Flexible Lengths of Stay
Timelines match goals and progress; many residents stay through the first stable semester at work or school.
Sober Living + Intensive Outpatient Care (IOP)
Sober living provides daily structure and accountability; intensive outpatient care (IOP) provides therapy, relapse‑prevention skills, and clinical oversight without 24/7 supervision. If a counselor recommends treatment, start with our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) admissions process to understand scheduling and intake.
Costs, Insurance, and Assistance in Colorado
Sober living fees work like rent plus program supports; health insurance usually covers treatment (like IOP) rather than room and board. Use the FindTreatment.gov locator to compare nearby outpatient options that take insurance or Medicaid.

Community Protections and Fair Housing
People in recovery (not currently using illegal drugs) may be protected under fair‑housing laws. Learn the basics at the Fair Housing Act overview. Policies still prioritize safety and individualized decision‑making within the home.

Our professionally managed women’s residences combine predictable routines—curfews, meetings, and testing—with compassionate, trauma‑informed support so your loved one can regain confidence steadily.
From day one, admissions offers a calm, confidential call to understand goals, timing, and any clinical recommendations, then coordinates a smooth move‑in. We help residents plug into therapy or IOP when appropriate, while the house itself provides the daily accountability that keeps early recovery on track. Practical coaching covers essentials like resumes, job search planning, and transportation so life outside the home becomes structured and sustainable. Because safety and dignity matter, homes are female‑only with peer mentors who model healthy boundaries and encouragement.
Lengths of stay are flexible, aligning with progress in work, school, and family responsibilities. If affordability is a concern, our team helps you compare options and craft a plan that makes sense now while supporting long‑term success. Above all, Eudaimonia focuses on outcomes—stable routines, strong community ties, and clear next steps—so residents leave prepared to maintain sobriety with confidence.
