About this Recovery House
Hazelbrook Sober Living - Kenton House is a sober living home in Aurora, Colorado, in Arapahoe County, one of more than thirty five certified residences that Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes operates statewide.
A Sober House in Aurora, Colorado
Aurora spreads along the eastern edge of the Denver metropolitan area, Colorado's third largest city and one that holds a heavy share of Arapahoe County's population and entry level jobs. Littleton is the county seat. The Anschutz Medical Campus, the Aurora municipal complex and a run of outpatient providers all sit inside city limits, and the R Line light rail follows the I-225 corridor the length of the city, so a resident working, attending outpatient care and keeping a court date does not need a car to do all three.
Certification Behind This Recovery Housing
Colorado does not license sober living the way it licenses a clinical facility. The state instead approves a certifying body, and Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado holds that role today for every recovery residence in the state, including this one. Certification commits the operator in writing to a published code of ethics, to disclosing fees and house rules before a resident signs, to a relapse and discharge policy on paper, and to a complaint process that runs outside the house. Colorado's House Bill 19-1009 ties state referrals and state funding to that certificate, which is why courts and treatment providers work from the directory instead of word of mouth.
A Sober House That Accepts MAT
This residence is recorded in the state certification directory as supporting medication assisted recovery. Someone arriving on buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone can keep the prescription and the address at the same time, instead of facing a choice between the two at the door. That distinction matters most in the first weeks after detox or a hospital stay, when losing housing over a medication is one of the fastest routes back to active use.
An Adults Only Recovery Home
Family housing is not offered through this operator, so children do not live in the house. That is the honest answer for most of Colorado's recovery housing stock, and it is a hard constraint for a parent with custody or working toward it. Settling the question at the first call lets the operator rule the house in or out immediately, before an application is already underway.
Part of a Statewide Network of Sober Living Homes
Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes runs more than thirty five houses for men and women across Colorado, four of them designated Transitional Safety Zone homes, with offices in Aurora and Colorado Springs. Geno Shvedov co-founded the company and directs it today. A house of this size behind one applicant means a poor fit does not require starting over with a new operator, a new application and a new deposit: the same certification and the same intake process carry over to any other address in the portfolio.
What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House
Certification obliges the operator to answer these in writing before anyone signs, so ask at the first call:
- What the weekly fee covers and what it does not.
- Whether a house manager lives on site.
- How bedrooms are assigned and how many people share one.
- What happens after a relapse, and who decides.
- How long a resident is expected to stay.
