About ARTS Potomac Street Center
ARTS, an acronym for Addiction Research and Treatment Services, belongs to the University of Colorado’s Department of Psychiatry and has been delivering mental health and addiction services throughout Colorado for many years. The center brings together clinical research, training, and evidence-based practices to treat substance use disorders and promote stable, long-term recovery for adults who seek outpatient support. The Adult Outpatient program provides a broad set of services for adults, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with options such as methadone, buprenorphine, Vivitrol, Antabuse, and naltrexone. Clients can access outpatient care, intensive outpatient (IOP), and aftercare, with therapeutic approaches that may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed treatment, motivational interviewing (MI), and family counseling. Services are designed for adults age 18 and older, and specialized support is available for women, people living with HIV, and individuals connected to the criminal justice system. Adult Outpatient locations work with Medicaid, certain Medicare plans, and private insurance, and may offer sliding scale fees when needed. With several clinic sites in the Denver area, including Parkside, Westside, and Potomac Street, the program helps patients start care during early weekday hours and also provides limited Saturday appointments to support prompt intake and continued assistance during recovery.
