Colorado Drug Rehab for Boulder, Colorado 877-444-1137

Boulder is such a wonderful part of our country.. one of the finest environments on the planet, but it has more than its share of addicted public. With the Univ. of Colorado's reputation as a "party" school and many predator drug dealers taking advantage of this population, it is important that quality help is available.

Call us and we wiil provide that care!

Since the 1960's, Boulder, Colorado and drugs have had a close relationship and if you meander around downtown Pearl Street you will see that the 60s are alive and well in Boulder. This isn't a bad thing by any means.... Boulder is proud of its history of University/arts culture and it well should be.. but with this comes the romanticizing and embellishing the value of drug use. Because of this situation, many young people have found Boulder's drug tolerance and availability to hinder their recovery.

If you need AA, NA, Alanon or other support groups in the Boulder, Colorado area...go to this link...boulder-support.php

There are approximately 31,000 Colorado drug rehab and addiction treatment center admissions each year, however, due to the high relapse rate of many traditional programs most families in Boulder are searching for something that works. This is where Colorado Drug Rehab can help. The University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado has been known for many years as of Playboy Magazine's top ten party schools and most of that reputation comes from alcohol use and abuse. In recent years the University has restricted alcohol use in certain areas, but the college population is still heavily involved in underage drinking. Marijuana is also a drug of choice among this population and with the increased potency of today's marijuana, it has become much more debilitating then in years past.

Crystal Meth use in Boulder is higher per capita than in many other communities in Colorado. Colorado Drug Rehab has taken more calls from meth users in Boulder than those seeking help from alcohol problems, but this is also related to the rapid severity of negative consequences of meth use whereas alcohol abuse and addiction allows the user/addict to consume alcohol for a longer period of time before it causes sever debilitation.

This Isn't the Boulder that I Remember or Want

When drug rehab and drug prevention are not effective, society pays in painful ways. In California, which is usually the trend setter for many things, the State Board of Education has adopted the message in prevention to elementary and secondary students that the use and experimentation with drugs, especially marijuana, is a natural "rite of passage" and part of the developmental processes of our children. Colorado Drug Rehab disagrees in the strongest way. You can begin to take the attitude that perhaps this is misguided research and that good people are making policies because they believe in the science, but when they will not allow for a drug-free message to be given in the schools, you should start following the money. See how many middle-schools have posters about "health" that are sponsored by Eli Lilly and other pharmaceutical companies. This type of "psychological" understanding of our kids leads to the following that occurred in Boulder, Colorado the week of April 20th, 2008. This passage taken from the Daily Camera... Boulder's newspaper:

"Three female Nevin Platt Middle School students were arrested on felony charges this week after an investigation into prescription-drug trading that sent a fourth girl home sick, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office....The two girls accused of handing out pills face felony charges of possessing and distributing a Schedule II controlled substance, the Sheriff's Office said. The student who held the pills was also arrested and faces a possession charge."

We can't continue to criminalize our youth and increase the criminal justice system. We are at the edge of becoming a police governed state because we do not take responsibility for ensure and demanding that our drug treatment and drug rehabs are effective, that our drug prevention messages are sound and effective and that anyone that is promoting anything other than those types of programs should be subject to the free-market and not supported by our tax dollars. Take the time as citizens of the wonderful city of Boulder, Colorado to call the Colorado Drug Rehab line and we will help educate you on the many out-points in your local "war on drugs". Giving felonies to middle-school children is an indicator that things have gotten out of hand and they don't do that on their own. The citizens of Boulder, Colorado must push for effective programs and not allow the ideas that addiction is an inescapable chronic and progressive disease. Are these two young women diseased or are they misguided by our "mental health counselors" and others that follow those suppressive messages. Call Colorado Drug Rehab at 877-444-1137 and start building your awareness and you will see your responsibillity level rise as well... the good news is taking responsibility brings you happiness!

