What is a sober living program?
A sober living program, or recovery home, gives you an alcohol- and drug-free place to live that supports your sobriety and healing. You're surrounded by a sober support network, therapy sessions and a safe setting without the usual distractions.
See the Ascent program in our short video, then check your coverage or call admissions.
Housing that comes with treatment
Ascent is not standalone sober living. You live in an Ascent home while you attend our partial hospitalization program or intensive outpatient program in Lakewood. Treatment by day, a sober home with structure and support by night.
The one requirement: enrollment in our PHP or IOP. If you only need a place to live, admissions can point you to other options.

What clients and families say
I spent 33 days at base camp And was able to detox And learn about my disease and the skills I need to keep moving forward. I am currently In my 2nd month at IOP in Lakewood I love the meetings and the community It has been so helpful and I would recommend it to anybody
I've struggled a few times through the last couple years. Red Rock has been consistent and caring with my recovery. I 100% recommend anyone struggling for the care and focus they provide. Plus the after-program care is top notch
If your loved one is facing addiction, this is the place to be. The entire staff is professional and caring. My son is now in a Red Rocks sober living facility and has been drug and alcohol free for almost three weeks. He is excited about being apart of this program and is embracing his sobriety.
Bre my case worker was amazing in finding me help after treatment . The whole staff was caring and understanding during a hard time . So thankful for all them ! !
This was my first time getting help for my addictions. I learned a lot from group sessions and really appreciated the schedule and staff. I’ve taken a lot of things I’ve learned from base camp with me after. I would 100% recommend Red Rocks to anyone struggling with addiction.
I decided that I couldn’t handle my addiction on my own and contacted Red Rock Recovery Center. They changed my life. From day one, I realized I was in a place where I was genuinely being cared for, by both the staff and the other people in my group. They offer peer support groups and endless sober meetups after you graduate. You’re never left alone. You’re provided with every resource imaginable and are supported for the rest of your life. I’m beyond thankful for RRRC, for their care and for their never ending support. You’re not alone out there. Promise. There is a community out there committed to your wellbeing.
Red Rock has a solid foundation w people who actually care about others at the core of it. I’m extremely grateful to the staff and community of this place and I will always talk highly about the program and most of the therapists. 10/10 would recommend
Absolutely life changing. My kids will never have to live with a drunk mommy and I feel so in control of my own life decisions now that I’m sober. I’m so grateful that I get to live a sober life for and with my children
Questions about Ascent sober living
Can I live at Ascent without being in treatment?
No. Ascent is for clients enrolled in our PHP or IOP; living there and attending treatment go together, which is what makes it different from standalone sober living. Most residents attend partial hospitalization or IOP at our Lakewood center during the day. If you only need housing, admissions can share other options.
Is there a bed available?
Availability changes often, and the men's homes in particular fill quickly. Call admissions to check what is open today; if the homes are full, we can add you to the waitlist and still start your PHP or IOP. We never promise a bed before we speak with you. You can also start admissions online.
How much does Ascent cost?
Rent is paid monthly and is separate from the cost of treatment. Insurance doesn't cover housing, though it can cover the PHP or IOP you attend while living at Ascent. Admissions will give you current rates for shared and single rooms on the call. Read about cost and payment options.
Are the homes men-only and women-only?
Yes. Ascent has separate men's and women's homes, each with its own house manager, and residents share a home only with clients of the same sex. Treatment groups at our Lakewood center are co-ed. Read more about who we help, including LGBTQ+ clients, and call admissions if you have questions about placement.
Can couples live together?
No. Couples can't share a home, and residents don't visit the other houses. Red Rock doesn't offer couples treatment, so partners who both want care are each placed in their own program and home. Admissions can talk through options for both of you. See who we help for more on who our programs fit.
Does insurance pay for sober living?
No. Insurance doesn't pay for the housing itself, but it can cover the PHP or IOP you attend while living at Ascent. Many plans, including Anthem, Cigna, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR and TRICARE, cover our outpatient programs. Admissions checks your benefits before you start. See the insurance we accept.
What are the house rules?
Each home has a house manager on site, weekly and random drug and alcohol testing, house meetings, shared chores and a curfew. Homes follow 12-step principles, and residents check in through the OneStep app. You'll get the full house agreement before you move in. Read what to expect for the rest of daily life.
Do you offer scholarships?
Occasionally, but scholarships are never guaranteed and depend on what is available at the time you apply. Ask admissions whether any options are open when you call; they can also explain payment plans and other ways to make housing work. Read about cost and payment options before you call.
How long can I stay?
Most residents stay about two to four months, or as long as they need. Housing goes with enrollment, so you live at Ascent while you attend PHP or IOP, and your team helps plan the move home or to long-term housing. Read about aftercare and alumni support.
I'm coming from out of state; can I live at Ascent?
Yes, if you are enrolled in our PHP or IOP. Ascent can be your home base in Colorado while you are in outpatient care, close to our Lakewood center.
