Englewood, Colorado, is one of many cities with a growing heroin problem. Officials say more new users snort the drug nasally rather than injecting or “shooting up” because they mistakenly believe it’s less addictive. When users avoid injecting by smoking or snorting heroin, they avoid the stigma associated with needle users.

Residential Treatment Programs
In a residential treatment program, patients are monitored 24/7. Being in a controlled environment can be very beneficial for those who are suffering from drug and/or alcohol addiction. Usually, patients who are in a residential treatment program have already gone through the necessary detoxification. Once detox is complete, the real work can begin.
Partial Hospitalization Program
This option is also known as “dayhab.” Some of the same services are offered as with the residential treatment programs. However, you spend your nights at home.
Outpatient Treatment Programs
In an outpatient treatment program, patients are allowed to stay in housing on campus or within their homes if they live in a safe and supportive environment.
If you’ve never been in treatment in Englewood, Colorado, before, it makes sense to research your options.

Detox Centers
A person addicted to narcotic pain pills or heroin can benefit from a medical detoxification center because of the physical nature of withdrawal from opiates. Medical detox from drug and alcohol addiction is always done under the supervision of a doctor and staff that is available 24 hours a day.
Detoxification is a necessary process because it rids the body of all drugs and alcohol. However, it is not the only necessary process. It is a first step that should be followed with a program of counseling and other forms of therapy. Once you get clean and sober, you can continue on the path of mental and spiritual recovery and national recovery centers can provide more resources than medical detox alone.
