# Elevate Recovery Homes > Elevate Recovery Homes provides CARR-certified sober living homes for men and women in the greater Denver, Colorado area, offering structured, achievement-based transitional housing for people in recovery from substance use disorder. Residents progress through a phased "Elevation Plan" (Base Camp → Camp 2 → Camp 3 → Summit) built on four pillars: Structure, Accountability, Support, and Action. Elevate partners clinically with True North Recovery Services (TNRS) for residents who also need PHP, IOP, or outpatient treatment. Elevate does not bill insurance directly, since sober living is supportive housing rather than clinical treatment. - Website: https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/ - Phone / Text: (720) 271-3605 - Apply: https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/apply/ - Certification: Colorado Association of Recovery Residences (CARR) certified - Clinical partner: True North Recovery Services (https://tnrs.care/) - Social: Facebook (facebook.com/elevaterecoveryhomes), Instagram (@elevaterecoveryhomes) - Base location: Englewood, Colorado (South Denver metro) --- ## Who We Are Elevate Recovery Homes provides comprehensive post-treatment care to men and women recovering from substance use disorder through transitional, structured sober living. The philosophy rests on four pillars: - **Structure** — a consistent daily routine and structured environment that keeps members focused on recovery goals. - **Accountability** — members are held responsible for their own actions and recovery. - **Support** — a community of like-minded peers working toward similar goals. - **Action** — members are encouraged to actively pursue recovery through therapy, support groups, and other resources. Homes are staffed with a dedicated House Manager, a Certified Addiction Specialist, and Peer Recovery Coaches providing around-the-clock support, plus licensed therapists, counselors, and case managers on staff to meet residents' diverse needs. Community staff also includes an on-staff nutritionist, personal trainer, weightlifting/strength & conditioning coach, and meditation/spiritual development coaches. **From the founder (Bryce Givens):** Elevate was founded on the belief that addiction is a deeply personal, multifaceted disease — recovery is about more than abstinence, it's about rebuilding trust, finding purpose, and redefining one's path. The organization frames itself as a community, not a program or institution. **From the CEO (Robby Mitchell):** Robby is in recovery himself and frames Elevate's core values — built from his own recovery journey — as the foundation of the support Elevate offers residents pursuing long-term recovery. **Team:** Robby Mitchell (CEO), Bryce Givens (Founder), Grant Cannon (Director of Operations — began as a client of the Elevate system before rising to leadership), Kelly Kamm (Admissions Specialist — brings lived recovery experience), Gary Chavez (Property Manager — a graduate of the True North Recovery Services Trailhead Program). --- ## What To Expect / The Elevation Plan https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/what-to-expect/ Elevate is an achievement-based community: members progress through levels with specific tasks and goals that increase responsibility over time, moving toward independence, personal responsibility, financial freedom, and self-discovery. Community staff expertise spans physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual development/coaching, with a network of resources for employment, life-skills development, abuse counseling, and sober advocacy. **Guiding principle:** In the first year of sobriety, residents are encouraged to avoid major life changes (new romantic relationships, career shifts, school enrollment, starting a business) other than seeking employment, to protect a stable foundation for recovery. **Program phases (the "Elevation Plan"):** | Phase | Employment | Curfew | Overnights | Key requirements | |---|---|---|---|---| | Base Camp | Secure/maintain full-time (30 hr/week) | 8 pm | None | Weekly house meetings; monthly All House Meeting + peer-led groups; 2 hrs/month service work; individualized Elevation Plan with Recovery Coach | | Camp 2 | Maintain (30 hr/week) | 10 pm | 1/week | Complete 3 new milestones (Elevation Plan stage 2); same meeting/service requirements | | Camp 3 | Sustain (30 hr/week) | 12 am | 2/week | Complete 3 new milestones (stage 3); same meeting/service requirements | | Summit | Maintain full-time | — | 3/week | Complete the Transition Plan/Roadmap; monthly All House Meeting | **Benefits/amenities across homes:** beautiful, spacious recovery homes; 24/7 live-in House Managers; zero-tolerance substance policy; nightly curfew; group meetings held at the home; guided fellowship program assistance; weekly random urinalysis and breathalyzer testing; individual, group, and family counseling; sober/recovery coaching; family dinners and house meetings; job placement assistance; life-skills workshops; a certified nutritionist and certified strength & conditioning coach on staff; access to community resources; gym memberships; mentorship. --- ## Locations / Houses https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/all-houses/ | House | Area | Page | |---|---|---| | Tufts House | South Englewood | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-living-in-englewood/ | | Winona House | Westminster | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-living-in-westminster/ | | Evans House (Women) | Central Denver | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-living-in-central-denver-for-women/ | | Sully House | Northglenn | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-living-in-northglenn/ | | Zuni House | North Denver / Boulder Turnpike | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-living-in-north-denver/ | | Penrose House | Centennial | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-living-in-centennial/ | | Bryant Gardens | North Englewood | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-homes-in-bryant-gardens/ | | Jay House | Arvada | https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/sober-living-in-arvada/ | Evans House is the designated women's home; the rest primarily serve men (per site navigation labeling).

