Sample Therapy Services

Sample Therapy Services (Longmont, CO) is a SAMHSA Behavioral Health Treatment Services Locator-registered facility. The facility's programming is outpatient (Outpatient, Dual Dx), not residential.

Care levels at Sample Therapy Services

Level-of-care documentation: Sample Therapy Services is an outpatient-focused program (Outpatient, Dual Dx) — 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. Under MHPAEA 2024 medical-necessity criteria disclosure, plan-specific criteria for each of these levels must be available to patients upon request. Mismatch between documented clinical need and offered level of care is a common source of authorization denial.

Insurance and payment

Payment and insurance posture: Sample Therapy Services accepts Medicaid — which is consequential because facilities that accept Medicaid tend to have the broadest patient populations and the most developed public-sector relationships, though reimbursement structures mean program intensity sometimes differs from commercial-focused centers. 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.

Specialty programming

The facility's documented specialty programming includes: Criminal justice (other than DUI/DWI)/Forensic clients, Clients with co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, Clients who have experienced trauma. Evaluation of specialty-program alignment requires documented review of clinical team credentials, specialty-specific programming hours, and integrated assessment protocols. Specialty designation without documented clinical infrastructure is a recognized marketing pattern in the sector.

Before you call

Pre-admission due-diligence for Sample Therapy Services: (1) ASAM 4e level-of-care documentation matching clinical assessment; (2) written Verification of Benefits specific to insurance product; (3) MAT policy documentation (particularly buprenorphine and methadone continuation protocols for opioid use disorder patients); (4) accreditation verification via CARF or Joint Commission provider-search tools; (5) state licensing status confirmed via CO behavioral-health regulator inspection records. If the clinical situation involves opioid use disorder, confirm explicitly whether Sample Therapy Services offers medication-assisted treatment — buprenorphine, methadone, or naltrexone. Programs that do not are operating outside the current standard of care.
