Drug & Alcohol Rehab Centers near Westminster, CO

They let me work day labor on the weekends. I have been Clean & Sober for 25 years. They had a 3/4 house where I could rent an apartment and had a meeting there once a week for my aftercare treatment. I have been sober since leaving the program. The program taught me that there was another way of life that included Prayer and Meditation. 1 of my counselors taught me how to meditate and how to grow Spiritually. I had to get rid of my old ideas about what I thought about Religion and to choose a God that I wanted in my life.

The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake

Had a loved one treated here. Was worried for her during the detox part, her detox therapist took excellent care of her. Checked her vitals every couple of hours and kept her comfortable and safe. She sent me an e-mail explaining visitation and phone calls, reached out to me on the phone, and gave me the contact info for the people taking care of her after detox. My loved one even extended her stay. Highly recommend. Best of luck. Faith and peace.

Rites of Passage LLC

I can honestly say I loved it here�something you don�t often here from clients in treatment facilities. I hopped from place to place for years and this is the place that saved me. The facility�s approach to healing is unique and helped me feel like I was a part of something greater than myself. I connected with new parts of myself by exposure to animals, fresh air, energy work, and a whole lot of love. While more standard therapies are also staples of the treatment curriculum, what I found different was the frame through which healing was approached: at other facilities I was taught to cope with emotions and thoughts in a way that highlighted my separateness from others and confirmed unintentionally that I was alone; at Rites of Passage, I learned to self-regulate by feeling my place with others and in the universe. I gradually began to feel that I wasn�t so different from everyone else and that healing was possible. Other places just teach you to get by. Also helpful and unique is that A Rites of Passage might alter the curriculum for you based on your needs. I received a treatment that was somewhat tweaked from that of my fellow clients, though our comradery was ever strong and we did most things together. I made good friends, and we did most required and non-required activities together. The group is small enough to instill intimacy and attention to each client, both from the facilitators and from each other. Rites of Passage also includes specialized nutritional healing within every client�s treatment plan�a crucial part of the healing process that none of my previous facilities attended to so thoroughly. Above all, much of what I needed when I entered treatment was a sense of community. Rites of Passage was just that: a perfect balance of loving care and professional boundaries that helped me learn how to form my own boundaries with loved ones. In learning this, my relationship with my family and friends improved ten-fold, because I finally took responsibility for my actions. Because of this treatment model I learned how to give my family and friends the love they deserve. When people see me today, they can�t believe I am the same person I was 3 years ago. Knowing places like this exist, there�s no doubt in my mind that anyone can do the same. Thank you Rites of Passage __

Colorado Substance Abuse and Mental Health Issues At-A-Glance published by the Substance Abuse and Mental health treatment Administration (SAMHSA) reports that Colorado is among the top 10 states in the United States when it comes to numbers of residents struggling with drug abuse issues.

Colorado ranks in the top 10 for issues like:

Past-month illicit drug use (for those who are in the 12+ age group and the 26+ age group)
Past-month use of an illicit drug other than marijuana (Coloradans between 18 and 25)
Past-year cocaine use (those 12+, 18 to 25, and 26+)
Past-year nonmedical use of pain relievers (those who are 26+)

Why are there so many issues with illicit substances in Colorado? A landlocked state, it seems intuitive that few substances produced outside of the country would even be found within state lines. However, drug trafficking is thick in the state, and Denver is a hub. Many in Westminster have constant access to drugs like heroin, cocaine and marijuana produced in other parts of the world as a result. Ultimately, access leads to abuse which in turn leads to addiction - and addiction slowly destroys the lives that it doesn't snuff out through overdose or accident.
