Addiction and Treatment Statistics for Edwards, Colorado

For those seeking treatment to overcome an addiction, getting away from the familiar confines that may have led to the condition in the first place can often be a recipe for success. And while many choose to seek treatment in a warm weather location, there are plenty of other settings to choose from when it comes to selecting a treatment center. Case in point – the census-designated community of Edwards, Colorado, a 10,000-plus population community nestled in the scenic Rocky Mountains.

Edwards is an outdoor lover’s paradise. It’s located in close proximity to popular ski resort towns such as Vail, and the popular Beaver Creek Resort is just minutes from the city center. Here’s a closer look at why Edwards could be the ideal location to overcome an addiction, from the picturesque mountains to the opportunity in the area that’s available to someone looking to start fresh.

Nearby Airports

While Edwards is a small, relatively secluded municipality, it’s not a difficult one to get to, making getting into town for treatment practical. The closest airport is the Eagle County Regional Airport, which is located about 23 miles away. The next closest airport is Aspen-Pitkin County Airport, which is 88 miles away from Edwards.

As previously noted, Edwards is an outdoor lover’s paradise – especially if they like the snow.

For instance, average temperatures in July are typically in the 70s, while low temperatures in January are in the single digits.

Accommodations

As we mentioned, Edwards is a ski town, with the popular Beaver Creek Resort located nearby. But that’s not the only place to seek overnight accommodations, either for those receiving outpatient treatment in the area or for those who are visiting patients receiving treatment. Other lodging options include the Inn & Suites at Riverwalk, Arrowhead Village and High Life Properties.

Employment Opportunities

One of the other attractive aspects about seeking treatment in Edwards is the opportunity in the area should someone want to start fresh in the area after receiving treatment. The popular Beaver Creek Resort is located just 4 miles away from Edwards, and is a large regional employer. For other opportunities, another popular tourist town – Vail – is just miles away.
