The Next Step

A place to practice what treatment taught you.

Recovery rarely ends when a program does. Sober living is the stretch in between: a supervised, structured home where people new to recovery live together while they get back to daily life. Accountability and monitoring are what make it work, and they are the reason it holds when willpower alone does not.

A sober home is more than an address. Alongside peer support there are clinical staff and an outpatient team, and the week can include counseling, group therapy, and experiential activities drawn from the same approaches we use in treatment. As you start to reintegrate, the house supplies the comfort and connection that make the next phase of life possible.

Most people arrive here from somewhere else. Some have just finished residential treatment and are not ready to go straight home. Others are in intensive outpatient or partial hospitalization and need something to hold the structure between sessions.

  • Returning to a home that will not support recovery
  • In IOP or PHP and needing structure between sessions

How It Works

What the house actually provides.

The structure is doing the work here. These are the parts that carry it.

24-Hour Monitoring

Staff presence around the clock, every day. Accountability that does not clock out in the evening.

Mandatory Outpatient Services

Living here means being in treatment. Residents attend an outpatient program alongside the house, so the clinical work keeps going.

Peer Support

You live with people doing the same work. Daily camaraderie is the point of the place, not a side effect of it.

Daily Structure

Routine, expectations, and the ordinary business of running a household, practiced before you do it on your own.

Sliding Scale Fees

The house offers sliding scale fees, so cost is not the reason someone goes without the housing they need.

Why It Matters

Going straight home is the risk.

When we go back to the same place we were living before treatment, it can be stressful. There can be loneliness, being misunderstood, or simply too much responsibility too soon. Where someone goes after a program is not a small logistical detail. It is often the thing that decides what happens next.

A different environment gives new habits somewhere to take root. Community and accountability are two keys to early recovery, and a house that supplies both every day is better ground than one that supplies neither.

The research supports pairing the two. Among 55 clients receiving combined outpatient treatment and sober living housing, substance use and arrests fell and employment rose by six months, and those gains were largely sustained at 18 months even though most residents had moved on by then. A separate six-month study of 130 residents found similar improvement in abstinence, days worked, arrests, and psychiatric symptoms. How long you stay matters too: among 455 residents across 48 houses, those who stayed at least 180 days reported more days abstinent and fewer depression and psychiatric symptoms than those who left sooner. None of these studies used a control group, so they describe what residents experienced rather than proving the house caused it.

Your outpatient care is likely covered.

Housing and clinical care are billed separately. The outpatient program that runs alongside the house is the part insurance typically covers, and the house offers sliding scale fees. We can check your plan in a few minutes.

Common Questions

Sober living, answered.

What is sober living?
Sober living is a supervised, structured home where people new to recovery live together while they transition back to daily life. It sits between a treatment program and living independently. Alongside peer support there are clinical staff and an outpatient team, and the week can include counseling, group therapy, and experiential activities. Accountability and monitoring are what make the setting work.

How does sober living work?
You live in the house, follow its structure, and attend an outpatient program at the same time. Residents get back to the ordinary business of daily life, cooking, working, keeping a routine, in a setting where that is monitored and supported rather than left to chance. Peer support is daily rather than scheduled, because you live with people doing the same work.

How long do people stay in sober living?
There is no fixed answer, though six months appears to be a meaningful threshold. Stays run from a few months to about a year, and different people need different amounts of accountability and monitoring. In one study of 455 residents across 48 houses, those who stayed at least 180 days reported more days abstinent and fewer depression and psychiatric symptoms than those who left sooner. The right length is the one that leaves you steady, not a number on a calendar.

Where does The Redpoint Center offer sober living?
Our sober living house is in Longmont and serves Boulder County, with 24-hour monitoring, mandatory outpatient services, and sliding scale fees. Our other Colorado offices provide outpatient programs but not housing.

Do I have to be in treatment to live there?
Yes. Outpatient services are mandatory at the house, so living there means being enrolled in a program at the same time. That pairing is deliberate: the housing supplies structure and accountability while the clinical work continues, and the research on sober living is strongest where the two run together.

How do I find a quality sober living house?
Ask the clinicians and staff at the program you are in, because they know the local options and have seen how people do in them. People working in the recovery field can match the level of accountability and monitoring to the person rather than to whatever bed is open. A house that requires outpatient treatment, monitors residents around the clock, and is honest about cost is a reasonable baseline.

How much does sober living cost?
The Longmont house offers sliding scale fees, so the cost is set with your situation in mind rather than as a flat rate. Housing and clinical care are billed separately, and the outpatient program that runs alongside the house is the part insurance typically covers. Call (303) 219-0973 or verify your insurance and we will walk through both sides of it.
