- Aftercare support
- Aftercare support in Colorado gives early recovery a steady base, with relapse prevention as one of its main aims. Regular contact and honest conversation help a person spot warning signs early.
- Co-occurring disorders
- Care looks at how a substance use disorder and a mental health condition overlap for each person. Depression, anxiety, trauma or PTSD, and bipolar disorder are common pairings seen together.
