At CBHC, we believe everyone deserves care with dignity and respect. We help people who are struggling with opioid use disorder feel safe, supported, and on the path to healing.
We’re proud to be part of the Porch Light Health family while keeping the trusted CBHC name and our personal, community-focused care.

Our Mission

Recovery should be simple and accessible for everyone. That’s why we welcome all people—with or without Medicaid, Medicare, Tricare or other insurance. Walk-ins are always welcome, and same-day dosing means you can start care right away.

What Makes Us Different

Quick visits. Most people wait less than 5 minutes for their medication.

More than medicine. We offer counseling, mental health support, and medication management when needed. Our team also helps with housing, benefits, and other resources.

Compassionate team. You’ll be met with kindness, understanding, and zero judgment.

Easy to reach. Our Denver and Lakewood clinics have convenient parking and public transit access.
