Background

The Northwest Colorado Opioid Response Council (NWCOR), also known as the Colorado Region 1 Opioid Abatement Council, representing Jackson, Moffat, Rio Blanco, Grand, and Routt Counties, is dedicated to addressing the impacts of the opioid crisis in our region.  NWCOR funding and requirements are guided by the Colorado Opioid Settlement Memorandum of Understanding, the national opioid settlement agreement, and its approved uses.

Through collaborative efforts, we aim to create lasting solutions and foster resilience in the fight against opioid misuse. The NWCOR 2025-2026 priorities focus on developing and sustaining programs that enhance prevention, recovery resources, and workforce development opportunities related to opioid use disorder (OUD) throughout the Northwest Colorado region. Emphasis is placed on ensuring equitable access to these services, particularly in underserved communities, through evidence-based and community-driven strategies.
