About IDEA – West 29th Avenue – Denver, Colorado

IDEA was an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment facility for adolescents and adults in Denver, Colorado. This location is now closed but they used to offer many court-ordered services such as driving under the influence education and testing as well as monitored sobriety. Their programs seem to have been available in English and Spanish.

What made them unique was that many of their services were aimed at adolescents. They had programs for minors in possession and underage driving under the influence. Their addiction focus was supplemented with life skills that they could carry with them into adulthood.

For adults, their substance use disorder treatment was offered on a part time basis. You could get a plan for your recovery and learn how to prevent relapsing. They used proven therapy methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy and pathways to self-discovery and change for criminal conduct.

For those who’ve experienced trauma, they made use of the Seeking Safety program. Other types of therapy included moral reconnation therapy and interlock enhancement counseling.

Denver’s year-round sunshine was helpful for IDEA clients as they could take advantage of the great weather. Sunny weather is a natural mood booster and lends itself to many different outdoor activities.

Their monitored sobriety tests covered all the bases. They used urinalysis, breathalyzer tests, Antabuse, swabs and hair tests. Hair tests are especially effective for picking up on long term drug usage, even as long as 90 days. Urinalysis typically only detects substances within two or three days of usage.

While this location is closed, they have other centers across Colorado that can help you, including one in Denver.
