Community Housing That Supports Real-World Recovery
Located in Denver’s Congress Park neighborhood, Mile High Recovery Center integrates sober living into the heart of its treatment model. Clients live in gender-specific recovery homes, where they share routines, responsibilities, and support. This community-focused approach allows residents to stay grounded while rebuilding daily structure. The urban location also allows easy access to employment, transportation, and continued care, helping clients practice recovery where they live, not just where they receive treatment.
Long-Term Structure with Clinical Depth
Unlike facilities that focus on short-term stabilization, Mile High takes a full-year view of recovery. Clients can step through residential treatment, partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient care, all while staying connected to housing and peer support. Throughout each level, care teams provide evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), alongside medications for addiction treatment (MAT). This phased model supports both immediate recovery and long-term sobriety.
Focused Support for People with Mental Health Needs
The center is equipped to treat co-occurring mental health disorders alongside substance use, with trauma-informed therapy at its core, and access to psychiatric care. The facility meets people where they are, catering to LGBTQ+ clients, veterans, and survivors of trauma, providing tailored care in a setting designed to feel both safe and affirming.
Skills That Extend Beyond Sobriety
Recovery includes job readiness, life skills coaching, and support with daily responsibilities. Clients work on building routines, preparing for employment, and navigating the logistics of independent living. These services help bridge the gap between treatment and the pressures of returning home, improving financial stability and self-confidence along the way.
What Patients Say
Patient reviews describe Mile High Recovery Center as life-changing. Many credit the structured long-term care, caring staff, and peer support as key reasons they were able to get—and stay—sober. Alumni often remain involved through a strong alumni program and say the experience gave them lasting friendships and personal growth. Some early-phase concerns about communication were mentioned, but they appear rare and outweighed by positive feedback.
