Lotus Lodge Sober Living

About Lotus Lodge Sober Living

Lotus Lodge Sober Living is a sober living operator in Aurora, Colorado, running certified recovery housing in Arapahoe County. The company is owned by certified addiction nurses and keeps three houses across Aurora and Centennial, serving men and women in separate residences.

Nurse-Owned Recovery Housing in Colorado

Ownership by clinicians is uncommon in this field and it changes what the operator is equipped to handle. Medication questions, withdrawal symptoms and the practical mess of coordinating a prescriber, a pharmacy and a work schedule are familiar territory to nurses who specialize in addiction. The houses are still housing and not treatment, and the person setting policy has clinical training behind the decisions.

Sober Homes in Aurora and Centennial

Three certified residences carry the Lotus Lodge name, listed in the state directory as Jarvis, Orchard and Uvalda, and the operator certifies in both Aurora and Centennial. The houses are single-gender, with men's and women's residences kept separate, and residents are 21 and older. The two cities sit next to each other in Arapahoe County, so a transfer between houses keeps a resident inside the same job market and the same transit map.

What This Recovery Housing Provider Charges

Rates are published, which is rare enough in Colorado recovery housing to be worth checking against:

1. Housing at $1,050 a month.
2. Case management and peer support at $500 a month.
3. A combined cash rate of $1,550 a month.
4. A $200 intake fee on the housing side.

Scholarships are available for people who qualify, and the state directory lists rent subsidy against this operator. Because case management and peer support are priced separately, an applicant can see exactly what the staffed part of the program costs.

Expectations Across These Sober Living Homes

The same conditions apply at every address. Residents attend a partial hospitalization program, an intensive outpatient program, work or school. They go to recovery meetings. They take on house chores. They stay sober and submit to testing. Medication-assisted treatment, including Suboxone, is accepted, and the Behavioral Health Administration supports medication for opioid use disorder statewide.

Certification and What It Obliges

All of this operator's houses are certified through Colorado's approved certifying body, which is the Colorado affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, and the certification is renewed annually. That obliges each residence to disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, work under a code of ethics, and answer complaints reviewed from outside the house. Under House Bill 19-1009, certification is also the condition for taking state referrals and funding.
