Addiction and Treatment Statistics for Towaoc, Colorado

Seclusion. Isolation. Natural beauty.

Those are just three common traits that those who are looking to overcome a drug addiction are looking for when deciding where to seek treatment. And for those looking for a place that’s low on distractions but big on natural wonder, there’s the small census-designated place of Towaoc, Colorado, a 1,000-plus person municipality located in southwest Colorado close to the Four Corners.

Towaoc sits almost 6,000 feet above sea level and the area gets about three times more snow than the average U.S. city. Towaoc is the capital of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and is located close to the sacred Sleeping Ute Mountain.
