ARTS Adult Outpatient Treatment Westside Center for Change

ARTS, which stands for Addiction Research and Treatment Services, is affiliated with the University of Colorado’s Department of Psychiatry and has been a key provider of mental health and addiction services in Colorado for many years. The center emphasizes the importance of combining clinical research, education, and proven treatment methods to effectively tackle substance use disorders and facilitate long-term recovery for adults who are seeking outpatient assistance. Their Adult Outpatient program offers a comprehensive array of treatment options, which includes medication-assisted treatment (MAT) options such as methadone, buprenorphine, Vivitrol, Antabuse, and naltrexone. The program features outpatient care, intensive outpatient (IOP) sessions, and aftercare support, employing various therapeutic approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing (MI), and family therapy. Services are tailored for adults aged 18 and older, with focused support for women, individuals with HIV, and clients involved in the criminal justice system. The Adult Outpatient clinics accommodate Medicaid, select Medicare plans, and private insurance, with flexible payment arrangements available when needed. With several clinics in the Denver region, such as Parkside, Westside, and Potomac Street, the program is designed to provide accessible services during early weekdays and limited hours on Saturdays, ensuring prompt intake and continuous support throughout the recovery journey.

The center focuses on addressing issues related to substance use and simultaneous mental health challenges. Each treatment plan is designed to tackle both conditions simultaneously, providing individualized and empathetic support for complete recovery.

A variety of our offerings are supported by insurance, government assistance, or grants. If you are without a funding option, we empathize with your situation, and our team is available to help you.
