What a bed costs in Colorado, and what help exists

In Colorado, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $215 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Median gross rent in Colorado sits at $1,761 a month. State funding such as CDOC Community Re-Entry short-term rent and Medicaid HRSN Supportive Housing exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Colorado Behavioral Health Administration is the state agency that oversees this funding.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Colorado

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Colorado. The state's NARR affiliate, Colorado Agency for Recovery Residences (CARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Colorado publishes its certified-residence directory. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Colorado Fair Housing Law (Colorado Revised Statutes Section 24-34-502) protect residents here.
