Opioid Rehab in Colorado
Opioids have become an increasing problem in Colorado, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Opioid overdose deaths rose by 54% in 2020, making it the deadliest year of drug overdoses in Colorado history. Although the state is taking steps to curb opioid-related deaths, the statistics remain troubling.
Opioid addiction is difficult to overcome alone, but help is available for people struggling with opioid abuse in Colorado. The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake offers professional opioid addiction treatment that helps hundreds of people flourish in recovery each year. In addition, there are many addiction-related resources available in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and other parts of the state.

How To Know When It’s Time To Seek Treatment
Opioids change the way your brain functions, making it incredibly hard to “just quit.” For this reason, it’s important to find professional help when you’re struggling with an opioid addiction. Even wondering whether you need treatment may be a sign that it’s time to reach out for assistance. In general, if you continue using opioids despite negative consequences in your life, you will likely benefit from a rehab program.
Many people successfully recover after seeking treatment, but it can depend on how willing a person is to attend rehab, how long they stay and how much post-rehab support they have. Regardless, attending treatment gives you the best odds of breaking free from addiction’s hold over your life.
Does Insurance Cover Opioid Rehab?
If you’re someone in Colorado who’s struggling with opioid addiction, you may think that professional treatment is out of your reach. Fortunately, insurance will often cover some or all of the costs of opioid addiction rehab. You can use our helpful insurance verification tool to see whether your provider offers coverage.
