Drug addiction is not only a scary and dangerous thing for the user, but it also affects those around them and their loved ones. It can ruin both the addicts lives and those near and dear to them. Many addicts become so fixated on their need for drugs that they aren't aware of the devastation they create in their lives and the lives of their friends and loved ones.

Fortunately for addicts, Colorado has a plethora of residential drug treatment programs. The more detox, rehab and aftercare programs that addicts can get into, the better the chances of them completing a full recovery and getting back to a healthy lifestyle.

Addicts who find the most success in recovery start with a detoxification program and immediately enroll in a stay in a residential program. Detox purges the residual drug from the addict's system, and the residential aftercare allows them to get the therapy they need to avoid relapse and heal their mind and body.
