MAT for Opioids in Denver
Do I Need Medical Detox?
Benzo dependency often develops quietly, through a prescribed medication like Xanax, Ativan, or Klonopin, but stopping suddenly can result in dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery (CMAR) offers outpatient Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) for individuals struggling with benzo dependence, using medically supervised tapers, supportive therapies, and personalized care to guide a safe and stable recovery.
- Expert-led outpatient benzo tapering protocols
- FDA-approved medications for withdrawal and anxiety support
- Trauma-informed care that treats the whole person
- Covered by most insurance plans and affordable cash pay options
We accept most major insurance plans and offer affordable cash-pay options.
Why MAT Works for Benzo Dependency
Unlike opioids or alcohol, there are no MAT medications that “block” benzodiazepines. But that doesn’t mean MAT can’t help. At CMAR, we use the MAT model to deliver:
- Controlled, physician-guided tapers to avoid severe withdrawal
- Medication support for co-occurring anxiety, insomnia, or panic
- Behavioral therapies to rebuild healthy coping mechanisms
- Integrated mental health care to address trauma, depression, and PTSD
- Case management and peer support for long-term recovery success
Benzo addiction is complex, but with the right tapering plan, therapeutic structure, and expert oversight, you can reduce your dose safely and begin to heal.
Symptoms of Benzo Withdrawal MAT Can Help Manage
The physical and psychological symptoms of benzo withdrawal can be intense, and in some cases, life-threatening.
MAT and outpatient medical oversight can reduce the severity of these symptoms and lower the risk of relapse.
- Rebound anxiety and panic
- Insomnia and restlessness
- Heart palpitations
- Nausea or GI distress
- Tremors and muscle pain
- Irritability or mood swings
- Cognitive fog
- Seizure risk (in severe cases)

Picking up the phone and trying to find help for the first time was daunting. I knew I needed to change my relationship with alcohol, but I didn’t know where to start. After making multiple calls, I came across CMAR (Colorado Medicated Assisted Recovery). The first person I spoke to on the phone made me feel welcome and helped me begin my recovery journey.
I started in August 2024 and was guided to IOP, which included three sessions a week. I’ll never forget the first time I walked in—I was welcomed right away. James Jackman was the group therapist that day and made me feel comfortable from day one. He would later become my personal therapist, and I owe a lot to him for helping me through my recovery.
I came in wanting to change my relationship with alcohol, but I ended up working through so much more—my anxiety, childhood trauma, and the reasons behind my substance use. I learned more about myself and grew as a person in ways I never imagined.
After graduating IOP in three months, I decided to continue in OP for another year. Through CMAR, I’ve built a strong sober community and made many close friends. If you’re looking for help, this place is truly amazing.

Like so many others… unfortunately, after having 13 years clean I had a hand surgery and opened up the doorway to a relapse… Luckily, it was only a couple months before making the decision to change my life once again…I found my way in to CMAR, which is medication assisted recovery… but beyond that, they do so much more after getting past that, the level of professionalism that you receive from the counselors, and everybody on staff is amazing! I was in multiple programs years ago…. Nothing compares to this one! CMAR has saved my life!

I have been to other iop programs and this is the only program that keeps my interest and is NOT boring. On Fridays we engage in art/music therapy or watch a movie, for example pixar's Inside Out. I truly look forward to going and I am going to miss the staff and clients when I graduate. CMAR makes recovery fun!!

In order for me to live a genuine life, I must be abstinent from alcohol. The pleasures of substance use disorder had left me with a DWAI, DUI, and many years of court ordered programs. This includes years of probation, ordered UA screenings, and countless hours of community service. Also, a handful of destroyed relationships, countless moments of remorse, and thousands, if not, hundreds of thousands of dollars. Who knows...
Nothing would stand in my way of a drink. My actions revolved around minimizing consequences to decisions that would reap the best benefit of this disorder. This disease manipulates you and as a result, you manipulate everyone around you just to fulfill a falsely created ritual.
After spending another round in rehab, I started an intensive outpatient program at CMAR. I recently graduated and started in their regular outpatient program. I get to see a certified counselor every week in addition to fixed flexible courses. This place saved my life. I don't take that lightly and I'm not exercising my freedom of speech just to say it. I mean it, CMAR's professional staff and programs saved my life.
I just hit the 7 month mark of my sobriety. I'm happy, in every sense of the word, in a way that I haven't been in many years. For anyone out there struggling, please recognize, I know exactly what you're going through. I'm not unique in any way. I just decided that my life is worth living without substances.
I believe that taking your first step to accepting this truth is going to be the hardest. Please consider allowing CMAR to help you ground this decision. It's the most important choice you'll ever make. The road to recovery is not an easy one. The greatest part of all the difficulty is that we're not alone. CMAR develops serious relationships with others through intense attributable work.
Since this is working for me, I have no doubt in my heart that it will work for you. Please take action because it's already too late. For a lot of people, they never got to this realization. I hope to see you soon in one of the classes.
Peace and grace be with you,
Jeremiah White

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Michael and his team at CMAR. They provide exceptional, patient-centered care and are a wonderful community resource when it comes to state-of-the-art addiction treatment. They provide an integrative and evidenced based approach to addiction treatment; above all, they truly care about each individual patient. You can't go wrong putting your trust in CMAR. I highly recommend!!
