Mile High Recovery Center helps people rebuild their lives with support that lasts. No matter the substance, clients receive personalized care that meets them exactly where they are. Whether clients need medical detox, structure in early sobriety, or support as they rebuild their lives, Mile High offers a flexible range of care designed to evolve as clients progress in sobriety. And while the clinical program is strong, it’s the people who make this place different.

Get Support that Lasts as Long as Needed

Mile High Recovery was built from the ground up with one goal: to walk with people through every stage of recovery for as long as it takes. What started in 2016 as one sober living house has grown into a full menu of treatment options, including detox, residential, outpatient, and sober living. The team is made up of skilled professionals—many in recovery themselves—who bring empathy and lived experience to the work. Their strong connection to Denver’s LGBTQ recovery population and robust alumni program further create a network of support for all clients.

Walk In and Feel the Difference

When clients walk into Mile High, it doesn’t feel clinical—it feels like a community. Exposed brick walls, warm, natural light, and thoughtful touches like a pride flag and alumni milestones on display create an atmosphere of hope. Set right in the city center, clients experience the energy of the city while being surrounded by a tight-knit recovery family.

Stay Connected and Strong after Treatment

Support after treatment doesn’t end, it evolves. Through their alumni app, clients stay connected with peers and staff right from their phones. Alumni return weekly to stay grounded, while monthly and quarterly events bring everyone back together to share stories and celebrate progress.

Receive Daily Care that Supports Body, Mind, and Spirit
At Mile High Recovery Center, each morning begins with a nourishing meal prepared by an on-site chef, fueling both body and mind for the work ahead. As the Denver sun rises, clients center themselves in small-group meditation or 12-Step meetings. Throughout the day, powerful group sessions and one-on-one therapy offer space to be heard, challenged, and supported. Afternoons bring creative expression in art therapy or physical renewal in the gym, helping clients reconnect with themselves on every level.
Feel the Power of Shared Experience
Feel the Power of Shared Experience
Group therapy is where clients stop feeling like they’re the only one. In honest, unfiltered conversations, clients sit with peers who have walked through the same struggles—sharing stories, challenges, and breakthroughs. When shame is met with empathy, change becomes possible, and knowing they’re not alone can bring strength to carry them into a new life.
Build Lasting Roots in Denver’s Sober Community
Build Lasting Roots in Denver’s Sober Community
Mile High Recovery sits at the heart of one of the country’s strongest recovery communities, where clients have access to 12-step meetings, thriving sober living options, and a network of people who understand long-term sobriety. Public transportation makes it easy to stay connected, while friendships, softball teams, and shared experiences carry clients forward long after treatment ends.
Heal through Relationships, Not Just Treatment
Heal through Relationships, Not Just Treatment

Clients work with experienced professionals who take time to listen and get to know them. The environment is healthy, supportive, and filled with staff and peers who show up for each other daily.
