The Promises Sober Living

About The Promises Sober Living

The Promises Sober Living is a sober living operator in Pueblo and Aurora, Colorado, part of the Denver metro area's recovery housing network. The organization, also known as the Promises Reunification and Recovery Program, built its model around one goal: helping mothers involved in Department of Human Services cases achieve stable housing on the way to reunification with their children.

A Denver-Area Recovery Housing Provider for Mothers

The Promises Sober Living is a housing and case-support organization instead of a clinical provider. Residents keep their own outpatient treatment, therapists and caseworkers, and the operator's job is to hold the housing steady, keep expectations consistent, and document progress in a way DHS reunification cases require. That distinction matters to a family evaluating the program from outside the state: the structure is built around a legal and social work process, not a treatment protocol.

Serving Pueblo and Aurora

The operator runs certified sober living homes in two Colorado cities:

• Promises South, in Pueblo, for women.
• The Iola house, in Aurora, for women.

One sits in southern Colorado's Arkansas River valley and the other in the Denver metro area, which gives the operator a footprint on both sides of the Front Range and a place for a resident to transfer if her case or her circumstances change.

The Rise, Thrive and Empower Program Structure

The Promises Sober Living organizes its residents through three stages, described on its own site as Rise, Thrive and Empower. Every resident enters the structure at the same point regardless of which house she lives in, so the program stays consistent between Pueblo and Aurora even though the cities themselves are hours apart.

Certification Through Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado

Both Promises South and the Iola house are listed with Ohio Recovery Housing - Colorado, the state's NARR affiliate and the successor to the Colorado Association of Recovery Residences. Certification commits the operator to a published code of ethics and an outside complaint process at both addresses, and Colorado does not publish a level for either one.

A Program Tied to Family Reunification Cases

Because the mission centers on DHS reunification, The Promises Sober Living works most directly with women who already have an open case and a caseworker tracking their progress. Housing here functions as part of that documented plan instead of a standalone recovery placement, which is the detail that separates this operator from a general sober living provider.

Reaching The Promises Sober Living

Applications and referrals go through the organization directly. Caseworkers and prospective residents should ask which of the two houses has an opening, how progress through Rise, Thrive and Empower gets reported back to DHS, and whether a transfer between Pueblo and Aurora is possible if circumstances change.
