Ever experienced the \"quiet \" room? Concrete floor with no blanket/mat like a jail cell? Lights on 24hrs? Denver Scares is a place no one should experience on their way to sobriety. Non medical detox there put me in the hospital for a week. Boo on you Medicaid collectors. The staff sucks also.

Allyson Noelle

Cancelled a class offered twice a year with one week notice with no assistance for students who are required to take this specific class (putting them behind by several months and costing more money, and potentially costing jobs). Sounds like it may be time to give up the training gig if they can\'t provide the service paid for. Do CAC classes at Odyssey instead as they never cancel.

Dianna Solano

Its a great place to detox and a place for people looking to recovery from addiction. It is ran by Denver Health. They are cultural competent and have experience with all walks of life regardless of what your D.O.C. is.

The counselors for the most part care. There are a couple,like everywhere that are rude

I was in the TRT program, and I loved it! I was of course scared and nervous to get help and to be in the detox. But as soon as I was transitioned into TRT, it became a second home. Lori is an amazing counselor and Alisha is super amazing also! The staff in general are all amazing! They really care and really want you to succeed and even after graduating there, i still go to therapy twice a week and I am now part of the NA committee on Monday nights! This place has forever changed my life and I am forever grateful!

.Somehow I visited here twice, in two week span of time. I\'ve been working on my boozing, and the second time I was just at concert waiting for my ride home, when I was kidnapped. First time I believe was something like that as well, but it was a wake up call. Anyways, I\'m gonna speak of the second time, and this truly important I went in with two broken ribs, mass amounts of pain, taunted and laughed at by the nurse of Saturday night. She claimed I was trying to make another drunk person they through in my drunk cell, who was grabbing on me and getting in my face, that I wanted to make him my b**tch. Yes she said those words. So next the wavy haired man Kevin took me.to.another drunk room, it was an isolation, this is before I ever made it to the back. He told me he was a heroin addict and that he understood my pleas, yet made me.sleep with my broken ribs on a cold concrete bench like it was jail. a security guard grabbed me when they kept pressing if I was on drugs, which I wasn\'t, and repeatedly answered no. The female front nurse, kept laughing, treating me horribly. The man Kevin disappeared and seemingly forgot about me. My back pain increased, so much so it affected my healing. So finally after 8 hours of their isolation and humiliation, I went to the back (dorms). It was chock full of regulars, men who were (homeless). The African male nurse sepol I believe, acted high and mighty and laughed when I told him about my back pains. The other men who were there like me and the homeless as well, spke about how much they wanted to get high. I even learned of where to score things if I wanted. One man two beds down pooped himself. Sepol went around asking patients if they wanted to stand in line for three hours to get breakfast and Gatorade .As my back went down, I learned the place is a notorious racket. And not really legal.once my bac was 0.00 the counselors (two of the female counselors and a man named Eddy were kind to all of us) had a list of 10 aiting to be discharged. I waited an extra 5 hours justjto have someone fill out a few papers. The place makes people want to leave and go get wasted, I was doing good. As Soo I left I was so distraught and hurt from my back and sepol, Kevin, the sat night Latina nurse and the two big security guards harassment and \"forgetting about me\", that I went to the bar across the street and relapsed back into alcholism and have been drunk every day since .in constantly on the lookout for class action lawsuits against this place, I understand it\'s cold and some of the drunk homeless men actually voluntarily go there. But it is jail .I want to to make clear that Eddy and the morning female counselors were very kind. Everyone else was a jerk. My back is worse, I\'m depressed, I lost my job, and I learned a valuable lesson, once your on their radar they will just keep bringing you back. They don\'t care, the night nurse should lose her medical license (at one point because of the trauma of being in a locked room, I inflicted pain on myself just to get out and sent to a psych ward. Nope she just scoffed as my arm was cut. This was a nightmares, and I\'m on the lookout for cops, the staff of this place, and any class action lawsuits. You won\'t get better here, it will make u bitter and resentful towards yourself and the food is jail,,borderline with un sanitary condiona. As I said in the dorms some of the staff are mellow and nice, doing their job to the best of their abillity. But the rest taunted us , relished in the 70 plus person .Room full of homeless men and people who were just at a concert like me, sitting side by side will others vomited and deficated themselves .This was a step back in my recovery, and a horrible place to be. Even the movie on a TV all the men were huddled around was violent trash. They all know all the men will get out , go get the fix and then come back. I sure won\'t, unless it\'s with a lawyer. I hope the higher ups read this, promotes Eddy, Jen and a few of the female cousnelors in the back. And fires the rest. I\'m writing in alias, but this is true story.-rm

Life Saving Treatment Program. The staff are hardworking people that really care about their clients. Highly recommend the TRT program for women and men that are serious about recovery from substance dependency and abuse. Thank you for everything I\'ve gotten from this program, Denver Cares. Plus the life long friendships, I have made.

