Hazelbrook Sober Living - Woodburn House Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Hazelbrook Sober Living - Woodburn House is a recovery home in Lakewood, Colorado, one of the Jefferson County addresses inside the larger Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes network.

Why This Sober House Address Is Not Published

Hazelbrook Sober Living Homes states plainly that it does not publish the locations of its houses, on the grounds of resident privacy and anonymity, and the Woodburn House falls under that same policy. Placement runs through the operator, which knows which house has an open bed and which household fits an applicant. An applicant receives the exact address once a placement is agreed.

Sober Living in the Jefferson County Corridor

Lakewood is large enough to carry its own jobs, providers and meetings, and close enough to Denver that little is out of reach. Golden, the county seat, handles Jefferson County business. For anyone without a car, the W Line light rail runs from the Federal Center straight into downtown Denver.

Part of a Statewide Network of Sober Living Homes

The Woodburn 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. A poor fit at one address does not mean starting over with a new operator, application and deposit elsewhere.

An Adults Only Recovery Home

Family housing is not offered here, so children do not live in the house. That is the standard answer across most of Colorado's recovery housing stock, and a firm limit for a parent with custody or working to regain it. Raising the question at the first call lets the operator rule the house in or out immediately.

Nonreligious Recovery Housing in Lakewood

This residence is listed in the state directory as not faith based. No religious practice, belief system or church attendance record is required of anyone living there, and none of the program is organized around one. Colorado has faith based recovery housing that suits the people who choose it, and someone who does not want that model can treat this line as settled.

What to Ask Before Moving Into This Sober House

Certification obliges the operator to put these answers in writing before a resident signs, so ask at the first call:

• What the fee includes and whether utilities and internet are part of it.
• Who is on site overnight.
• How the house handles a resident who relapses.
• Whether medication is stored centrally or kept by the resident.
• How a complaint gets past the house to the operator and the certifying body.
