Counseling: common questions

What does an addiction counselor do?

Addiction counselors and therapists help you understand your substance use, build coping skills, prevent relapse and work through related issues like anxiety, depression or trauma. Sessions are usually weekly, in person or online.

How do I choose a counselor?

Look for someone licensed to treat substance use (in Colorado, for example an LAC or a licensed therapist with addiction experience), who takes your insurance or offers a sliding scale, and whose approach feels like a good fit. It is fine to ask for a short call first.

How much do counselors cost in Colorado?

Typical self-pay costs are about $100–$200 per session, but prices vary a lot between programs. Many listings on Step One show their price; always confirm the cost, and what it includes, with the provider before you start.

Does insurance cover counselors?

Often covered by insurance. Coverage depends on your plan and the provider. Use the Insurance filter on this page to see providers that list your plan, then call your insurer and the provider to confirm. Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid) members can filter for Medicaid.
