What sober living costs in Colorado, and how residents pay for it

The going rate for sober living in Colorado is around $215 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Median gross rent in Colorado sits at $1,761 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through CDOC Community Re-Entry short-term rent and Medicaid HRSN Supportive Housing or similar state funding. The agency behind it is Colorado Behavioral Health Administration.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, financially self-supporting and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Is sober living regulated in Colorado?

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Colorado. Colorado Agency for Recovery Residences (CARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Colorado Fair Housing Law (Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-34-502).
