Natural Medicine Healing Centers

A Healing Center is defined in Colorado Natural Medicine Regulations as "a facility where an entity is licensed by the State Licensing Authority pursuant to article 50 of title 44 that permits a Facilitator to provide and supervise Natural Medicine Services for a Participant." Healing Centers are considered Natural Medicine Businesses under Colorado regulations.

An application for a Healing Center License must include the following information:

  • Documentation demonstrating that the address for the proposed Licensed Premises is permitted under the Local Jurisdiction’s applicable zoning laws for the cultivation, manufacturing, testing, storage, distribution, transfer, or dispensation of Regulated Natural Medicine and Regulated Natural Medicine Product. 
  • A diagram or map of the physical location for the proposed Licensed Premises demonstrating the proposed address for a Healing Center license is at least 1000 feet from a licensed child care center, preschool, elementary, middle, junior, or high school, or a residential child care facility, unless the location otherwise complies with section 44-50-302(1)(d)(I), C.R.S. This must be computed by direct measurement from the nearest property line of the land used for a school or facility to the nearest portion of the building in which the Healing Center is located, using a route of direct pedestrian access.
     

Applicants must note if they are applying for:

  • A standard Healing Center license
  • Micro-Healing Center license: A micro-Healing Center is a Healing Center license tier that does not store more than 750 milligrams of total psilocin on site. A micro-Healing Center must comply with security requirements in Rule 8025(A).
