Fox House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Fox House is a women's sober house in Aurora, Colorado, in Arapahoe County, certified in the state recovery residence directory and operated by Aurora Sober Living. It is one of six women's residences the operator keeps across the city.

Getting to Work From an Aurora Sober House

Transportation ends more early-recovery housing placements than house rules do. Aurora is unusually forgiving on this point. RTD light rail runs the I-225 corridor through the middle of the city and connects to the Denver Tech Center and downtown Denver, bus routes run the full length of Colfax Avenue, and the Anschutz Medical Campus concentrates a large volume of shift work at one transit-served location. A woman with no car and a new job can hold both.

A Women's Recovery Home in a Larger Network

This house is one address in a phased network with separate men's and women's residences. Applications go to the operator, which means an applicant is considered against every open women's bed instead of one. It also means a move later, to a house with lighter structure or a shorter commute, is handled internally by people who already know the resident.

Certification and What It Obliges

The residence is certified through ORH-CO, Colorado's approved certifying body and the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Certification obliges a house to hand over its fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, work inside a published code of ethics, and answer complaints reviewed from outside. Colorado House Bill 19-1009 requires certification by an approved body before a residence can accept state referrals or funding.

Medication and Subsidy in This Recovery Housing

Medication-assisted treatment is supported across this operator's residences, and rent subsidy is listed as available. Programming is not faith-based, and family housing is not offered.

Arapahoe County Recovery Housing

Aurora sits in the northeast corner of Arapahoe County, with Littleton as the county seat and Centennial and the Denver Tech Center to the southwest. County court business, outpatient providers and the largest concentration of recovery housing in the county all fall inside this corridor. A woman searching for a women's sober living home in Arapahoe County is working from a short list, and most of it is in Aurora.
