What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House

Colorado publishes no street addresses for certified recovery residences, so an applicant learns about a specific house by asking. The questions worth putting to the operator are the ones certification obliges an answer to: what the weekly or monthly rate covers and what it does not, what the deposit is and how it comes back, whether a house manager lives on site, how bedrooms are assigned, how long a resident can stay, what happens after a relapse, and how a complaint gets past the house manager. Those answers have to be given in writing before anyone signs.

A Men's Recovery Home in a Phased Network

This house is one of eight men's residences the operator runs in Aurora, and the network moves residents through stages. Structure is heaviest at the entry house and lighter further along, which lets a man progress inside the same organization instead of restarting a housing search every time he improves. Applications go to the operator and are weighed against every open men's bed.

Certification of Colorado Sober Living Homes

The residence is certified through ORH-CO, the certifying body approved by the state Behavioral Health Administration and Colorado's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification commits a house to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an external complaint process. House Bill 19-1009 makes it the condition for taking state referrals and funding.

Medication and Subsidy in This Recovery Housing

Medication-assisted treatment is supported across these residences, rent subsidy is listed as available, and programming is not faith-based. Family housing is not offered.
