Drug and Alcohol Detox in Colorado Springs, CO
Drift Behavioral Health connects adults and teens with trusted Colorado Springs detox partners, then transitions you into treatment for long-term recovery.
If you’re facing drug or alcohol withdrawal, we arrange placement at a partner facility and then guide you into PHP or IOP. With admissions available every day of the week, we make the process seamless and supportive.

Intake Screening
Our clinicians assess your safety and medical stability to decide if detox is required. If withdrawal management is needed, we arrange immediate placement with a trusted facility.
Detox Placement and Support
We coordinate with partner facilities that provide 24/7 medical oversight. Our case managers track your progress, confirm readiness for discharge, and finalize your start date with us.
Smooth Transition Into Care
After detox, you’ll step into outpatient care at Drift with no downtime. Separate tracks are available for adults and teens, with flexible day, evening, and telehealth options (Colorado only).
