Medical Wellness Center
Hazelbrook Sober Living & Recovery offers sober living residences and recovery services in the Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, and Pueblo areas. They provide a structured environment to facilitate lasting recovery from substance use.
The program offers 35 gender-specific homes for men and women, situated in suburban neighborhoods. Their men’s homes operate in Aurora, Westminster, Arvada, Denver, Thornton, Lakewood, Englewood, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. Their women’s houses are in Aurora, Arvada, Denver, and Colorado Springs.
Hazelbrook admits clients 18+ seeking recovery from drugs, including clients with many co-occurring behavioral addictions or mental health disorders. They don’t admit clients with sex crime convictions or mental health disorders.
At the beginning, clients must be at the house by 10 p.m. each night and must attend a weekly house meeting. They must attend 5 recovery meetings a week. The meetings can be ones that Hazelbrook hosts or that an outside organization hosts. One guest can visit newer clients during the week and must leave by 10 p.m.
After clients demonstrate progress in their recovery and make consistent on-time rent payments, Hazelbrook relaxes some of the rules. They receive an 11 p.m. curfew on weekdays and a 1 a.m. curfew on weekends. Clients can reduce their frequency of recovery meetings to 3 times a week. A guest can still visit clients each week, but they can now stay overnight with a manager’s approval.
Clients can come to Hazelbrook’s ParadigmONE dojo for fun sober activities, such as boxing, art classes, music classes, weightlifting, and chess. For additional services, Hazelbrook’s Resource Employment and Learning (R.E.A.L.) Center offers peer support and therapy to aid in recovery.
Hazelbrook also operates several intensive outpatient (IOP) programs, and these meetings can count toward the weekly requirements for their sober living program. Each program has 5 meetings a week, and most include a mix of talk therapy, relapse prevention counseling, and medication management.
The recovery meetings include options for holistic health and fitness support, 12-Step Facilitation meetings, non-12-Step meetings for both drug and behavioral addictions, food addiction groups, Bible studies, self-care strategy meetings, art therapy classes, women’s groups, and men’s groups.
