Dakin House Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Dakin House is a certified sober living home in Denver, Colorado, in Denver County. It is operated by SafeSide Recovery, a peer-led organization running several sober houses across the city.

A Certified Recovery Residence in Denver

Dakin House holds certification through Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado. SafeSide Recovery does not publish a street address for this specific residence, so confirming the exact location and current availability means applying directly through the organization.

A Peer-Led Sober House Model

SafeSide Recovery describes itself as peer-led, meaning the people running its houses carry their own lived experience of addiction and housing instability. Residents face curfews, household responsibilities and regular drug and alcohol testing, the same expectations the organization applies across its other Denver homes.

What Certification Adds to a Denver Sober House

Colorado does not require certification to operate a recovery residence, but it does require certification for a house to accept state referrals and funding under House Bill 19-1009. A certified house agrees to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of rules and fees, and outside complaint review, the practical record a prospective resident can check.

SafeSide Recovery's Denver Sober Houses

SafeSide Recovery operates Zenith House, Athens House and Arcadia House for men and Leona House for women, clustered in northwest Denver near 72nd Avenue and Pecos Street. Dakin House is certified separately from those four addresses, and an applicant can ask how it fits alongside the rest of the organization's houses.

Recovery Housing in Denver County

Denver is both the city and the county, and its size concentrates recovery housing options in one place instead of scattering them across a rural area. Outpatient treatment, courts and public transit are all reachable within the city, a large part of why sober living providers cluster their houses here.
