'CHASING DRAGON' OF METH IN REGION

The region is number one in the state per capita in meth abuse, second in the state in drug abuse, according to Marcus Flores, coordinator for a project to get a detox and treatment facility in the area.

And Colorado is second in the country in drug and alcohol abuse and 49th in funding, he says.
