Rights of Persons Receiving Services

You Have Rights!

You have the same legal rights and responsibilities guaranteed to all other individuals under the federal and state constitutions and federal and state laws.  As a person receiving services, you are granted specific additional rights under Colorado State Law. These rights may only be modified by a court order or persons operating under the delegated authority of the court.  In limited circumstances, officials of Community Connections, Inc. hold delegated legal authority to modify the rights of persons receiving services. Community Connections takes our responsibility seriously and commits to use this authority sparingly, transparently, only under circumstances of last resort, and only in a manner consistent with protecting the person from endangering themselves or others. ​​

Your rights are formally described in Colorado Revised Statutes 25.5-10-218 to 25.5-10-235.

By law, Community Connections can only suspend rights under delegated authority with approval from the Human Rights Committee. No employee or board member of Community Connections shall serve as a member of the human rights committee. Persons receiving services will be encouraged and supported to bring any concerns or grievances related to the respect of their rights to the Human Rights Committee.  Please contact your assigned Case Manager for details about the next scheduled Human Rights Committee meeting.
