New Center Provides High-Quality Care for
Underserved Communities   

DENVER, April 18,
2022 /PRNewswire/ — Alpine Recovery Center, a
new drug and alcohol rehabilitation center specializing in
addiction and mental health treatment for Colorado Access Medicaid
recipients, today announced its opening. The new center brings
top-quality addiction treatment to a historically underserved
population.

In 2019, one in five Colorado Medicaid enrollees reported not
receiving health care due to insurance, compared with less than 10
percent of people with employer-provided insurance or plans
purchased on the Affordable Care Act exchanges. Alpine Recovery
Center aims to change those statistics and provide life-saving care
when overdose deaths are at record levels.

“Since COVID, more people need treatment than ever before, and
the gap between needing and being able to find care has grown,”
said Alpine Recovery Center CEO Shannon Van
Deman. “Our goal is to expand access to high-quality care to
as many people as possible. What sets us apart is just how
comprehensive our services are, which includes helping people
find all the resources they need. We understand
that when someone worries about finding a place to live or is
depressed, they cannot focus on their treatment. We’re here to help
people recover from drug and alcohol use and set them up for
success in all areas of life.”  

Alpine Recovery Center’s launch comes on the heels of a Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention report showing the U.S. topped
100,000 overdose deaths in a year for the first time. CDC
data also indicates heroin use increased nearly 77 percent in
households with an average income of $20,000-49,000 and 62 percent in households with
an average income of under $20,000.
“We believe every human being deserves access to high-quality care
regardless of financial resources,” Van
Deman said. Alpine Recovery Center hopes to end treatment
disparities affecting low-income communities.

Colorado Access Medicaid pays 100% percent of the cost of Alpine
Recovery Center’s services. Its addiction treatment programs are
available online, and the company plans to open an in-person
facility in Aurora, Colorado in
the summer of 2022. Alpine Recovery Center is accepting new clients
with groups forming immediately. For more information, call
720-704-2883 or visit AlpineRecoveryCenter.com.
