Learn how people in Colorado have used substance use disorder treatment services.
Overview
People who have substance use disorder (SUD) have trouble controlling their use of drugs or alcohol, even when it causes problems in their home, work, or school life. Treatment can include counseling, medication, and support groups.
Data from SUD programs shows how many people in Colorado are using treatment services. It includes the number of beds available for residential treatment at programs with a waitlist. Programs without a waitlist are not available in this dataset at this time.
The data shown on this page focuses on people who received care through state-funded programs. These state-funded programs make treatment services accessible to people without insurance or people with limited insurance coverage. Data and insights about SUD treatment in Colorado can be used to identify where and when people might not be getting treatment services.
