therapy. Classes and groups usually consist of 10 to 12 people. Arapahoe House staff will help you figure out what kind of services you need when you register.

The nonprofit offers scholarships and sliding scale fees and accepts Medicaid and many commercial insurance plans. Generally, DUI assessments cost $40; materials for classes or therapy cost $25; a three-day weekend DUI level 1 class costs $120; and a DUI level 2 class or group therapy costs $100. You can call to register 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday-Saturday. If they can’t get you in right away, they’ll put you on a waiting list and let you do web-based treatments until there’s an opening.
