What a bed costs in Colorado, and what help exists
The going rate for sober living in Colorado is around $215 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. Against that, the median gross rent in Colorado is $1,761 a month. For those who cannot pay, CDOC Community Re-Entry short-term rent and Medicaid HRSN Supportive Housing are among the state-funded routes used. Colorado Behavioral Health Administration is the state body to start with.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are accepted by a house vote, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Certification and oversight in Colorado
Colorado does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Colorado Agency for Recovery Residences (CARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. The certified-residence register for Colorado is online here. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Colorado Fair Housing Law (Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-34-502).
