Life at SafeSide
Residents can expect clear house expectations, household responsibilities, curfews, regular and random drug and alcohol testing, recovery engagement, and support building the skills needed for greater independence.
SafeSide in Colorado
SafeSide’s work extends beyond our Denver sober living homes. We also support recovery and community initiatives in Pueblo through SafeSide Recovery, SafeSide Foundation, The Pueblo Shelter, and local partnerships.
Peer Support is in our DNA.
SafeSide is a peer-led recovery organization. Lived experience shapes how we support people through recovery, housing, setbacks, goals, and the work of rebuilding stability.
In our sober living homes, peer support is part of the environment around residents. People have access to support from professionals who understand recovery and can help with resources, accountability, goal-setting, and next steps.
Sober Living in Denver for Men & Women
SafeSide operates four sober living homes in NW Denver near 72nd Avenue and Pecos Street. Our homes provide a structured, recovery-focused environment centered on peer connection, accountability, and practical support.
We currently operate three men’s homes; Zenith House, Athens House, and Arcadia House, and one women’s home, Leona House.
Each home is designed to help residents build stability, strengthen recovery, and move toward greater independence while staying connected to people who understand the recovery process.
Structure, Accountability, and Support
Recovery housing works best when expectations are clear. SafeSide homes provide structure and accountability while helping residents build the habits, relationships, and practical skills needed for long-term stability.

Recovery Accountability
Regular and random drug and alcohol testing helps support a sober and accountable living environment.

The coaches at Safe Side are awesome! My coach really went the extra mile and took me to appointments as she knew they were big triggers. We're still close to this day. Gratitude :)

SafeSide was great for me. I really needed someone to walk me through the process of how to get my life back together and how to stay straight. Big thanks to all the awesome coaches there!

Over the years I've been through a bunch of different types of therapy, but peer coaching worked best for me. Having the extra access and face-time really makes a big difference when you need help in the moment.
