Truth House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Truth House is a women's sober living home in Aurora, Colorado, in Arapahoe County, certified in the state's recovery residence directory and operated by Aurora Sober Living. It is one of the operator's women's residences in a network that keeps men's and women's houses entirely separate.

What a Women's Sober House Settles

Single-gender housing is not a small preference. For a woman leaving treatment, it determines who is in the kitchen at midnight, who shares a bathroom, and whether a house meeting is a place she can say something difficult. Every resident here is a woman in recovery, and the house rules are written for one household.

Affordability and Rent Subsidy in Recovery Housing

Rent subsidy is listed as available against this operator in the state directory, and the operator describes its homes as affordable and furnished. That combination addresses the reason most placements fail in the Denver metro, which is money. Market rent across Arapahoe County has outrun the wages a woman is likely to earn in her first six months back at work, and a subsidized bed in a furnished house is often the only version of this that adds up.

Certification of This Colorado Recovery Residence

Certification comes through ORH-CO, the body approved by the state Behavioral Health Administration and Colorado's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. It binds a residence to disclosing fees and rules in writing before move-in, keeping a written relapse and discharge policy, following a published code of ethics, and answering complaints reviewed from outside the house. Colorado House Bill 19-1009 ties state referrals and funding to that certification, which makes the directory the working list for case managers across the state.

Medication Supported Sober Living for Women

Medication-assisted treatment is supported across this operator's residences. Programming is not faith-based, and family housing is not offered. A woman on a prescribed medication for opioid use disorder does not have to choose between the medication and the address.

Recovery Homes in Aurora and Arapahoe County

Aurora is the third-largest city in Colorado, holding the eastern half of the Denver metro. The Anschutz Medical Campus is inside the city, RTD light rail runs the I-225 corridor, and Colfax Avenue carries bus service from end to end. Littleton is the seat of Arapahoe County. Women coming out of treatment in the smaller communities on Colorado's eastern plains generally find Aurora is the nearest place where work, treatment and transit all exist together.
