Hazelbrook Sober Living - Winona House Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Hazelbrook Sober Living - Winona House is a recovery home in Denver, Colorado, in Denver County, part of the certified network Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes runs statewide.

A Sober House in Denver, Colorado

A sober house in Denver puts a resident inside the state capital and its own county at once. The courthouse, the human services office, an outpatient provider and the meeting list are all local, and buses and light rail connect the neighborhoods without a car. Denver carries the deepest meeting schedule in Colorado, which is what most residents lean on between appointments.

The Certificate This Sober House Holds

The state does not license sober living the way it licenses a clinical facility. It approves certifying bodies instead, and Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado is the one that certifies recovery residences in Colorado today. A certified house commits in writing to a code of ethics, to disclosing fees and rules before a resident signs, to a relapse and discharge policy on paper, and to an outside complaint process.

Who This Sober Living Home Serves

The state directory records three populations this operator serves directly: residents referred by the Department of Corrections, veterans, and LGBTQ plus residents. A person leaving a state facility often carries a parole condition tied to an approved address, a veteran may bring VA benefits into the house, and an LGBTQ plus resident has often already dealt with housing that treated acceptance as optional.

Paying for a Sober House in Denver

Rent subsidy is recorded as available through this operator, and the company accepts Medicaid. For a resident coming out of detox with no savings yet, those two facts are often the difference between a bed this week and one in a month. Utilities and high speed internet are included in what the operator provides.

Nonreligious Recovery Housing in Denver

This house is listed in the state directory as not faith based. No religious practice or belief requirement attaches to the program, and Colorado's faith based recovery housing, which does suit some residents, is not the model here.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House

The certificate obliges the operator to answer these in writing before anyone signs, so raise them at the first call:

• Whether utilities and high speed internet are included in the fee.
• Who is on site or reachable overnight.
• How the house responds if a resident tests positive.
• Whether a waiting list applies before a bed opens.
• What the deposit covers and whether it is refundable.
