Colorado Drug and Alcohol Rehabs

Colorado Addiction Rehab Information

Finding the best rehab treatment centers to over overcome chemical dependency - be it drugs or alcohol - can be a frustrating endeavor.  Just in the state of Colorado, there are several options to choose from. Our counselors can go over the options with you.  We know location, private vs. non-profit, in-patient vs. out-patient as well as several other factors should be considered before you make your choice let alone the different types of drug treatment programs that are available.

The state of Colorado provides several drug and alcohol rehab programs for adults and adolescents. With so many choices, one would think it wouldn't be too difficult to select a program, but you would be wrong. There are just about as many drug rehab treatment philosophies as there are drug and alcohol rehab centers.

Some programs do not offer drug detox programs and thus refer out for this addiction treatment service. Others believe addiction is a disease forever leaving the addict in a problem stripping them of their freedom of choice to overcome addiction and sentencing them to a lifetime of alcoholism or being a drug addict and thus, opening the door to relapse.

Another aspect of selecting a drug rehab treatment program is whether the user should attend a program close to home or not. Sometimes selecting a program far from home is key to success especially when choosing long-term inpatient treatment programs. This provides a "trigger-free" environment which distances the individual from negative reinforcements for their addictive behavior.

Colorado Drug Use Information

According to the DEA (U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration) marijuana is available throughout Colorado and is the most widely abused drug in the state. The most abundant supply of marijuana is Mexican-grown and is brought into and through Colorado by poly-drug trafficking organizations. The highly potent form of marijuana known as “BC Bud” is significantly more expensive, and is smuggled from British Columbia, Canada, and the Pacific Northwest. Indoor marijuana grow operations are regularly found by law enforcement and appear to be increasing in number.

Mexican black tar heroin is the predominant type of heroin found in Colorado and is available in the major metropolitan areas of Colorado. Mexican brown heroin is also found to a lesser degree. Various law enforcement and treatment indicators suggest that heroin availability and use may be on the rise in Colorado. Heroin is trafficked by Mexican poly-drug organizations typically capable of distributing both heroin and cocaine.

Enforcement activities reflect a steady supply of cocaine coming into and through Colorado. Cocaine trafficking organizations with sources of supply in Mexico or along the Southwest Border often deal in multi-kilogram amounts. Crack is available in the larger metropolitan areas of Colorado, generally in street level amounts.

Most of the methamphetamine available in Colorado originates in Mexico. While clandestine laboratories remain problematic to law enforcement in Colorado, the number of such laboratories has diminished dramatically. This is possibly due to the increasing supply of Mexican-produced methamphetamine. Despite a lower number of clandestine laboratories, these operations still represent a threat to the public safety and the environment.

Pharmaceutical opiates/opioids are the drugs of choice among drug abusing medical professionals in Colorado. Hydrocodone (Vicodin) and Darvocet are the two controlled substances most commonly abused, with various forms of prescription fraud and retail diversion being the methods for obtaining them. The diversion and abuse of OxyContin (oxycodone) is a significant problem in Colorado.

The Office of National Drug Control Policy profile for the state of Colorado Reports 2006:

No parent wants to believe that they raised an addict or an alcoholic. Emotions can range from apathy to anger and most feel powerless.  But something can be done. The worst thing to do is nothing. Do not wait until it is too late.
