Colorado Concierge Recovery Medicine
A Colorado license is the beginning of eligibility, not a promise that private outpatient care is the right setting.
This page is educational only and does not replace individualized medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Ratush Recovery is not an emergency service or crisis line. If there is immediate danger or a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. For mental health or substance-use crisis support, call or text 988.
Edward Ratush, MD is licensed to practice medicine in Colorado. Ratush Recovery considers selected patients and families in Colorado when the proposed work is medically, legally, and logistically appropriate. Availability depends on clinical risk, local services, telehealth and prescribing rules, and whether the practice can responsibly support the patient in their actual location.
Licensure and service-area statement
Edward Ratush, MD is independently licensed in Colorado. That licensure permits consideration of care; it does not mean every service is available for every patient or in every setting.
The practice reviews medical risk, psychiatric status, home environment, local service availability, privacy needs, and state and federal requirements before making any recommendation.
Local geography examples
The homepage lists Aspen, Vail, Telluride, Denver, and Boulder as examples of Colorado geography where families may inquire.
Colorado care planning often requires attention to altitude, travel distance, winter logistics, and local medical backup. Remote or resort settings may be private, but privacy alone does not make home stabilization clinically appropriate.
Telehealth and in-person caveats
Some work may be possible by telehealth; some work may require in-person assessment, local clinicians, nursing support, laboratory access, pharmacy coordination, or another level of care. The responsible plan depends on the patient, not the ZIP code.
Travel, seasonal residence, and cross-state movement can change what is legally and clinically available.
Controlled-substance and local-law caveats
Controlled-substance prescribing is never guaranteed and is governed by clinical appropriateness, federal law, state law, monitoring capacity, and physician judgment.
Local law, pharmacy rules, telehealth rules, nursing scope, and emergency backup are reviewed before any plan is accepted.
Emergency limitations
Ratush Recovery is not an emergency service, detox facility, hospital, mobile crisis unit, or crisis line. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department for immediate danger, overdose, severe withdrawal, seizure, delirium, suicidality, violence risk, or medical instability.
For mental health or substance-use crisis support, call or text 988.
How consultation begins
Every case begins with a paid consultation. The consultation reviews whether physician-led private continuity is appropriate, whether another level of care is needed, and whether the practice can responsibly participate.
A consultation does not guarantee acceptance, prescribing, medical stabilization at home, or any specific outcome.
