Second Chance Living Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Second Chance Living is a certified sober living home in Thornton, Colorado, in Adams County. The organization operates this residence under the same name it uses for its recovery housing program statewide.

A Certified Sober House in Thornton

Second Chance Living does not publish a street address, a bed count or a fee schedule online, so the practical way to evaluate this house is to apply directly and ask. Certification is the one fact available in advance, and it is a meaningful one.

What Colorado Certification Establishes

Certification through Ohio Recovery Housing – Colorado commits a residence to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, and an outside complaint process. Colorado does not require a sober house to hold it. A house that does has agreed to a standard a resident can hold it to.

Recovery Housing in Adams County

Thornton is one of the larger cities in Adams County, part of the Denver metro area's northern suburbs, with Brighton serving as the county seat. Outpatient providers and employers along the Interstate 25 corridor are within reach of Thornton, part of why recovery housing providers concentrate houses in this stretch of the county.

What to Ask Before Choosing This Thornton Sober House

Because so little is published in advance, the questions worth asking Second Chance Living directly are the ones certification obliges an answer to: what the weekly fee covers, whether a house manager or peer support staff live on site, how bedrooms are assigned, and what happens after a relapse. A certified house has to be able to answer all four before a resident signs anything.
