About CeDAR — Aurora
Care at CeDAR — Aurora
CeDAR, the Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation, is part of UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora. The seven-acre private campus provides medically supported addiction treatment within an academic health-system setting, including withdrawal management, intensive residential care and longer residential options.
Residential treatment
The provider describes a 30-day intensive residential program following medical and psychosocial assessment. When clinically indicated, a medically monitored withdrawal-management stay generally lasts five to ten days before residential treatment. Extended residential care of 60 to 90 days is also available for people who need more time in a structured setting.
Care is multidisciplinary and may include individual and group therapy, psychiatric support for co-occurring conditions, medication management, relapse-prevention planning, fitness and nutrition services, spiritual care and family participation. Applicants should discuss withdrawal risk, current medications, psychiatric symptoms and any mobility or medical needs during screening.
Campus and accommodation
CeDAR’s private campus sits on the UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital grounds. Official campus materials describe two residential cottages, each accommodating up to 20 people, plus a dining hall, fitness and recreation building, outdoor areas, family spaces and spiritual-care facilities. Confirm the assigned cottage, room occupancy and any accessibility requirements before admission.
Length, price and inclusions
Recovery.com lists an estimated private-pay rate of US$33,000 for one month at this exact campus. This is a current third-party estimate, not an official published tariff. The provider does not publish a numeric cash price on the pages checked, so applicants should request an itemized written quote and confirm whether medical withdrawal management, physician and psychiatric services, laboratory work, medication, room and board, family programming and aftercare are included.
Admissions and continuing care
CeDAR lists 720-848-3000, option 2, for admissions. The process begins with a confidential screening and review of clinical, medical and financial information. Ask whether the proposed plan is intensive residential, extended residential or another level of care, and obtain the planned length, insurance authorization or private-pay terms and discharge recommendations in writing.
Continuing-care planning can include outpatient treatment, recovery support and coordination with community clinicians. Availability and exact placement depend on assessment.
