About Center for Dependency Addiction Rehab

CeDAR, the Center for Dependency, Addiction and Rehabilitation, offers comprehensive, research-driven treatment for addiction. Situated on a serene private campus connected to UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital, CeDAR delivers inpatient and outpatient care, along with advanced medical and psychiatric services specifically for adults age 18 and older. As Colorado’s only treatment center operating within an academic health system, CeDAR links its clinical programs with ongoing research, board-certified providers, and support for highly complex medical needs. Treatment is tailored to each person and combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), medication-assisted approaches, and trauma-informed care with additional holistic offerings such as fitness coaching, spiritual development, gender-responsive group programming, and family-focused healing to support long-term recovery. CeDAR’s Joint Commission accreditation, NAATP membership, inclusion in Newsweek’s “Best Treatment Centers,” and an active alumni network reflect strong standards in clinical quality, patient safety, and lasting community support, including alumni activities and ongoing relapse-prevention resources for graduates.
