About Region Six Alcohol and Drug Abuse (RESADA)

Region Six Alcohol and Drug Abuse — widely known as RESADA — operates at 11000 County Road GG 5 in Las Animas, Colorado, providing substance use treatment to a largely rural region of Southeast Colorado. For residents of the Lower Arkansas Valley and surrounding counties, RESADA functions as a primary access point for structured, medically supervised care at a level that is otherwise difficult to reach in this part of the state.

RESADA offers three distinct levels of care: medical detox, residential treatment, and an outpatient program. The medical detox program places withdrawal management at the front of the treatment process, providing supervised clinical support for individuals who need to safely clear substances before transitioning to further care. Residential treatment allows patients to remain on-site and engage in structured programming, while the outpatient program gives those with existing obligations the ability to pursue treatment without leaving their daily lives entirely.

The facility treats co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis conditions alongside substance use, recognizing that trauma and PTSD frequently intersect with addiction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is among the therapeutic methods used. This dual-focus approach means that individuals dealing with mental health challenges alongside substance dependence can address both within the same program rather than navigating separate systems.

RESADA serves a notably broad range of populations, including veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors, men, women, individuals requiring HIV/AIDS support, and those with court-ordered treatment requirements. Payment options include Medicaid, self-pay, sliding scale fees, financial assistance, and state insurance — removing financial barriers that commonly prevent rural residents from accessing care. For anyone in Southeast Colorado facing a substance use crisis, RESADA represents a regionally rooted option with the clinical structure to handle detox through ongoing treatment.

Medical Detox and Withdrawal Management in Southeast Colorado

RESADA's medical detox program gives residents of Southeast Colorado access to supervised withdrawal management without having to travel to a major metropolitan area. For individuals in acute need, having a medically supervised detox option within the Lower Arkansas Valley means faster access to care at a critical moment.

Following detox, the continuum of care at RESADA allows patients to step directly into residential treatment or transition to an outpatient program, depending on clinical need. This connected structure reduces the gaps that often cause people to disengage from treatment between levels of care.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment: Substance Use and Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

RESADA is equipped to treat co-occurring disorders, including trauma and PTSD, alongside substance use disorders. This matters because individuals entering detox or residential care frequently carry unaddressed mental health conditions that, if left untreated, increase the risk of relapse.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of the clinical approach at RESADA. CBT is a structured, goal-oriented therapeutic method that addresses the thought patterns and behaviors that underlie both substance use and conditions like PTSD — making it directly relevant to the dual-diagnosis population RESADA serves.
