Recovery Pathways

Recovery Pathways (Aurora, CO) is a SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator-registered facility. The facility's programming is outpatient (Outpatient, MAT), not residential. Evaluation of this facility against current clinical standards should encompass ASAM 4e framework alignment, MAT policy, and payer-specific network status.

Care levels at Recovery Pathways

Recovery Pathways is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient, MAT) — patients live at home or in sober living and attend treatment sessions. This level of care is clinically appropriate for mild-to-moderate substance use disorder, or for patients stepping down from residential. ASAM Criteria 4e level-of-care matching requires clinical assessment across six dimensions (withdrawal potential, biomedical conditions, emotional/behavioral/cognitive conditions, readiness, relapse risk, recovery environment). The alignment of Recovery Pathways's offerings to any specific patient's clinical profile should be determined by an independent ASAM-aligned assessment prior to admission.

Insurance and payment

Payment and insurance posture: Recovery Pathways accepts both Medicaid and commercial insurance, which is the broadest payer profile and typically correlates with programs that operate at scale across the economic spectrum. The facility also accepts TRICARE or military benefits. Pre-admission Verification of Benefits (VOB) documentation should include: specific plan product and network status, deductible status at time of admission, coinsurance rate applicable, prior authorization status and turnaround, and out-of-pocket accumulation. Under MHPAEA 2024 disclosure rules, plan-specific medical-necessity criteria must be available on request.
