BE PREPARED WITH THE TRUTH BEFORE YOU START TALKING TO REHAB

 

PROGRAMS.

Our Master's Degreed, and above, level staff have reviewed over 150 alcohol and drug rehab and

treatment programs...we know the drug rehab programs that work and the drug rehab centers

you should avoid! 150+ alcohol and drug rehab and treatment programs have been reviewed with

a minimum two-day site visit. Our Director is a Senior Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor and

Supervisor..ask for Mac.

 

When you call our help-line, you will talk to a professional that has been a certified and/or licensed

counselor for over 35 years. In that time he was a director or three residential alcohol and drug rehab

programs and a State Director of Substance Abuse services. He has been a faculty member at the

medical school in Colorado, but most importantly, he had addiction in his family and through his

experiences with four different drug rehabs, he found out the TRUTH about drug rehab in America. His

research includes the on-site review of over 150 alcohol and drug treatment centers, as well as

performing outcome studies to document the effectiveness of a center's work.

 

He will tell you that there isn't a more competitive and unethical area of medical services in our society

than the alcohol and drug rehab field. Addicts have very little political power and for that reason and

others, this is a field that hasn't gotten the outside scrutiny that most medical services receive and

therefore, many programs operate on myths about addiction that keep rehab centers making huge

profits but not rehabilitating and saving lives.

 

According to Pamela White from the Colorado Springs Independent, issued October 27, 2012,

in the United States, "Colorado ranks first per capita in marijuana use, second in severity of

substance abuse problems and 49th on money being spent on alcohol and drug

rehabilitation programs. Colorado is one of only nine states where over half of those in

prison for drug charges are there for possession and Colorado is one of only three states

that refuses to allow Medicaid funds to be used for drug treatment."

 

The only way that we are going to have a civil society that is free of drug-related crime is to

demand change. Presently, Colorado is the Bottom-of-the-Bottom when it comes to services

for substance abuse. We are ashamed and it is costing us, in many ways, dearly every day.

Learn from our 40 years in this field by reading this site and contact us if you want to make a

difference!

 

The pages within this website have information on every aspect of addiction. There are

pages about every drug of abuse and others that address the different types of drug rehab

available in Colorado and surrounding areas. Most of our messages on this homepage are

directed at having the reader call to talk to our counselors. We do this because most people

that are addicted to alcohol and other drugs do not have the patients to read through these

pages. It is our desire to help everyone that needs services, so feel free to call and let your

licensed counselors examine your alcohol or drug case, or that of a loved one, and lead you

to viable resources that will solve your addiction problem.

 

Below are some of the most common drugs of abuse.

 

Each topic is expanded through its links.

Marijuana use and abuse among all age groups in Colorado ranks in the highest percentiles of any state. Marijuana is readily available in multi-pound quantities throughout Colorado. The highly potent form of marijuana known as "BC Bud" is also easily obtainable, although significantly more expensive. BC Bud is smuggled into Colorado from British Columbia, Canada, to Washington and Oregon. The sale of this potent and expensive form of Marijuana speaks to the affluence of the youth in Colorado as much as it is an indicator of lax enforcement of possession laws and a poorly developed drug prevention strategy in Colorado. There are many that believe that marijuana use is not a problem and justify it by comparing it to alcohol use. There is some room for comparison, but the effects of long-term marijuana use can cause lethargy and slowing of mental acuity. Find out more about marijuana at: http://www.drug-rehab-colorado.com/Marijuana.php or this government sponsored site: http://www.nida.nih.gov/infofacts/marijuana.html

We have added a new page looking at the state of Colorado's influence on other states as of March 02, 2015. Find it at this page: The Consequences of Legalized Marijuana

On June 1, 2001, Colorado passed legislation that allows for the use and possession of small amounts of marijuana for sick and dying patients. This has led Colorado to be one of the leading states in the development and sale of medical marijuana. All but a very few counties in Colorado have dispensaries selling medical marijuana. Parents in Colorado report that their minor children are defending their use of marijuana by claiming that they need it as medication.

The Denver Post reports on 06/04/09: "Coloradans say they are doing less hard drinking than they did in the past few years but say they are more likely to smoke pot", according to a two-year federal assessment to be released today.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health found Colorado was the only state to log a decrease in those who think they are at risk to binge- drink since the last study completed in 2006, from 29.8 percent in the previous study to 25.8 percent in the most recent.

