About this Recovery House
Lotus Lodge - Orchard is a certified recovery residence in Centennial, Colorado, in Arapahoe County, operated by a nurse-owned company that keeps three sober living homes across Centennial and Aurora.
Recovery Housing in Centennial
Centennial was incorporated in 2001 out of unincorporated Arapahoe County and sits between Aurora to the east, Littleton to the west and the Denver Tech Center to the north. Littleton is the county seat, so court obligations and county services are a short trip. The Tech Center is the largest office employment concentration on this side of the metro and is served by RTD light rail. Centennial recovery housing trades the density of central Denver for quiet residential blocks inside the same job market.
What This Sober Living Home Charges
The operator publishes its rates: $1,050 a month for housing, $500 a month for case management and peer support, $1,550 a month combined, and a $200 intake fee. Scholarships are available for those who qualify, and the state directory lists rent subsidy against this operator. Seeing the staffed services priced separately tells an applicant exactly what is being bought beyond a bed.
Expectations in This Certified Sober House
Residents are 21 and older and live in single-gender houses. They attend a partial hospitalization program, an intensive outpatient program, work or school. They attend recovery meetings, carry house chores, stay sober and submit to testing. Medication-assisted treatment, including Suboxone, is accepted.
Certification and What It Guarantees
Every Lotus Lodge house is certified through Colorado's approved certifying body, ORH-CO, the state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, and renewed each year. Certification commits a residence to written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and an external complaint process. Colorado House Bill 19-1009 ties state referrals and funding to it.
Clinician Ownership Behind This Recovery Home
The company is owned by certified addiction nurses. For a resident managing medication alongside a job and a program schedule, having clinical training behind the house rules is a practical advantage, and it is unusual enough in Colorado recovery housing to be worth asking about directly.
