Rocky Mountain Detox Treatment Center - Lakewood, Colorado

Maddeline Cannon

I recently was there detoxing from some pretty heavy drugs. I was repetitively dismissed when I told them I was struggling to breathe and my ligaments or my muscles felt out of place. Eventually, after enough advocating (having anger issues according to them), they let me go to the hospital. Earlier that morning I had to sign a contract that “I would not let bodily fluids on the bed.” Because I had to change the sheets after I had a bowel movement that I did not feel and was consistently shamed for it as embarrassing as it already was. I was yelled at walked all over called basically crazy talked about disrespected, called names and when I was reacting by crying and saying I couldn’t breathe After asking to leave to get my phone, (which was not protocol so I could not get my phone) I Call the police because I felt like I was the only person on my side and I was being made to be a Crazy addict Who is just making up health problems. They packed all of my stuff, throwing it in a bag and and told me to leave because I was causing a scene Scene At this point, I was not talking to anybody And struggling to breathe by hyperventilating. After this traumatic experience, I ordered myself Lift and ended up going to my friends office, which is a physical therapist. She checked me out. Because the hospital specifically said they could not check out unless there was bones out of place Since it was an ER and they weren’t specialist. I found out I had scar tissue building From my shoulder To my neck Head chest and hips. The scar tissue was blocking me to breathe and causing a lot of problems. I guess the scar tissue built up after I got. Beat up by my friend this past July which I told staff about. They completely neglected me and treated me like I was crazy and made me feel disgusting I have never been treated like such trash for wanting to get help. I’m going to try physical therapy but based on the amount of scar tissue that is built up overtime if they can’t remove the scar tissue by breaking up. I will have to have surgery, which makes sense because the pain was so severe to the point where I was throwing up and Staff were telling me I had digestion issues and not reporting anything. I complain about but reporting my “ anger issues.” hopefully for their sake I do not have to have surgery because they will be getting notified from my lawyer about a case with malpractice. , I came here looking for help when I was struggling with addiction because of my loneliness and instead, I just got bullied by a bunch of soppy nurses who thought they knew better than me. If you’re struggling addict, I promise you if you go here, they will make sure you know that you’re struggling addict. There’s nothing luxurious about this place. Unless you’re talking about the kind of luxurious that Kim Kardashian possesses in which you will be looked down upon. The lack of education is honestly no surprise because the nursing staff still act like they’re in high school I felt like I was being bullied.

Where do I start. This place is great went for 7 day detox and ended up going back for the 30 days residential program. All the staff is loving and carrying. Me doing the 30 days was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. And all sincerity and honesty being at rocky mountain is the Closest to having friends since 2012. I recommend this place place to any one really wanting to change there habits.

Definitely the best treatment center I've been to yet. I had no friends or family, and I kept getting clean to chase something I had no concept of. This was the only place I've been to that's always helped me out through thick and thin, and has been there for me more than my own blood family has. They planted the seed and taught me what love and connection is, and showed me that I'm worthy of being loved.

This place saved my life! I went in about four weeks ago and was scared beyond words. Jack and Carolyne (spelling?) made me feel at ease immediately. I enjoyed every session, meeting, etc. I only stayed one week, but learned sooo much! The facility is very clean, always stacked with great snacks and comfortable. Everyone who works there is extremely caring and kind. As silly as it sounds, I cried when I left. Thank you for everything you all do! ?

Had an excellent experience in their detox program at the Stanton house.

Comfortable, clean environment in a residential setting.

Food was probably one of the best at any center.

Knowledgeable and helpful staff, especially Joel who provided me with two nuanced psychiatric insights that were overlooked by other providers while also remaining efficient and professional.

[SYNOPSIS]
• Their admissions team was amazing, & not only was on top of the communication that prioritized my well-being but were efficient & thorough. For 8 months, I was searching for a detox that also had residency that took my private insurance that I pay for through my university, so it's pretty particular about its coverage (esp. with in-network & what they approve for rehab treatment). They pre-approved everything with insurance ahead of time & if there are any out-of-pocket costs, they will hash that out with you ahead of time, so you aren't blind sighted by out-of-pocket fees with no forewarning.
• The Denver location had limited spots temporarily due to facility Maintenace for an unexpected repair on a room, so that required me to wait a few days. I was also offered to go to their location in AZ for immediate detox & recovery assistance if I didn't want to wait a few days for the Denver facility availability.
• I got daily check-ins & follow up texts with admissions every day until I got there as well to ensure that I was being taken care of & we were on the same page. Overall, they will try their best to ensure whatever they can do to help find you the resources you need to truly aid in your recovery & healing processes. The whole staff is unique, kind, caring, & overall humanistic. They serve good food & provide other options as well. They are a very accommodating facility.

Detailed Review from my POV:

• This was my first time seeking help out for my recovery in a professional manner & needed medical detoxing (which was highly advised by my doctor, but I could not find coverage) due to the risks of AWS with alcohol addiction & the severity their withdrawal symptoms that can put you at risk for fatality. Not only did the medical detox work very effectively (& my withdrawal symptoms were more severe, having hallucinations primarily but also previously with DTs as well). Until RMD, I could not find a facility that would require out-of-pocket costs that I couldn't afford, worked with my insurance, and/or took the time to ensure I was getting help with consistent responses + communication from start-to-end.

• I initially was only staying a week for my detox, but I decided to stay longer for residency with what my insurance would approve, & their team that handles insurance logistics was on top of figuring that out with them with my plan coverages, worked with me with such flexibility & ease with me trying to figure out what I wanted & needed to do for further care. Once I decided I wanted to stay longer, they were on top of updating me promptly to communicate what was occurring with insurance coverage since I kept readjusting my treatment duration.

• They're also very much focused on providing lots of mental health care & psychoeducation that very effectively structured (& that's personally coming from someone like me who's finishing their B.A. in Psychology). They really are centralized on this form on clinical care, & not only focusing pharmaceutical treatment solely. They do not force you to take medications, aside from what's medically necessary for your safety with withdrawals during detox, which is all transparent during intake & throughout treatment. If a provider suggested meds other meds, the discussion for why they feel it could be beneficial & for what occurs. Even so, taking those other meds is optional. Seeking med readjustments is also available! The anatomical structure is crucial IMO, bc it ensures you have your rights with the care you seek, want to receive, & the rights to your own body.

• For aftercare with discharge, they referred me to a great IOP facility given my insurance in mind, & with the care I was seeking after discharge. I already have a personal therapist & psychiatrist, so they worked with what I requested with the type of care I am seeking. Overall, they'll assist you to the best of their abilities for what you're seeking & needing with your circumstances.

I had a really good experience here. I had to get medically detoxed from alcohol and they had pretty much everything to meet every one of my needs and make the process as painless as it can be. Very good people that have been in similar situations are staffed here. You meet other patients that have been through all sorts of walks in life as well. I have detoxed medically in the past and it was always in a hospital type of setting. This is a comfortable environment that feels like home.

This place is top notch! Having been through multiple facilities and other centers for similar care and treatment I was extremely surprised at how well run and managed Rocky Mountain Detox was. From the moment I was greeted at the airport, all the way until I was dropped back off for my flight home, I was treated with respect and welcomed in a loving caring compassionate way. All of my needs were met as every staff member was willing to jump in and help me through this difficult time in my life. ALL of the staff there deserve praise for the incredible job they do. The place is kept very well in terms of cleanliness and the food will not disappoint. Glad to have been referred to such an excellent facility with the most awesome staff.
