About A.R.T.S. Parkside Clinic

ARTS, short 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 decades. The center combines clinical research, training, and evidence-based approaches to treat substance use disorders and promote sustained recovery for adults who need outpatient support.

The Adult Outpatient program offers a broad set of services for adults, including medication-assisted treatment (MAT) with methadone, buprenorphine, Vivitrol, Antabuse, and naltrexone. Patients can access outpatient care, intensive outpatient (IOP), and aftercare, with treatment guided by evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing (MI), and family counseling. Services are provided for adults age 18 and older, with additional focus areas for women, people living with HIV, and individuals who are part of the criminal justice system.

The Adult Outpatient clinics work with Medicaid, select Medicare plans, and private insurance, and may offer sliding scale fees depending on eligibility. Operating several clinic sites in the Denver area, including Parkside, Westside, and Potomac Street, the program provides convenient early weekday hours and limited Saturday appointments to support timely intake and continuous care during recovery.
