At Haelen Mental Health, providers follow Colorado State guidelines in regards to treatment of teens age 15 and above.  The law reads: 

​

Colo. Rev. Stat. 27-65-103(2),  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a minor who is fifteen years of age or older, whether with or without the consent of a parent or legal guardian, may consent to receive mental health services to be rendered by a facility or by a professional person or mental health professional licensed pursuant to part 3, 4, 5, 6, or 8 of article 43 of title 12, C.R.S., in any practice setting. Such consent shall not be subject to disaffirmance because of minority. 

 

Youth age 15 years and older are able to consent for their own medications, as medication services are considered to be mental health services.
