About this Recovery House

Linden House is a sober living home in Aurora, Colorado, in Arapahoe County. It is operated by Em's House Foundation and is certified by Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado.

A Sober House Near East Colfax Avenue

Linden House has no published street number, so this listing anchors on the East Colfax Avenue corridor that runs through Aurora, one of the city's main transit and commercial spines. That access matters for residents rebuilding a daily routine around work, appointments and meetings without a car of their own yet.

Housing Built for a Wide Range of Circumstances

Em's House Foundation describes its mission as providing safe, affordable and compassionate homes for people working to reclaim their lives, and it names several populations it serves directly: veterans, people in recovery from drug and alcohol use, LGBTQ+ residents, people navigating parole or work release, and people experiencing housing insecurity more broadly. Linden House operates inside that wider mission instead of serving recovery residents exclusively.

What Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado Certification Establishes

Certification through Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado, the state's NARR affiliate, requires Linden House to disclose its fees and rules before move-in, follow a published code of ethics, and remain subject to an outside complaint process. Colorado assigns no level to individual residences, so certification is the fact a prospective resident can actually check.
