Have a substance
abuse or dependence problem requiring treatment and meet at least one
of the following two criteria:
Aged 25 or younger
OR
Have used methamphetamines
in the past 90 days or if institutionalized, in the 90 days prior to institutionalization
In addition to the
above criterion a client must:
- Have no private or public health insurance covering substance abuse treatment or inadequate insurance coverage for the substance abuse services needed
- If court-ordered to treatment, the referring agency or court must allow the
ATR assessment to determine the level of care and allow the
client to choose
a provider
- Need treatment rather than education or prevention services (not entering
services solely to satisfy Driving Under the Influence or Minor in Possession
requirements)
- Participate in an independent assessment of treatment needs conducted by
Mines and Associates.
- Receive services in an ATR service area—Colorado Springs area (El Paso and Teller Counties), Metro Denver,
West along the I-70 corridor from Summit County to Grand Junction, and North to
Ft. Collins. Additional areas may be added at a later date.
