Recovery is not defined by a single appointment, test result, or moment in time. At CMS, care is built around a long-term, whole-person approach that meets patients where they are and keeps the door open whenever they are ready to continue.
In Colorado, that approach is reflected in the experiences of patients who describe CMS clinics as respectful, caring, and judgement-free. As one Aurora patient shared: “The staff at the Del Mar CMS has treated me with respect, support and kindness 100% of the time. This is the only option I would ever recommend.”
Colorado’s 2025 outcomes data shows how sustained access to treatment, counseling, and supportive care can help patients stabilize over time.
The longer patients remain connected to care, the more Colorado outcomes data shows meaningful improvement in key social determinants of health. From admission to one year or more in treatment, Colorado patients reported significant reductions in unemployment, unstable housing, low income, and anxiety.
Better data leads to better care. The 2025 Colorado Patient Outcomes Report brings together patient demographics, counseling impact, toxicology trends, social determinants of health, and recovery outcomes to help CMS continue improving treatment access and quality across Colorado.

The National Patient Outcomes Report provides a nationwide view of CMS’s impact over the previous calendar year. Across the communities CMS serves, our mission is bigger than access to medication alone. It is about improving the social determinants of health that influence long-term recovery, including housing stability, employment, health access, community connection, and overall well-being.
