Colorado recorded 8 behavioral health provider deactivations in the NPI registry during the week of Aug. 31 through Sept. 6, representing 4% of the national total. All were individual providers; the update lists no organization deactivations. The records cover behavioral health taxonomies including registered behavior technicians, substance use disorder counselors, mental health counselors, psychologists and counselors. NPI deactivation is an administrative registry change and does not by itself establish that a provider has stopped practicing or that a license action occurred.
Credentials
RBT was the most frequently retired taxonomy, with 3 records (38%). Addiction (Substance Use Disorder) Counselor followed with 2 records (25%). Mental Health Counselor, Psychologist and Counselor each appeared once, at 13% apiece. The credential mix therefore centers on RBT and substance use disorder counseling, while also including broader counseling and psychology categories. Because the counts describe registry taxonomies, they should not be read as a measure of clinical workload or available appointment capacity.
City Distribution
Colorado Springs had 2 deactivations, the highest city total. Alamosa, Grand Junction, Fort Collins and Durango each had one. The remaining records were listed in Loveland and Lakewood. The distribution is broad across the state, with only Colorado Springs appearing more than once, so the weekly snapshot does not show a strong concentration in a single city.
These figures describe NPI registry activity for the reporting week and should be interpreted as administrative workforce data rather than a confirmed count of providers no longer practicing.
