A Leading Colorado Behavioral Health System Reaffirms People-Over-Payments Care
Denver, CO – October 24, 2025 – The recent Wall Street Journal investigation into fraudulent rehab operators exposed a painful truth: too many people seeking recovery are being exploited when they’re at their most vulnerable.
AllHealth Network, a Colorado nonprofit serving over 20,000 clients annually for more than 65 years, believes recovery should place the people at the center.
“The stories shared in that article are heartbreaking, but they are not the norm for ethical, accredited providers,” said Bill Henricks, President & CEO of AllHealth Network. “Coloradans deserve to know there are organizations like ours that operate with integrity, compassion, and measureable outcomes that help people truly heal and connect.”
Continuum Is the Solution
AllHealth Network’s care model is built to prevent the revolving-door “facility hopping” described in the exposé. The continuum spans crisis evaluation, detox, residential treatment to outpatient therapy and community wrap-around support, meeting people where they are and helping them stay connected to care.
Through its integration with Harmony Recovery’s facility in Estes Park, the organization strengthens that continuum for patients seeking high-quality residential care that actually works beyond discharge.
A recent Harmony client provided their feedback:
“Harmony changed my life. The staff cared about me as a person, not a number. They helped me understand my addiction and reconnect with my family. I left with a plan—and hope.”
Evidence-Based, Accredited Programming
AllHealth Network’s Harmony Recovery provides evidence-based models, trauma-informed and co-occurring tracks, family programming and holds CARF accreditation, the opposite of the “video-call only” pseudo-care described in the WSJ piece.
In-Network, Insurance-Responsible
Unlike operators that chase out-of-state reimbursement and then “curb” patients when benefits run out, AllHealth Network and Harmony emphasize in-network relationships, clinical oversight, and affordability to keep care within reach, ensuring people can continue care without interruption or shame.
Discharge with Dignity
Where the article described “patient dumping,” AllHealth Network’s standard is the opposite: safe discharge planning, family engagement and step-down support through its network of metro clinics, care systems, employment services and other community partners.
“It is often said that the opposite of addiction isn’t sobriety; it is connection,” Henricks said. “People in recovery deserve compassion, dignity, and a pathway toward hope and belonging. That’s what we’re committed to providing every day.”
Raising the Bar for Recovery
AllHealth Network is calling for stronger guardrails to prevent the abuses described in the WSJ investigation such as banning body-brokering, requiring accreditation, ensuring continuity metrics and aligning payers and providers around patient outcomes.
“We believe in accountability that protects both patients and payers,” Henricks added. “We welcome oversight, because our mission is simple: to help struggling Coloradans return to stability, connection and wellness.”
