About this Recovery House
Unity Sober Living - 67th is a certified men's sober house in Denver, Colorado, in Denver County, operated by Unity Sober Living across the west and south sides of the Denver metropolitan area.
A Men's Sober House in Denver, Colorado
Denver is the county seat of the City and County of Denver and the center of gravity for recovery services in the state. Most of Colorado's outpatient treatment capacity, its detox beds and its meeting schedule are concentrated here, along with the entry level work that early recovery usually depends on. The transit network covers the city well enough that a driver's license is not the first thing a resident has to solve.
The house serves men only. One gender across the bedrooms, the bathrooms, the common rooms and the weekly meeting means one set of expectations covers everyone under the roof, and nobody is the only man in a mixed building. The street address is not published; placement runs through the operator, which decides which of its houses has an open bed.
What Colorado Sober Living Certification Establishes
Certification is the most checkable fact on this listing. Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado is the certifying body approved by Colorado's Behavioral Health Administration, and the certificate it issues is a set of obligations a resident can hold the house to: fees and rules handed over in writing before move in, a code of ethics the operator has signed, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint route that does not end with the house manager. Certification says nothing about whether a particular household suits a particular person. It does create a record, and a record is what a family comparing options from out of state can actually check.
Structure and the Weekly Rhythm in This Sober House
Unity Sober Living runs the same expectations at every address, and they are the reason a resident chooses structured recovery housing over a room in a shared rental:
- A minimum of three twelve step meetings each week.
- A weekly house meeting every resident attends.
- Daily check ins with the Unity Sober Living team.
- Community events the houses attend together.
- Unscheduled drug and alcohol screening.
The daily check in is the piece that separates this from a boarding house. Someone talks to every resident every day, which is how a household notices a bad week before it becomes a relapse. Unscheduled screening backs it up, and the twelve step requirement means residents are out of the house and in rooms with other people in recovery several times a week.
Where This Sober Living Operator Runs Its Homes
The houses sit across the west and south sides of the Denver metropolitan area: south Denver, Green Mountain and two more addresses in Lakewood, Arvada, Englewood and Bow Mar. A resident who needs a different household, a quieter street or a shorter commute to work can move inside the network without a new application or a new deposit.
Matt Neptune and Devin Lacey lead the organization. The state directory records the houses as not faith based and rent subsidy as available, and family housing is not offered at any of them.
What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House
Certification obliges written answers to all of these before a resident signs anything:
- The move in cost, including any deposit, and when it is refundable.
- Whether employment or school is required, and how soon.
- How drug and alcohol testing is run and how often.
- The curfew and the guest policy.
- What the discharge policy says in writing.
