Pines Recovery Life Detox, a State-of-the-art Drug & Alcohol Detox Facility in South Florida

Colorado Drug & Alcohol Detox

Most of the substance use news related to Colorado has to do with the legalization of recreational marijuana. However, its not all about weed and snowboarding in this state. Abuse of other drugs and alcohol is a major issue that this state battles every day. In fact, according to the CDC excessive drinking is responsible for about 88,000 deaths and 2.5 million years of potential life lost in the United States each year and over 1,600 of those happen in Colorado.

Binge Drinking Rates in Colorado

The CDC reports that binge drinking rates in Colorado are 17.5% among adults, which is above the national average of 16%. A likely contributor to this number is the low tax rates that the state imposes on beer, wine, and sprits. For all 3 of these categories, the tax is significantly lower than the majority of states across the country. By keeping these taxes low, the cost of alcohol stays lower and is subsequently more affordable and accessible to residents.

For adults that regularly binge drink, alcohol withdrawal symptoms may begin when they cease drinking. For someone looking for recovery from alcohol addiction, the best option is to be admitted to a medical detox facility.

Opioid Addiction in Colorado

Colorado is one of the many U.S. states severely affected by the national opioid epidemic with over 5,000 opioid-related deaths that have been recorded in Colorado since 2000. Although Colorado is making great strides towards resolving this problem, it is estimated that about 70% of the people in the state who need treatment for opioid addiction are not receiving it, meaning there is still a tremendous gap in care. Hopefully, legal settlements that are in the works for the state will help fund treatment programs, but Compas Detox is also ready to help provide detox and recovery treatment to those who are in need.
