Addiction treatment center rebrands, does work in Montrose every Monday

A mobile addiction treatment center that does work in Montrose and has a permanent addiction treatment center in Grand Junction, has rebranded. Before, the company was Front Range Clinics. Now it is doing business as Porch Light Health.

The company’s mobile clinics treat those with addiction and substance use disorders. A mobile clinic visits Montrose patients on Mondays at Shepherd’s Hand, 505 S. 2nd St., from 9 a.m. to noon.

Porch Light Health is one of only a few outpatient addiction treatment providers on the Western Slope. They have 60 points of care across the state, the permanent clinic closest to Montrose being in Grand Junction.

“There is a need. In general, the Western Slope has very limited access to addiction treatment services, to medical detox services,” said Dayna DeHerrera-Smith, Porch Light Health’s director of community engagement. “We see that, especially in rural communities like Montrose, folks aren’t able to get the services they need.”

She said Montrose is one of the mobile clinic’s most visited locations.

She said there are several barriers to addiction treatment, like payment, distance to the point of treatment and more.

Porch Light Health aims to remove some of those barriers with its mobile clinic.

“We are working to make it a little easier so they can still access treatment,” DeHerrera-Smith said.

The mobile clinic has been visiting Montrose since about 2020. At that time, the company received funding through the state to expand mobile services. Those funds helped them to provide care in Montrose (on Mondays) and Delta (on Wednesdays), as well as in Glenwood Springs, Meeker and Rifle.

Porch Light Health also does remote treatment in addition to providing counseling and medication services.

DeHerrera-Smith said those who can’t wait until Mondays to receive treatment can schedule a virtual appointment.

The clinic accepts Medicaid, Medicare and has sliding scale payment options based on income.

“Our goal is always to get people the most accessible care,” she said. “If finances are the only thing preventing you from getting care, we will work with you. We hate to see people avoid or delay care because they can’t afford it.”
