About this Recovery House
Mark's Place is a men's sober living home in Fort Morgan, Colorado, in Morgan County. It is operated by Centennial Mental Health Center, a regional behavioral health provider that runs the home alongside a companion women's residence, Carly's House.
A Men's Sober Living Residence Run by Centennial Mental Health Center
Mark's Place serves men only, and the household is built around peer support and shared responsibility for the house, with clinical supervision left to outside providers. Residents handle their own communal chores, attend house meetings and lean on case management for the practical work of staying housed and employed. The program is voluntary, and a resident can leave at any time, which puts the weight of staying squarely on the resident.
A Short-Term Program Built Around Employment
Centennial Mental Health Center's sober living program runs three to six months, considerably shorter than many recovery residences, and every resident is required to be employed, actively seeking work, or enrolled in education or training. That requirement sets the pace of the stay: Mark's Place is a place to stabilize while building the routine that makes an unsupported apartment realistic within half a year.
Recovery Housing Certification in Colorado
Certification through Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado, the state's NARR affiliate, commits a recovery residence to a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, and an outside complaint process. Fort Morgan sits well outside the Front Range, and a certified residence here is one of relatively few formal options serving northeastern Colorado.
Recovery Housing for Ten Rural Counties
Centennial Mental Health Center's service area covers Phillips, Sedgwick, Logan, Morgan, Washington, Yuma, Kit Carson, Cheyenne, Lincoln and Elbert counties, a stretch of the state where treatment and housing resources are thin on the ground. Fort Morgan, the seat of Morgan County, functions as the hub for that entire region, so a man leaving treatment anywhere in the northeastern plains is likely to land here instead of a smaller town closer to home.
Reaching Mark's Place Through Centennial Mental Health Center
Admission goes through Centennial Mental Health Center's sober living program directly. The organization charges a nominal program fee instead of a market rent, and applicants should ask what that fee covers, how the employment requirement is verified, and what support is available if a job search takes longer than expected.
