Colorado Mental Health Services

What Colorado Mental Health Services does

Colorado Mental Health Services (CMHS), founded in 2023 and headquartered at 8805 W 14th Ave Suite 250 in Lakewood, Colorado, operates a single-site Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults with primary mental health conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, and panic disorder. The clinical program runs 3 group sessions per week for 3 hours per day, complemented by 2 individual therapy sessions per week, weekly psychiatric services, medication management, and case management, with a typical duration of 12-20 weeks. Treatment is delivered using evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, ART, Motivational Interviewing, Attachment-Based Family Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy) by a credentialed team led by Medical Director Dr. Arshad William, M.D. and Clinical Director Hannah Bingler, LPC, LAC.

The business is primarily insurance-reimbursed, with in-network contracts across Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Optum Behavioral Health, TRICARE, TriWest Healthcare Alliance, Kaiser Permanente, and Medicaid; the organization explicitly does not accept Medicare, Aetna, Ambetter, or Oscar. Complementary revenue streams include self-pay IV ketamine therapy for treatment-resistant conditions and case-management/family-therapy ancillaries. CMHS holds Colorado Behavioral Health Administration license 2894-BHE001 and Joint Commission (JCAHO) accreditation.

CMHS is operationally powered by Red Rock Recovery Center, sharing admissions staff and acting as the IOP step-down destination for Red Rock's residential and PHP clients, while routing SUD-appropriate cases back to Red Rock. The organization has 11-50 employees, serves the Denver metro area with telehealth extending reach into rural Colorado, and markets primarily through its website, blog content, Google reviews (5/5), accreditation badges, and direct phone-based admissions with same-day insurance verification.

Revenue model

1. Insurance Reimbursed Mental Health Services: Colorado Mental Health Services generates revenue primarily through insurance reimbursements. As an in-network treatment provider with many insurance companies, services are billed to commercial insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna, Optum Behavioral Health, TRICARE, TriWest Healthcare Alliance, and Kaiser Permanente. For out-of-network situations, many insurance plans still provide coverage.
2. Outpatient and Intensive Outpatient Program Fees: Fees are generated from structured outpatient and intensive outpatient program (IOP) services. Programs run 3 days per week for 3 hours per day, with typical duration of 12-20 weeks. Services include individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric services, and medication management.
3. Ketamine Therapy (Self-Pay): Ketamine therapy is offered on a self-pay basis as most commercial insurance plans do not currently cover ketamine injections for psychiatric applications. The organization offers transparent pricing and flexible payment options for this service.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Red Rock Recovery CentercoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerColorado Mental Health Services is 'Powered By Red Rock Recovery Center.' The two organizations share admissions team members (Rustin, Luke, Shiloh, and Justin) and have a collaborative relationship for client referrals. CMHS serves as the intensive outpatient step-down option for Red Rock's clients who have completed residential or inpatient treatment. Clients who require substance use disorder treatment (detox, MAT, residential SUD programming) are referred to Red Rock Recovery Center.
• Resource PartnersminorOthersThe organization is conveniently located near several resource partners. While specific partner names are not listed on the website, these partners provide additional support services for clients including housing, employment assistance, and community programs.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• McLean Hospital: McLean Hospital is a Harvard-affiliated psychiatric hospital providing inpatient, residential, and outpatient mental health programs. It overlaps with CMHS on the outpatient/IOP level of care, evidence-based modalities, and psychiatrist-led clinical leadership, though at the highest acuity end.
• Newport Healthcare: Newport Healthcare provides residential, PHP, and IOP mental health treatment for teens, young adults, and families across multiple U.S. sites. It overlaps with CMHS on the IOP modality and evidence-based therapeutic modalities, but at meaningfully larger scale and broader geography.
• Rogers Behavioral Health: Rogers operates a national network of behavioral health facilities including IOPs, residential programs, and partial care for OCD, anxiety, depression, and eating disorders. It is a larger, multi-site incumbent offering a comparable IOP model at greater scale across multiple states.
• Caron Treatment Centers: Caron operates a national addiction and mental health treatment system with residential, PHP, and outpatient programs. It is a larger incumbent comparable on co-occurring disorders, evidence-based modalities, and insurance relationships, though primarily on the East Coast.

Emerging players

• Charlie Health: Charlie Health delivers virtual intensive outpatient programs for teens and young adults with depression, anxiety, and trauma. It is an emerging virtual-first competitor to brick-and-mortar IOPs like CMHS, especially for rural Colorado clients who might otherwise use CMHS's telehealth option.
• Brightside Health: Brightside Health is a telehealth provider combining therapy and psychiatry for depression and anxiety, including ketamine-assisted treatment. It overlaps with CMHS on insurance-billed outpatient mental health and on the self-pay ketamine offering, but competes primarily online rather than locally.

Direct peers

• Sandstone Care: Sandstone Care operates an adolescent and young adult IOP in the Denver metro alongside its broader continuum of substance use and mental health programs. It competes head-to-head with CMHS for working-adult and young-adult IOP referrals in the same geography.
• Eating Recovery Center: Eating Recovery Center runs intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs for eating disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions in the Denver area. It is a direct comparable on IOP structure, evidence-based modalities, and insurance-billed model.
• Red Rock Recovery Center: Red Rock Recovery Center is the strategic operating partner that 'powers' CMHS and shares admissions staff. It operates the residential and PHP levels of care in the Denver area, and CMHS functions as its IOP step-down — making it the single most directly comparable peer in terms of patient population and clinical model.

Regional players

• Denver Springs: Denver Springs is a behavioral health hospital in the Denver metro providing inpatient, PHP, and IOP for adults with mental health and substance use conditions. It competes directly with CMHS for the same Denver-area patient population but operates at higher acuity levels.
