Telehealth treatment for mental health is a remote form of therapy for patients who live in rural areas where they do not have close access to a treatment facility. Telehealth is a new option for treating addiction, depression, and other mental health disorders for men and women who can commit to their recovery with minimal supervision. A telehealth treatment program allows for continuing support for as long as necessary for patients to maintain their sobriety and positive mental health.
Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery provides discreet and effective outpatient treatment programs for men and women from all walks of life. We have in-person and remote options available for patients to continue their recovery experience where they will have access to all of the beneficial therapies and medication treatment. If you or a loved one is struggling with addiction, call 833.448.0127 today to see if our telehealth treatment program is right for your recovery.
What Is Telehealth?
Telehealth treatment takes advantage of technology and uses it to help men and women who live in rural communities. Nearly three-quarters of people who live in rural areas do not have access to quality mental health care. They are left to fend for themselves or drive hundreds of miles to find a treatment facility. A telehealth program gives help to those who cannot attend in-person therapy and can abstain from drugs and alcohol with minimal supervision.
To receive telehealth treatment for mental health, patients will need the following:
- Completion of a residential treatment program or whose symptoms are not serious enough for full-time care
- High-speed internet that can stream live video and audio
- A computer with a video camera and speakers, either built-in or separate
- Able to meet at regularly scheduled times with therapists and medical staff
- Able to abstain from drugs or alcohol with minimal supervision from qualified therapists
At Colorado Medication Assisted Recovery, our goal is to help as many people as possible from all over Colorado. Our certified therapists and medical staff have experience treating all types of mental health concerns and use telehealth treatment to reach more people in need.
