Expert insight

“That’s why Colorado Springs needs more addiction recovery resources to get people the help they need!”

While I personally disagree politically with evangelical chaplain and former Colorado state representative Gordon James Klingenschmitt, one thing I do agree with is the impact addiction has on residents of Colorado Springs. Council candidate Klingenschmitt spoke recently about the deadly effects fentanyl and other opioids have on public safety. He also describes the tragedy of addiction as an oppressive force compelling those struggling to hand over their money every month to get their next fix. I believe that he highlights the powerlessness that addiction causes, because no one in their right mind would choose to give away their money for drugs.

Frequently asked questions

What to know about rehab in Colorado Springs

How We Rank Listings

Our directory is built to help you compare treatment providers in Colorado Springs on the details that matter, not on who pays the most. Listings are organized around verifiable facility information: level of care offered, accreditation status, accepted payment types and the specialty populations each program serves.

We prioritize facilities that hold third-party accreditation from bodies such as the Joint Commission or CARF, maintain current state licensure through Colorado’s Behavioral Health Administration, and are transparent about the services they provide. We do not guarantee outcomes, and a higher position in the directory is not an endorsement of one provider over another. The right program is the one that matches your clinical needs, your budget and your personal circumstances. We encourage you to verify any facility’s credentials and confirm coverage directly before making a decision.

Rehab in Colorado Springs: What to Know

Colorado Springs is the seat of El Paso County, Colorado’s most populous county with roughly 753,000 residents, and the second-largest city in the state. Our directory lists 48 treatment facilities in and around the city, spanning medical detox, residential care and outpatient services. Providers here range from hospital-affiliated programs to nonprofit community clinics, and many coordinate with the region’s public behavioral health system. You can also browse the full Colorado rehab directory to compare options in nearby cities such as Denver and Pueblo.

El Paso County has been one of the harder-hit parts of Colorado during the fentanyl era. The county recorded 220 overdose deaths in 2023, most of them involving fentanyl, and its overdose death rate that year was the highest of any Colorado county. There are signs of progress: the El Paso County Coroner’s Office reported an approximately 27% drop in accidental drug overdose deaths in 2024 and a 44% decline in fentanyl-specific deaths; however, methamphetamine deaths rose about 7% over the same period. That shift toward stimulants and polysubstance use shapes what local addiction treatment programs are being asked to address.

The local treatment and prevention system is anchored by El Paso County Public Health and by Diversus Health, the region’s primary community behavioral health provider, which operates a 24/7 walk-in crisis center in the city. Because El Paso and Teller Counties opted to direct their opioid-settlement dollars through the Region 16 Opioid Abatement Council, a portion of local funding flows into treatment, youth prevention and harm-reduction programs across the Pikes Peak region. For residents dependent on opioids, that funding has helped expand naloxone access and community-based support.

Cost of Rehab in Colorado Springs

The cost of treatment in Colorado Springs varies widely by level of care, program length and the amenities a facility offers. Colorado Springs does not publish city-specific averages, so the most reliable anchor is statewide data. Across Colorado, the figures below reflect typical costs by program type. Because Colorado Springs sits within a large metro area with a cost of living near the state average, local prices tend to fall in line with these statewide numbers rather than significantly above or below them.

Medical detox is the most expensive level of care, with a Colorado average of $139,079 for extended programs.

Long-term inpatient and residential rehab in Colorado costs an average of $49,781.

Outpatient addiction treatment in Colorado costs an average of $8,272.

Outpatient methadone treatment is the most affordable option, averaging $7,349.

These are averages, and your actual cost may be much lower, especially with insurance or a state-funded program. Several factors move the final price up or down.

Treatment setting inpatient/residential or outpatient

Program length 30, 60, or 90 days

Whether medical detox is needed before rehab

Facility amenities and staff-to-client ratio

Insurance coverage and network status

Sliding-scale fees or financial assistance

If you have coverage, the single biggest cost factor is usually your plan. It is worth verifying your rehab benefits before you commit, since inpatient and outpatient care are covered differently. Comparing an inpatient stay against an outpatient plan often reveals a large difference in out-of-pocket cost.

How to Pay for Rehab in Colorado Springs

Of the 48 facilities listed in Colorado Springs, most accept more than one form of payment, giving you room to find a program that fits your budget. Self-payment is the most widely accepted option, followed by private insurance and public coverage through Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program. The cards below show how many local facilities accept each payment type.

Here is how the main payment pathways work for Colorado Springs residents.

Medicare

Medicare covers addiction treatment for residents who are 65 or older or who qualify through a disability. Part A helps pay for inpatient and residential care, Part B covers outpatient services and therapy, and Part D can cover medications used in treatment. Twelve facilities in Colorado Springs accept Medicare. If you are enrolled, it is worth confirming which parts of your plan apply to a given program before you enroll, since coverage differs between inpatient and outpatient care.

Medicaid

Health First Colorado, the state’s Medicaid program, is one of the largest payers for substance use treatment in the region, and 19 Colorado Springs facilities accept it. Coverage includes medical detox, outpatient care and medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. Health First Colorado members are also eligible for Non-Emergent Medical Transportation to and from licensed treatment, which can remove a real barrier for people without a car.

