Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation

What Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation does

The Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation (CeDAR) is a private addiction treatment facility located at 1693 Quentin St., Aurora, Colorado, operated as part of the UCHealth nonprofit system and affiliated with the University of Colorado Hospital. CeDAR delivers a full continuum of care for substance use disorders — Assessment and Detox Unit (ADU) withdrawal management, Inpatient Residential Treatment (IRT), Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), Dual Diagnosis treatment, and an Alumni Program with virtual outpatient delivery. Clinical offerings are grounded in evidence-based modalities: cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed therapy, mindfulness-based interventions such as Mindfulness-Based Relapse Prevention (MBRP), medication-assisted treatment (MAT), and 12-step program integration, structured around a proprietary "Ten Dimensions of Wellness" framework adapted from SAMHSA.

CeDAR's patient population is primarily individuals with substance use disorders, including alcohol, opioid, methamphetamine, and benzodiazepine addiction, with a high-acuity dual diagnosis cohort presenting co-occurring mental health conditions (anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, personality disorders). Supporting segments include families of patients and recovery alumni. Intake runs through a structured phone screening (10-15 minutes) followed by level-of-care assessment, insurance benefit verification, and assignment to ADU or residential admission. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; services are billed under a professional-services model with insurance coverage and self-pay accepted, and contracts described as multi-year for residential programs. Marketing relies on a recovery blog, podcasts (e.g., "Through the Trees"), social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and SEO/organic search targeting queries like "dual diagnosis treatment near me." CeDAR has been recognized as one of Newsweek's "America's Best Treatment Centers."

Emerging players

• Eleanor Health: Value-based outpatient addiction and mental health provider delivering in-person and virtual SUD care. Comparable as an emerging tech-enabled competitor targeting the post-residential step-down segment where CeDAR's virtual outpatient competes.
• BrightView Health: Multi-state outpatient addiction treatment provider focused on medication-assisted treatment and telehealth. Comparable as an emerging player attacking the SUD space with lower-cost outpatient delivery, putting pressure on residential providers like CeDAR on price and accessibility.

Direct peers

• Recovery Centers of America: Multi-site residential and outpatient SUD treatment operator with hospital-affiliated and evidence-based positioning. Comparable to CeDAR on clinical model (MAT, CBT, dual diagnosis) and on demand-driven regional facility footprint.
• American Addiction Centers: For-profit operator of multiple residential and outpatient addiction treatment facilities across the U.S. Directly comparable as a multi-state SUD provider offering detox, residential, IOP, dual diagnosis and marketing-led admissions, competing for similar insurance-reimbursed patients.
• Wellbridge Addiction Treatment and Research: Not-for-profit research-driven residential and outpatient addiction treatment provider on Long Island. Comparable to CeDAR in combining evidence-based clinical practice, research orientation, and full continuum of care within a single healthcare-affiliated ecosystem.
• Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation: National nonprofit operator of residential and outpatient addiction treatment programs with the Twelve Step and evidence-based therapies. Directly comparable to CeDAR as a multi-modality, hospital-affiliated, brand-recognized SUD treatment provider serving dual diagnosis populations.
• Promises Behavioral Health: Luxury and standard residential SUD treatment provider with strong dual diagnosis and mental health offering. Overlaps CeDAR in the premium, evidence-based residential segment and outpatient step-down care.
• Caron Treatment Centers: Nonprofit addiction treatment organization offering residential, detox, outpatient and family programs with strong evidence-based and 12-step integration. Closely mirrors CeDAR's continuum-of-care, dual diagnosis, and family services model at greater scale.

Regional players
