Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers in Colorado

Like many other states, Colorado has witnessed a rise in the total number of addiction related cases being reported here.

Addiction in Colorado

Although there are many addiction treatment and rehabilitation centers in the state, many people do not seek help from these facilities. This is even though these centers provide therapy, counseling, medication management, and other medical services that can help you overcome your growing substance use disorder.

According to the TEDS survey for 2014, over 1000 people for every 10,000 were admitted into a drug rehab center for alcohol abuse and binge drinking. The same year, the BHB - or the Behavioral Health Barometers - for the state reported that over 353,000 residents aged 12 years and above were abusing and dependent on alcohol.

But what are the most commonly abused drugs in this state? Essentially, the following are the intoxicating substances that were largely available in Colorado:

  • Cocaine
  • Heroin
  • Marijuana
  • Other Drugs like hallucinogens, sedatives, tranquilizers, PCP, and other stimulants
  • Other Opiates
  • Prescription Drugs

Among the substances listed above, it seems that benzodiazepines, cocaine, and alcohol are frequently ranked highly for the rates of drug use, abuse, and overdose in Colorado. Consider the following additional figures:

  • Fentanyl caused a rise of more than 50 percent in the rates of death in this state - or about 75 deaths
  • Meth was responsible for a rise of 196 percent in the rate of overdose fatalities in Colorado, or about 280 deaths
  • More than 50 percent of the overdose deaths reported in Colorado were due to opioids
  • Over 20 percent of all the drug related fatalities reported in the state were due to heroin
