About this Recovery House

Hazelbrook Sober Living - Cody House is a certified sober house in Lakewood, Colorado, in Jefferson County, one address among more than thirty five that Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes runs statewide.

Recovery Housing in Lakewood, Jefferson County

Lakewood runs along the western edge of the Denver metropolitan area, the biggest city in Jefferson County and the one that holds most of its employment. County offices and the district court sit in Golden, the county seat, a short drive northwest. Belmar and the Union Boulevard corridor carry much of the retail and service hiring, and the W Line light rail links the whole stretch to downtown Denver.

What Colorado Sober Living Certification Establishes

Certification is the most checkable fact on this listing. Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado is the body Colorado's Behavioral Health Administration has approved to certify recovery residences, and the certificate it issues obliges the operator to hand over fees and rules in writing before move in, to a signed code of ethics, to a written relapse and discharge policy, and to a complaint route past the house manager. It says nothing about fit. It creates a record a family comparing options from out of state can check.

Part of a Statewide Network of Sober Living Homes

This house belongs to a portfolio of more than thirty five that Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes runs across Colorado, four of them designated Transitional Safety Zone homes, out of offices in Aurora and Colorado Springs, under co-founder and director Geno Shvedov. That scale means a poor fit does not force a resident to start over with a new operator, application and deposit elsewhere.

Nonreligious Recovery Housing in Lakewood

The state directory records this residence as not faith based. Nothing about the house requires a religious practice, a church attendance record or a particular set of beliefs, and none of the program is built around one. Colorado has faith based recovery housing that works well for the people who choose it. Someone who does not want it, or has already left a house that required it, can treat the question as closed.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House

Being a certified operator obliges the operator to put these answers in writing before a resident signs, so ask before signing 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.
