ABOUT SOBRIETY HOUSE
Sobriety House is a well-established treatment provider for individuals struggling with substance abuse problems in Colorado. Located in Denver, Sobriety House offers a 28-day intensive residential program, a longer transitional residential program, and outpatient-based programs for adults. Sobriety House does not provide on-site medical detoxification, but it does offer medication-assisted therapy (MAT) to alleviate withdrawal discomfort. Additionally, Sobriety House operates multiple sober living facilities in the greater Denver area.
TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
To assess the severity of addiction and determine the appropriate level of care, clients undergo an initial assessment with an admission coordinator. Sobriety House strongly recommends clients transition through a comprehensive continuum of care, starting with the 28-day residential program.
During the initial residential phase of treatment, clients participate in four group sessions from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. After completing daily programming, clients either attend an evening 12-step meeting or receive individual counseling. The four weeks of the residential program focus on four specific elements of recovery: sobriety maintenance, stress management, assertiveness training, and feelings awareness. In addition to core programming, clients engage in yoga sessions and recreational activities. Ongoing medication monitoring and regular toxicology screenings are also provided.
Following the 28-day residential program, clients are encouraged to enroll in the transitional residential program, which typically lasts between 30 and 120 days. During this phase of treatment, clients continue to attend 12-step meetings, receive individual counseling, and participate in group therapy sessions. Residents also secure full-time employment as part of their treatment plan.
If clients achieve a minimum of 30 days of sobriety, they may transition into one of Sobriety House’s sober living facilities. Although residents are no longer considered in treatment, they must remain sober and adhere to house rules. Residents may also be encouraged to enroll in one of Sobriety House’s outpatient programs. At present, Sobriety House only operates a men’s sober living facility, but there is a women’s-only residence called Stepping Stone available for women enrolled in a residential program.
STAFF CREDENTIALS
According to the facility’s website, Sobriety Home programs are facilitated by master’s level or state-certified substance abuse counselors. Many counselors, administrators, and support staff are also in recovery.