Military Benefits

Colorado Springs has one of the largest active-duty and veteran populations in the country, home to Fort Carson, the Air Force Academy, Peterson and Schriever Space Force Bases and a large retiree community. Fifteen local facilities accept TRICARE, the health program for service members, retirees and their families. Veterans may also access care through the VA. If you are a service member or veteran, confirm a facility’s TRICARE network status before enrolling to keep your out-of-pocket cost predictable.

Insurance and Private Pay

Thirty-three Colorado Springs facilities accept private health insurance, and 43 accept self-payment. If you plan to use private insurance, confirm whether a facility is in-network, since that heavily affects your share of the cost. Major carriers active in Colorado include the following.

Aetna
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield
Cigna
Kaiser Permanente
Rocky Mountain Health Plans
UnitedHealthcare

Other Low-Cost Options

For residents without insurance, 13 facilities offer sliding-scale fees and 13 offer some form of financial assistance, adjusting the price based on income. Community providers such as Diversus Health offer sliding-scale rates for uninsured residents, and state Behavioral Health Administration grants help fund withdrawal management for low-income and uninsured people.

Free Treatment Programs

While no facility in our Colorado Springs directory is listed as offering fully free treatment to all clients, several low-cost and grant-funded pathways exist through safety-net providers and the Region 16 Opioid Abatement Council. If cost is a barrier, you may also qualify for help through a rehab scholarship or a state-funded program. The free and low-cost resources listed further down this page are a good starting point.

Levels of Care Available in Colorado Springs

Colorado Springs offers a full continuum of care, from medically supervised detox through long-term outpatient support. The directory includes 12 detox facilities, 16 inpatient or residential programs and 39 outpatient providers, along with dual-diagnosis and sober-living options. The cards below show how many facilities offer each level.

Medical detox is often the first step for people dependent on alcohol or opioids, since withdrawal from these substances can be dangerous without supervision. A medical detox program manages withdrawal safely and prepares you for ongoing treatment.

Inpatient and residential rehab provides 24-hour care in a structured setting, which suits people with more severe substance use or an unstable home environment. Residential treatment typically runs 30 to 90 days.

Outpatient rehab lets you live at home while attending scheduled treatment, ranging from a few hours a week to intensive daily programming. Intensive outpatient programs are common in Colorado Springs and work well for people balancing work or family.

Dual-diagnosis programs treat a substance use disorder alongside a co-occurring mental health condition. With 30 local facilities offering integrated care, help is available for people managing conditions such as co-occurring depression or trauma along with addiction.

For people leaving residential care, sober living homes offer a substance-free environment during the transition back to daily life. Planning for rehab aftercare early improves the odds of lasting recovery. Programs that use medication-assisted treatment can also bridge detox and long-term outpatient support for opioid use disorder.

Specialty Programs in Colorado Springs

Many Colorado Springs facilities tailor treatment to specific populations, which can make care feel more relevant and effective. The city’s large military presence, in particular, means several programs are equipped to serve veterans and active-duty service members. The cards below reflect the specialty programs available across local facilities.

Alcohol remains the most commonly treated substance locally, with 36 programs offering alcohol use disorder treatment, while 27 focus on opioid use disorder. For LGBTQ+ residents, 11 programs provide LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care. Given Colorado Springs’ military community, 10 programs offer services designed around rehab resources for veterans and military, addressing issues such as combat trauma and reintegration. Young adult programs, offered at 32 facilities, tend to fold in young adult and college student substance use support.

Drug and Alcohol Use Statistics in Colorado Springs

El Paso County has been among the Colorado communities most affected by the fentanyl crisis, though the most recent local data points to meaningful improvement. In 2023 the county recorded its highest overdose death rate in the state, and in 2024 the coroner’s office reported a sharp decline in accidental and fentanyl-related deaths even as methamphetamine deaths rose. The figures below capture the current picture.

220

Overdose deaths in El Paso County in 2023, primarily involving fentanyl — Colorado Springs Gazette / El Paso County, 2025.

Overdose deaths per 100,000 residents in El Paso County in 2023, the highest rate of any Colorado county — CDC / USAFacts, 2026.

116

Fentanyl-related deaths recorded in El Paso County in 2023 — Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment / Colorado Sun, 2024.

27%

Fewer OD deaths

Decrease in accidental drug overdose deaths in El Paso County from 2023 to 2024 — El Paso County Coroner’s Office, 2025.

44%

Fewer fentanyl deaths

Decrease in fentanyl-specific deaths in El Paso County from 2023 to 2024 — El Paso County Coroner’s Office, 2025.

The coroner’s data also showed methamphetamine deaths rising about 7% in 2024, a reminder that the local crisis is shifting toward stimulants and polysubstance use even as opioid deaths fall. Because a large share of overdoses involve fentanyl, local harm-reduction efforts have centered on expanding naloxone access. For broader context, you can compare these figures with national substance use statistics.
