About this Recovery House
Hazelbrook Sober Living - Clifton House is a sober house in Aurora, Colorado, in Arapahoe County, one of more than thirty five certified homes Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes runs statewide.
Sober Living in Aurora, Arapahoe County
Colorado's third largest city, Aurora is also the largest in Arapahoe County, spreading east from the Denver line toward the plains. County courts and the county seat sit in Littleton. Along the I-225 corridor the R Line light rail runs the length of the city, and the Colfax, Havana and Chambers bus grid covers an outpatient appointment, an Anschutz Medical Campus shift or a probation check-in without a car.
Part of a Statewide Network of Sober Living Homes
The Clifton House is one of more than thirty five that Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes operates across Colorado, four of them designated Transitional Safety Zone homes, out of offices in Aurora and Colorado Springs, under co-founder and director Geno Shvedov. That scale means a house that turns out to be a poor fit does not require starting over with a new operator, application and deposit.
The Certificate This Sober House Holds
A body approved by Colorado's Behavioral Health Administration handles certification for every recovery residence in the state. Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado holds that approval today, having taken over the state directory when the Colorado Association of Recovery Residences closed in 2025. Its certificate binds the house to a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, a relapse and discharge policy on paper, and a complaint process outside the house.
Nonreligious Recovery Housing in Aurora
This residence is listed in the state directory as not faith based. No religious practice, belief system or church attendance record is required of anyone living there, and none of the house structure is organized around one. Colorado has faith based recovery housing that suits the people who choose it deliberately.
Paying for a Sober House in Aurora
Rent subsidy is recorded as available through this operator, and the company accepts Medicaid. For a resident coming out of detox with no savings and no paycheck yet, those two facts are often the difference between a bed this week and one in a month. Ask for the exact weekly figure and the deposit in writing, along with what each covers, since utilities and high speed internet are included in what the operator provides.
What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House
Certification requires the operator to disclose these in writing before an application is final, so raise these questions early:
- The full monthly cost, including anything billed separately.
- Whether a bed is open now or the house keeps a waiting list.
- What the house expects in the first thirty days.
- How house meetings and testing are scheduled.
- What written documents an applicant receives before signing.