Meanwhile, Colorado is one of seven states that noted "significant" increases in teens and adults who say they are more likely to smoke pot at least once a month than those who participated in the last government survey.

Cocaine is a significant drug threat to Colorado. Powdered cocaine is readily available throughout Colorado, and crack cocaine is available in urban population centers, like Denver and Colorado Springs in particular. Mexican criminal groups transport wholesale quantities of powdered cocaine into Colorado in private or rental vehicles and distribute the drug at the wholesale level. Retail distributors in Colorado typically convert powdered cocaine into crack on an as-needed basis and sell the drug at open-air markets or from crack houses. The I-70 corridor that transects Colorado from Kansas to Utah, is one of the main drug trafficking thoroughfares transporting cocaine from Mexico up to Colorado and then to the East Coast and West Coast.

The percentage of Colorado residents who report having abused cocaine in the past year is higher than the percentage nationwide. According to the 1999 and 2000 NHSDA, 2.5 percent of Colorado residents age 12 and over reported having abused cocaine in the year prior to the survey compared with 1.6 percent nationwide. Find more specific cocaine information at: http://www.drug-rehab-colorado.com/Cocaine.php or at this government sponsored site: http://www.whitehousedrugpolicy.gov/drugfact/cocaine/index.html

Methamphetamine, or Crystal Meth, poses the most serious drug abuse problem in the West Central Region of the US, which includes Colorado, largely because of high addiction rates and the abundance of low-cost ice methamphetamine supplied by Mexican traffickers. According to treatment data, amphetamine-related admissions (including those for methamphetamine) to publicly funded treatment facilities in the West Central Region increased significantly in recent years, which includes Colorado.

Methamphetamine is a primary drug threat to Colorado. Crystal methamphetamine, also known as glass in Colorado, is becoming increasingly available throughout the State and has tested as high as 90% pure. Purity levels for methamphetamine vary in Colorado. s

Colorado Drug Rehab has more comprehensive information about the drugs listed above on other pages of this website that are dedicated to the specific drugs. The Crystal Meth site, http://www.drug-rehab-colorado.com/CrystalMeth.php has been valuable to many "Ice" users because of its comprehensive overview and the inclusion of solutions to the crystal meth problem, such as hyperbaric medicine to heal the damage to the brain tissue.

Heroin - The most common types of heroin available in Colorado are Mexican black tar heroin and brown powdered heroin. New heroin users in Colorado are often young adults who smoke or snort the drug rather than inject it. This is due to a misconception that this practice is safer and less likely to lead to physical addiction. Cheese heroin (a black tar heroin/diphenhydramine mixture) has been widely developed in the Dallas, Texas area, with 22 deaths in Dallas County since 2005. There are no current reports of widespread cheese heroin abuse outside the Dallas area; however, in March the Boulder County, Colorado, Drug Task Force reported that novice heroin abusers were crushing over-the-counter pain relief tablets containing acetaminophen and diphenhydramine, mixing them into black tar heroin, and snorting the mixture.

Club Drugs, which are mostly synthetic substances, are increasing in availability and use in Colorado. LSD, in liquid form, is readily available in the metropolitan areas of Colorado. During 2001, 34% of those surveyed in Colorado reported lifetime usage of MDMA (the date-rape drug). 4.5% of those surveyed reported usage of MDMA within the past 30 days. The average user age was 17.3, and the average age of first time use was 15.9 years. Gamma hydroxybutyrate (GHB), Rohypnol, ketamine, as well as MDMA (ecstasy) and even methamphetamine are drugs that are categorized as Club Drugs. Find extensive information at this government site: http://www.clubdrugs.org/

Prescription Drugs - The diversion and abuse of OxyContin (oxycodone) is a significant problem in Colorado. Hydrocodone (Vicodin) and Darvocet are the most commonly abused controlled substances in Colorado. OxyContin is readily available on the streets of most cities in Colorado as well as an epidemic of over-prescribing by physicians. Xanax is very addictive and is another drug of abuse from doctors and on the streets of Colorado. You can read more about the dangers of Xanax at: http://www.drug-rehab-colorado.com/xanax_rehab.php Find thorough data about prescription drug abuse at this government site: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/prescriptiondrugabuse.html

Interventions. We get many calls from frustrated parents that know that they have a loved one with an addiction problem, but they feel that there is nothing that they can do to get him/her into drug rehab. We understand this problem better than most. We have done interventions for many years and, even though we have outgrown the ability to relate well to young drug addicts, we still provide these services for those over 40.
