Bridge House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Bridge House is a women's sober living home in Aurora, Colorado, in Arapahoe County, certified in the state recovery residence directory and operated by Aurora Sober Living.

Who This Women's Recovery Home Suits

The house fits a woman coming out of detox, residential treatment or incarceration who has somewhere to be during the day and needs the day to be predictable. It is a poor fit for anyone who needs clinical supervision on site, because this is housing and the treatment happens elsewhere. Family housing is not offered anywhere in this operator's network, so a woman who needs to bring children should settle that before applying.

A Women's Sober House Among Several

The operator keeps six women's residences in Aurora, all at separate addresses from its men's houses. That size has a practical consequence. A woman applying is matched to whichever house has an open bed and the right level of structure, and a later move inside the network does not require a new application, a new deposit or a new explanation of her history.

Certification of Colorado Recovery Residences

Certification comes through ORH-CO, the body approved by Colorado's Behavioral Health Administration and the state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. It requires fees and rules in writing before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and a complaint process outside the house. Colorado House Bill 19-1009 makes certification the condition for accepting state referrals and funding.

Medication and Subsidy in This Sober Living Home

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

Aurora, Arapahoe County and the Denver Metro

Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city and the eastern edge of the Denver metropolitan area. The Anschutz Medical Campus anchors health employment on the north side, RTD light rail runs the I-225 corridor toward downtown Denver and the Denver Tech Center, and Colfax Avenue carries bus service across the whole city. Littleton is the county seat. For a woman without a car, the city keeps a job, an outpatient appointment and a meeting inside one day.
