Frequently asked questions

What to know about rehab in Durango

How We Rank Listings

The treatment centers in our Durango directory are licensed or accredited providers. We want to help you make an informed treatment decision so you are comfortable starting your addiction treatment.

We prioritize programs that have a state license and independent accreditation from the Joint Commission or CARF. We also clearly label sponsored placements so you always know what you are looking at.

The directory details the levels of care facilities offer, specialty tracks, and accepted payment types. This information comes from public licensing records and facility information.

Confirm the center’s current availability and program specifics with the center since this information can change quickly. Our aim is to give you an accurate starting point for finding care close to home.

What Should You Know About Rehab in Durango?

Durango is the seat of La Plata County and the treatment hub of southwest Colorado. This mountain community has more concentrated treatment options than in the surrounding rural counties. Seven rehab centers in Durango offer detox and outpatient care. Use our Colorado rehab directory to compare more options in the area and across the state.

Axis Health System is the region’s primary addiction treatment provider. They offer integrated behavioral health, medication assisted treatment, intensive outpatient care and a sliding fee scale. Rocky Mountain Health Plans coordinates public behavioral health services. They are the regional accountable entity for Western and Southern Colorado.

San Juan Basin Public Health runs the local harm reduction program with free naloxone and fentanyl test strips. Access to higher levels of residential care can be limited in the Southwest. You may have to travel to Front Range programs for inpatient treatment if you live in the area.

Local outpatient and telehealth services help fill this gap in services. Colorado overdose deaths began falling in 2024, though rural access to fentanyl aware treatment and naloxone continues to be a priority to protect public health.

Crisis support: Call or text 988, or reach Colorado Crisis Services at 1-844-493-8255, available 24/7 regardless of insurance.
Health First Colorado: Coverage is coordinated by Rocky Mountain Health Plans, the regional accountable entity for the Southwest.
Free naloxone: San Juan Basin Public Health offers free naloxone and fentanyl test strips across La Plata County.
Rural access: Local care leans outpatient; some residents travel to the Front Range for residential treatment.
Cost of Rehab in Durango

Your treatment costs depend on several factors like the level of care you require to address your addiction challenges. Other criteria include the length of your program and whether you use insurance to help cover the cost of care.

Statewide cost averages in Colorado are near the middle of the national rankings for treatment affordability. Statewide residential costs average roughly $56,413 without insurance. However it’s likely you won’t pay the full price of treatment once insurance benefits are applied to your expenses. The costs below are the Colorado averages by care type.

$139,079

Medical Detox

$49,981

Inpatient Treatment

$8,072

Outpatient Treatment

$7,149

Methadone Treatment

Your out of pocket costs depend on the treatment center’s setting, amenities, and length of stay. Outpatient programs cost far less than residential care. This is the most common local format, while detox and out of area residential stays have the highest price tags. Many programs in Durango accept public insurance and offer sliding fee scales. This helps keep your out of pocket costs.

Treatment setting: out-of-area residential care costs more than local outpatient.
Program length: 30, 60, and 90-day programs scale in price.
Level of care: medical detox and 24-hour supervision raise costs.
Insurance status: in-network coverage, Medicaid, and Medicare reduce out-of-pocket cost.
Sliding scale: most local programs adjust fees to income.
How to Pay for Rehab in Durango

The 7 rehab centers that provide Durango services rely heavily on public funding. Most programs accept Health First Colorado, Medicare and sliding fee scales. Most also work with private insurance and accept self payment. Below is a list of how many local facilities accept each payment type.

The option that makes the most sense for your treatment depends on your coverage and income. The subsections below outline how the main payment paths work for Durango residents.

Health First Colorado (Colorado Medicaid)

Colorado’s Medicaid program covers substance use disorder treatment from detox to outpatient counseling and medication assisted treatment.

Rocky Mountain Health Plans is the regional accountable entity for western and southern Colorado and coordinates your health benefits. Five Durango facilities accept Health First Colorado. Axis Health System accepts Medicaid and is a strong local starting point for covered care.

Medicare

Medicare covers substance use treatment when it is medically necessary. Inpatient care is covered by Part A and outpatient services and counseling are covered by Part B.  Medicare Advantage plans offer the same benefits. Six treatment centers in the Durango area accept Medicare, a notably high share of treatment centers for an area of this size. This number reflects the region’s reliance on public coverage.

Military and TRICARE

Veterans and active duty personnel and their families have several routes to receive and pay for care. Three area facilities accept TRICARE insurance and the VA coordinates services through the Durango VA clinic and the broader Grand Junction VA system. See more rehab resources for veterans and military families.

Insurance and Private Pay

Every Durango addiction treatment center in the directory accepts private insurance or self payment. Health plans purchased through the Marketplace are mandated by federal parity laws to cover mental health and substance use disorder treatment. But your coverage level depends on the plan you purchased and the network status of the treatment center. Verify your insurance benefits before admission into a program. Major carriers active in Colorado include:

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

Other Low Cost Options

Durango has strong low cost resource options. These options include six centers that offer sliding scale fees, six that offer financial assistance and one that offers free treatment. Axis Health System uses a sliding fee scale for those who qualify and serves residents regardless of their ability to pay. Consider applying for treatment scholarships to help close the gap.

Accreditation

Accreditation demonstrates that a treatment center has met independent quality standards. One treatment center in Durango holds Joint Commission accreditation. Accreditation is separate from state licensure that every legitimate Colorado provider must maintain. Many quality rural programs operate under only state licensure.

Levels of Care Available in Durango

Durango focuses on providing outpatient and detox care including 2 detox programs, 2 inpatient programs and 6 outpatient clinics in the area. Most facilities also treat co-occurring mental health conditions.

Medical detox provides 24 hour medical supervision to safely manage your withdrawal. This is the best first step for opioid or alcohol dependence. Two area programs offer medically supervised detox.

Inpatient and residential rehab is a structured, live-in treatment environment that offers a safe space in your early recovery. Two local inpatient rehab programs serve the region, and you can also travel to Front Range facilities for a wider choice of residential care.

Outpatient treatment allows you to live at home and go to treatment sessions. This is the most common local treatment option with 6 clinics, including intensive outpatient options at Axis Health System. It helps when you are balancing work or family in a rural setting.

Dual diagnosis care provides addiction treatment at the same time as mental health conditions like depression or anxiety. Seven facilities address co-occurring disorders that reflect the region’s integrated behavioral health model.

Sober living offers substance free housing to support your transition into the community and independent life. One local home provides this option that can be paired with aftercare planning. These programs support long term recovery through counseling, job coaching and peer support.

Specialty Programs in Durango

Many Durango facilities tailor specialized treatment programs to specific groups and substances. Below is a list of how many programs operate each specialty focus.

Local programs treat alcohol and opioids in equal measure.  Six programs focus on alcohol use disorder and six on opioid use disorder. Programs for women, men, and young adults are widely reported and one facility offers LGBTQ+ affirming addiction care.

Drug and Alcohol Use Statistics in Durango

Durango anchors La Plata County and the five-county southwest region, where a 2021 needs assessment found treatment resources stretched thin and Indigenous and LGBTQ+ residents especially underserved.

More than 1,600 Coloradans died of a drug overdose in 2024 statewide. Overdose data point to a turning point in the community. Fentanyl and other opioid deaths fell sharply over the most recent year measured that suggests Colorado has moved past the peak even as rural access remains a challenge.
