Steamboat Springs, Colorado Drug Rehab and Addiction Treatment
Some people have asked Colorado Drug Rehab the difference between "drug rehab" and "addiction treatment". Actually, these terms are interchangeable. Attention should be focused on the real difference in what types of drug rehab or addiction treatment are being provided.
In 2003, there were a reported 384 drug rehabilitation and addiction treatment centers in Colorado. These centers combined to serve 31,095 clients for alcohol and/or drug abuse problems.
On average for the country, approximately 90% of addicts go through outpatient treatment services instead of entering a residential rehabilitation program. Statistics show that longer-term residential treatment is overall more effective and a drug-free rehabilitation approach is better in the long run for the addict.

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
Steamboat Springs, our philosophy
is to refer you to the best possible drug rehab
center that can help handle the problem for
good. As noted on the home page, there is a new biophysical treatment center in Fort Collins, Colorado which filled all of its beds within the first two weeks of its opening. If you can't find a biophysical program that meets your needs, we will refer you to drug rehab centers
that don't use drugs in any way, as a longer-term
drug-free program has the best
overall results.
Steamboat Springs, along with Vail, Aspen and the other ski resort communities in Colorado are addressing the substance abuse problem mostly through prevention efforts. All of these communities have raised their awareness of the dangers in promoting recreation in connection with alcohol consumption. In the 1990's there was a lack of attention to this fact and the consumption of alcohol and other drugs by those vacationing in the area was causing public health problems that could only get worse if the marketing of alcohol with skiing and summer recreation continued.

Colorado Drug Situation*
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 addiction.
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 has more comprehensive information about the drugs listed above on the pages of this website that are dedicated to the specific drugs. |
