About Axis Health System Columbine Behavioral Healthcare
Axis Health System has a treatment facility located in Durango, Colorado. Here, they provide services to children, adolescents, adults and their families who are struggling with co-occurring and substance abuse disorders. They offer a variety of services including medication-assisted treatment (MAT), court-ordered programs and monitoring services. They accept Medicaid and Medicare and offer sliding scale fees.
Where this treatment facility is located has so many attractions and fun things to get into. Durango has a national historic district located downtown where you can enjoy art galleries, a multitude of restaurants, boutiques and historic hotels. This is a great way to enjoy sober recreation to assist in your recovery. The area is also surrounded by nature and a national forest. During your free time, you can go hiking, fishing, boating, swimming, and rock climbing.
While receiving treatment at this facility they offer care coordination services. They provide extra support and advocacy and help you get connected to resources that can be beneficial to your recovery and improve your quality of life. They can help you with completing food assistance, SSI/SSDI application assistance and assist with housing assistance and placement.
I really found their jail-based programs interesting. These services help inmates rehabilitate and go back to their communities with programs under their belts that’ll help deter them from reoffending or going back to drugs. This can include traditional counseling but it also includes courses in financial management, job training, and resources to help you meet basic necessities like food and housing.
Their LGBTQ+ track is also notable for assisting individuals and finding resources within their communities. That way, they’ll feel less isolated and won’t have to rely on drugs to cope with stress and frustrations. They’ll also assist LGBTQ+ youths with issues that can accompany drug abuse like homelessness and suicidal thoughts.
