About this Recovery House
Unity Sober Living - Acoma is a sober living home for men in Denver, Colorado, inside Denver County, and one of the certified addresses in the Unity Sober Living network.
A Men's Sober House in Denver, Colorado
Denver is both the state capital and a county in its own right, which concentrates an unusual amount into one municipal boundary. Courts, state offices, county human services and the densest set of outpatient providers in Colorado all sit inside the city. Light rail and the bus grid reach most of it, so a resident without a car can still keep appointments across town.
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.
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.
Certification Behind This Recovery Housing
Colorado routes recovery residence certification through a body approved by the state Behavioral Health Administration. Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado holds that approval and maintains the state directory, work it took over when the Colorado Association of Recovery Residences closed in 2025. Certification binds a residence to a published code of ethics, to written disclosure of fees and house rules before anyone signs, to a written policy covering relapse and discharge, and to a complaint process that runs outside the house. House Bill 19-1009 made certification the gate for state referrals and state funding, so a certified address is the one a treatment provider or a court can point someone toward.
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.
Medication Supported Sober Living
This residence is recorded in the state directory as supporting medication assisted recovery. Buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone are all prescribed treatments for opioid use disorder, and housing that accommodates them lets a resident stay on a plan a prescriber built. Anyone arriving on a medication should still confirm how doses are stored and whether the house requires proof of a current prescription, because those details vary between operators even when acceptance does not.
What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House
Certification obliges written answers to all of these before a resident signs anything:
- What the weekly fee covers and what it does not.
- Whether a house manager lives on site.
- How bedrooms are assigned and how many people share one.
- What happens after a relapse, and who decides.
- How long a resident is expected to stay.