The Solution

Drug rehab that addresses the individual through a biophysical approach is the most successful method. While the right program may not be in Boulder, our philosophy is to refer you to the best possible drug rehab center that can help handle the problem for good. We will refer you to drug rehab centers that don't use drugs in any way, as a longer-term drug-free program will typically have the best overall results.

Colorado Drug Rehab is a free service that will help you find a drug rehab for any alcohol or drug addiction problem you or a loved one may be having. It is easy to confuse the different terms used in this field, describing the different types of drug rehab centers, drug rehabilitation centers, and substance abuse treatment programs. For the problem that you are addressing, should you be looking for an Outpatient, In-patient, Residential Treatment Center, Long term or Short term treatment and what modality of treatment is the most effective and what are the cost related to these forms of treatment or rehab.

Colorado Drug Rehab counselors do not subscribe to the disease model which believes that "once an addict, always an addict"! Most programs subscribe to the idea that addiction is a chronic and progressive disease; meaning that there is no cure and that a persons is continually getting sicker throughout his life, even if he isn't using alcohol or other drugs. With a message like this, it is no wonder so few get well. Our staff has reviewed over 150 drug rehab residential programs, on site, and out of those reviewed, we only refer to 13 programs that have proven successful outcomes. When looking for a drug rehab in Colorado, it is smart to talk to one of our counselors that has over 30 years experience in drug rehabs in Colorado and Southwest.not mix it into the heroin.Colorado Drug Rehab is a free service that will help you find a drug rehab for any alcohol or drug addiciton problem you or a loved one may be having.

1. Biophysical Drug Rehab

Biophysical treatment methods get the residue of the drugs out of the body. Through research, it has been found that the human body will store a residue, called a metabolite of the drug, in the dromat fat tissue for 5 – 7 years after drug use/abuse. When a person stops using drugs, this residue of the fat-soluable drugs begins to be released back into the blood stream which causes cravings, anxiety, and depression in the addict who may be trying desparately to curtail his use.

This can go on for literally years and is the major reason why many programs claim that addiction is a life-long disease. As these toxins are released back into the blood stream, it causes the struggling drug affected person to experience some of the original drug effect and causes depression and mental health problems that lead many to see advice from psychiatrist who will then perscribe a psychiatric medication, which leads to more toxins in the body to add to the emotional rollercoaster that most recovering people experience daily.

Drugs like heroin, oxycontin, cocaine, and meth are more powerful than the natural chemicals the brain produces to be happy, so these "flash-back" type experiences overpower ones natural chemistry. It takes at least a year for this natural chemical balance to be restored and most "recoverying" addicts cannot take the anxiety and depression they are causing for any length of time without relapsing back to otheir drug of choice or drug of availability.

The Biophysical method uses a purification technology in conjunction with vitamins and minerals to release these toxic residues stored in fat tissue, back into the blood stream where they are then forced out of the body, leaving the person free of this contamination and free of the cravings, anxiety or depression caused by the side effects of these drugs. This enables a return to a natural chemical balance, which is wjy these types of programs don't subscribe to the addige, "Once and Addict, Always and Addict". This type of drug rehabilitation center uses a social educational model to restore ethics and build life-skills to ensure their graduates are drug free and productive members of society. Drug Rehab Programs with this method are having a success rate of over 78%. This is why Biophysical drug treatment centers are the most highly recommended and fastest growning form of treatment.

In March, 2008 a Biophysical Colorado Drug Rehab residental program opened in Fort Collins, Colorado. Call 1-877-444-1137 to find out more!

2. Drug Rehab using behavioral modification

Behavioral Modification gained popularity in the 1970's and is based on the Pavlovian idea that man is an animal and changes actions based on stimulus and response. It was popular during these early years for teachers to have bags of M&M's to reward children for proper responses. In drug treatment, the Therapeutic Community model was developed, which uses reiducule and shamming tatics rather than M&M's in an attempt to change thinking and behavior. These program are popular with criminal justice populations and have demonstrated less than a 10% long-term success rate. As long as the person is in the original group and has gained some privledges for being a "perfect client", the compliance is high, but for those that need support to make changes, it can be devistating and leads to many clients exiting the programs early to maintain some personal power and dignity.

