JUST Living Recovery Recovery House

About this Recovery House

JUST Living Recovery is a sober living home in Lakewood, Colorado, in Jefferson County. The nonprofit residence is certified through Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado and was founded in 2018 to serve LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC residents in early recovery.

A Sober Living Operator Built Around Inclusion

JUST Living Recovery is a Colorado nonprofit, and its mission centers on LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC residents, populations that can face added barriers finding recovery housing that feels safe. The organization describes its approach as offering community and family alongside a roof, language that reflects a program built on relationship as much as structure.

What ORH-CO Certification Establishes

Certification through Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado, the state's approved certifying body, requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process. Colorado ties state referrals and funding to that certification, and JUST Living Recovery holds it as a working nonprofit with a public record behind it.

Affordable Recovery Housing in a High-Cost Market

The organization was founded in part to answer Denver-area housing costs, which push many people leaving treatment out of the market entirely. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, JUST Living Recovery can hold fees down in a way a for-profit operator in the same market cannot, which matters most for residents with little income in their first months of recovery.

Recovery Housing in Lakewood and Jefferson County

Lakewood is the largest city in Jefferson County, though Golden is the county seat, and its position just west of Denver gives residents access to the metro area's job market and treatment providers without downtown Denver's cost of living. That mix of affordability and proximity is central to what a Lakewood sober house offers someone rebuilding a routine.
