Lighthouse

About Lighthouse

Lighthouse is a sober living operator based in Fort Collins, Colorado, running faith-based recovery housing across Larimer County, open to residents of any religious background.

A Fort Collins Recovery Housing Provider

Lighthouse reports having served more than 1,600 program participants with a reported success rate above 80 percent, figures the organization attributes to a program it describes as roughly eight times more effective than traditional 12-step approaches alone.

Homes Across Fort Collins

Two Lighthouse residences carry the organization's name in Fort Collins: Light House Sober Living, the men's house on Mathews Street, and Ponderosa House, a women's residence added as the organization has grown. Separating men's and women's housing into distinct addresses keeps house rules, meetings and shared space specific to one population at each location.

Serving Men and Women in Recovery

The organization's original program served men, and it has since expanded to include women, described on its site as offering safety, structure and sober support for residents new to the women's program.

Two Paths Into the Program

Lighthouse accepts both a standard application and a separate application built for people applying while still incarcerated, which reflects an intake process built to take residents directly out of custody as well as out of treatment.

A Faith-Based Recovery Home

Lighthouse describes itself as faith-based while stating explicitly that it welcomes residents regardless of belief, a distinction that matters to anyone weighing a program's religious content before applying.

Recovery Housing in Larimer County

Fort Collins is the seat of Larimer County and the largest city in Northern Colorado, home to Colorado State University and a full range of outpatient providers that Lighthouse residents can draw on across every house in its network.
