Aurora Sober Living

About Aurora Sober Living

Aurora Sober Living is a sober living operator in Aurora, Colorado, running certified recovery homes for men and women across Arapahoe County. Its houses appear in Colorado's statewide directory of certified recovery residences, and it keeps a separate page for each residence it operates.

An Aurora Recovery Housing Provider

The company describes its homes as affordable, furnished and clean, and its model is gender-separated transitional housing, with treatment handled elsewhere. Residents bring their own clinical care and their own meetings. The operator supplies the property, the household, the house rules and the coaching, and it also offers recovery coaching as a separate service in Aurora.

Men's and Women's Sober Houses in Aurora

The operator publishes each residence individually. The men's houses are Anchor House, Atticus House, Serenity House, Journey House, Clarity House, Integrity House, Empowerment House and Pathways. The women's houses are Asher House, Truth House, Fox House, Bridge House, Hope House and Banks House. Anchor House is named as the phase one men's residence and Asher House as the phase two women's residence, so the network is built to move a resident through stages instead of holding everyone at one level of structure indefinitely.

A Phased Approach to Recovery Housing

Phasing is the distinguishing feature of this network. A resident entering at phase one lives with the tightest expectations, and a resident who has held a job and a routine for months moves to a house that assumes it. The benefit is that progress does not require leaving the operator, finding a new landlord and explaining a recovery history to a stranger. It happens inside a system that already has a record of how the resident has done.

Certification of These Colorado Sober Homes

Colorado's recovery residences are certified by ORH-CO, the body approved by the state Behavioral Health Administration and the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Every one of this operator's residences is listed there. Certification requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process outside the house. House Bill 19-1009 ties state referrals and funding to it. An operator that carries certification on every address has chosen to work inside that framework across the whole portfolio.

Medication, Subsidy and Programming

The state directory records medication-assisted treatment as supported across these residences and rent subsidy as available. Programming is not faith-based, and family housing is not offered. For a referral source screening a placement, those four lines settle whether a client on buprenorphine, or a client who needs help with rent, can be sent here at all.

Serving Aurora and the East Denver Metro

Aurora is the third-largest city in Colorado, holding the eastern half of the Denver metropolitan area. The Anschutz Medical Campus concentrates health employment and outpatient providers on the north side, RTD light rail runs the I-225 corridor, and Colfax Avenue carries bus service across the city. Littleton is the seat of Arapahoe County. Concentrating this many recovery homes inside one city means a resident who changes houses does not change jobs, buses or providers.