3. Drug rehab using a 12-step approach

This method of recovery is employed by Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous,Cocaine Anonymous and many other Anonymous groups.

The originators of Alcoholics Anonymousof (A.A.) looked long and hard for something, anything, that would work to save alcoholics from self-destruction, anything to break the cycle of addiction. In the 1930's alcoholics were thought of as the retrobates of society and were usually institutionalized in psychiatric centers as being insane and given horendous treatment, which, of course, didn't solve the addiction. So, the original work of the two founders of the 12-step approach are to be commended for reclassifing the problem, but, unfortunately, in the process, they removed all of the personal responsibility by making addiction a disease.

There are many positive aspects of the 12-step approach in that it gets addicts into communication about their lives and their addiction and that is far better than the isolation that they were experiencing. However, it falls short of the truth about addiction and actually relables the problem to fit their philosophy and doesn't actually treat the addiction, but supports addicts with the idea that there is no cure, but by belonging to a like-minded group, one can stay off of alcohol and other drugs and survive at a higher level.

This recovery method was never intended to be institutionalized into a treatment modality, but when insurance programs in the 1970's began to pay for up to 30 days of addiction treatment, many progams oped througout the US and huge profits were actualized for their owners. Soon the insurance companies looked at the lack of ongoing success and have since drastically reduce their support of any form of addiction treatment. These 30-day, 12-step programs do not pretend to graduate their patients free of relapse, but contend that addiction is a disease of relapse and that will continue throughout ones life. They believe that addiction is a chronic and progressive disease, meaning that is last forever and gets worse even when one isn't drinking or using. Less than 10% of their graduates stay clean long enough to rebuild their lives.

4. Christian or Religious based treatment

Many families soon become frustrated with behavior modification and 12-step treatment approaches, and for good reason, and turn to religious programs for an answer. These program usually don't profess to doing treatment, but are structured to bring fundimental religious beliefs into the void of spiritual feelings seen in all addicts. To develop the moral/ethics and spiriual support in anyone suffering from addiction is an important component of any program, but in itself, it has proven to be insufficient in graduating a higher than 5-10% success.

As you my have noticed, other than the Biophysical approach, all other modalities of treatment are only successful at a miminal level of 10% or less. This correlates with the fact that about 10% of the addict population will recover from their problems without any clinical interventions whatsoever, so in looking at these forms of treatment, you might find that it satisfies some part of your common sense that addicts may need some of these measures, like religion, but effective treatment of this problem is either comprehensive and successful or it depends totally on the strengths of the individual to be a success.

All program, other than biophysical programs, depend on their graduates to live within the newly acquired philosophy and to limit their contacts and associations to others that follow those ideals and ideas. This is not very realistic and, therefore you can see that very few remove themselves from addiction at a level that one should expect of a center that is treating a problem of any magnitude.

Drug of Abuse in Boulder, Colorado

Cocaine is considered a significant drug threat to Colorado. Powder cocaine is readily available throughout the State and crack cocaine is available in urban population areas. Cocaine is the drug most often associated with violent crime in the State. Cocaine is generally sold in ounce and pound quantities in Colorado. Crack use is declining but remains available in the larger metropolitan areas of Colorado.

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. 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.

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.

Marijuana is readily available in multi-pound quantities throughout Colorado . A highly potent form of marijuana, called "BC Bud," is also easily obtainable.

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.

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.

Colorado Drug Rehab is a free service that will help you find a drug rehab for any alcohol or drug addiction problem you or a loved one may be having. It is easy to confuse the different terms used in this field, describing the different types of drug rehab centers, drug rehabilitation centers, and substance abuse treatment programs.