Brandon Baxter

This place needs a class action lawsuit!! Absolutely insane how they are getting away with abduction and false imprisonment!

James Cameron

Our friend was picked up overnight at 7/11 by a Denver Police officer after an altercation about payment methods for a taquito and dropped off here unreported. The staff took great care of him and other residents were kind to him as well. We didn’t know where he was or how to contact him and in danger of missing our flights back to Canada. Typically residents may not call out, but the staffs consideration of his situation allowed him to make one phone call to us. We picked him up and made it to the airport just in time to make it home. He was offered breakfast but was unable to stay. Their care and compassion for our friend and our situation will never be forgotten.

Matt Danczek

I was in the trt program a while back and was amazed at how caring the staff is.

A capitalistic, opportunity driven, licence to print money. Denver truly C.A.R.E.S. about money and power, but unfortunately a lot less about the welfare of the individuals they kidnap \'for their own safety\'. Staff on the most part (with one exception) are inherently unprofessional, disinterested and openly make jokes about the process, often at the detriment of already distressed \'patients\'. Degradation, process manipulation and terrible attitudes seem the norm, which can\'t be forgiven in a profit led organisation. The process is fundamentally flawed and even those cleared are left to wait, incarcerated for up to 4 hours after their time due to tired processes and staff unavailability, which is certainly false imprisonment past this point. It doesn\'t take more than a google search to find multiple similar reports and news articles spanning a 10+ year period, some much more serious than the given example. Hopefully one day tighter governance will be put in place to prevent the existence of such monopolistic organisations that are given unclear governing powers except for in the instance of those who truly require aid. The power to take someone against their will can\'t be given to an organisation that charges for said service. As one \'counsellor intern\' receptionist claimed, \"we can\'t wait for the CU vs CSU game as it\'s a busy weekend to get people in\"... this unfortunately, says it all.

The first thing people need to know is that the negative reviews below are extremely biased. The people claiming that people are being tortured at CARES and that they can \'see it happen\' from their house are a fine example of yuppy gentrification. CARES existed long before they moved into their lofts, and if they did not want to live near a detox center perhaps they should have researched the area first. CARES is a first responder in HELPING homeless, rather than looking down on the homeless and seeing them as less than people as these reviewers do. Second, a lot of the disgruntled reviewers are from people who were brought in by either the patrol van or the police. If someone is brought to CARES, it\'s because they were intoxicated, and are a harm to themselves or others and are put into protective care. Detox is never a pleasant stay for anyone, but you can only blame yourself if you were brought to CARES. No one puts a drink into your hand but you. Third, it seems there are disgruntled former clients posting. The strict rules at CARES are for their own success. As they go further into the program, they get access to more freedom. Perhaps you should speak with the countless success stories the long term treatment program has helped rather than complaining about rules that are common at any detox facility. CARES does indeed have a huge homeless population, but there are plenty of regular people as well who have just had too much to drink. There is also a long term treatment program that is literally saving lives. All people are treated with dignity and as human beings and friends. The staff is caring, and certainly wouldn\'t be willing to work there if they didn\'t believe in the mission of CARES. Before you judge by some negative feedback, stop on by and check it out for yourself :)

Denver Cares Staff has treated me with the utmost kindness, respect, and help with addiction. For the drunk dramatic outbursts that the staff endure and have to protect themselves and those seeking help from harm, I am sorry you think a place with such wonderful human beings running and serving the community are torturing drunks. I hope you learn some FACTS about the process and staff I see every day. (Disclaimer: I am not employed or associated in any professional way with Denver Cares or it\'s affiliates. I do not endorse, or provide service to the facility. I DO benefit from addiction counseling, structural rehabilitation, and obviously NO torture. I on my own behalf have authorized my name to represent the construction of this post only in stating my personal observation, interactions, and knowledge of the day to day challenges and opportunities of Denver Cares.)

How are you going to lock a mentally ill or intoxicated person in an ambulance for over an hour and not expect them to act erratic after? I\'ve witnessed 100s of people locked in ambulances screaming for help while the staff sits outside the vehicle prepping to beat the person up. Come sit in our neighborhood for a night and you\'ll see; they\'re torturing people here and I\'m not even slightly exaggerating.

John Doe

Every negative review on here is true. This place needs to be reviewed by the state. Care is very poor here and this is coming from a nurse. I wouldn\'t put my worst enemy here.

melissa miller

WISH that I could give negative stars. You\'re better off spending the night in a jail. Terribly unprofessional and unacceptable behavior by \'staff\'. It terrifies me to fathom the idea that these people have more likely than not caused people to die by not helping...i suppose texting while on a \'medical\' job is more important. Sickening.