The admissions team runs a supportive pre-assessment covering: current living situation, substance use history, medical background, family history, and insurance coverage (insurance is verified for coordination with outpatient/clinical partners, not for Elevate's own housing fees — see Insurance FAQ below). **Four-step admissions process:** 1. **Reach Out to Admissions** — via contact form, call/text (720) 271-3605, or email; an admissions coordinator guides the process. 2. **Tell Us Your Story** — pre-screen assessment covering substance use history, treatment history, and goals. 3. **Approval & Move-In Planning** — house location, intake, and move-in date are coordinated. 4. **Arrival & Orientation** — intake completed at the main office, house rules and community guidelines reviewed, then transport to the new home to meet the community and get settled. --- ## Clinical Partnership: True North Recovery Services Elevate Recovery Homes has partnered with True North Recovery Services (TNRS) to extend care beyond sober living into a full clinical continuum. TNRS has movement integrated into every program except Outpatient (OP). - **Residential Treatment** — 24/7 supported, structured, distraction-free environment for building a recovery foundation before stepping down to PHP or IOP. https://tnrs.care/ - **Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)** — evening sessions, 90 min gym + 90 min clinical, multiple daily cohorts, designed for people working or in school full-time; in-network coverage. https://tnrs.care/php-in-denver/ - **IOP – 5 Days a Week** — 9–19 hours/week, gym + clinical groups, morning or afternoon cohorts; in-network with major carriers plus Medicaid. https://tnrs.care/active-intensive-outpatient-program/ - **Outpatient** — weekly individual therapy plus optional group, talk-therapy only (no movement integration), for step-down or long-term maintenance. https://tnrs.care/outpatient-program-in-denver/ Residents can use insurance for these outpatient/clinical services through TNRS while living at an Elevate sober home; Elevate's team can help connect residents to partner providers for clinical services during their stay. --- ## Insurance & Cost Elevate Recovery Homes does **not** accept insurance for sober living itself — most sober living homes don't bill insurance directly because sober living is considered supportive housing, not clinical treatment. Many residents separately use insurance for outpatient treatment, therapy, or recovery programs (e.g., through TNRS) while living in Elevate housing. --- ## FAQs (from homepage "Ask Us Anything") **What is sober living?** Safe, structured housing for people transitioning from treatment back into everyday life — not inpatient treatment, but a recovery-focused living environment for maintaining sobriety while rebuilding independence. Residents typically work, attend outpatient treatment, go to school, or participate in recovery programs while living with peers who share similar goals. **How does sober living work?** A drug- and alcohol-free environment; structured house guidelines and accountability; random drug and alcohol testing; peer support and community connection; required participation in recovery meetings; leadership development and personal growth opportunities — bridging inpatient treatment and fully independent living. **How is sober living different from rehab?** Sober living is a structured, substance-free residential environment for people transitioning out of inpatient treatment or detox, but it is not a clinical treatment program — residents can work, attend school, and come and go during the day while still following house rules, curfews, and regular drug testing. **Do I need to come straight from treatment to move in?** No — not always required. Sober living suits anyone committed to maintaining sobriety and building a stable lifestyle, whether stepping down from treatment or simply seeking a structured environment. **Does Elevate accept insurance?** No, not for sober living itself (see Insurance & Cost above); residents can use insurance separately for outpatient clinical services through partner providers like TNRS. **How long can I stay?** Most residents stay 3–12 months, based on individual recovery goals and progress; some stay longer if still benefiting from the structure and community. The goal is a strong foundation before transitioning to independent living. **What rules do residents follow?** Maintaining sobriety; participating in house meetings/recovery activities; respecting curfews and house policies; keeping shared spaces clean. Full expectations are on the Admissions page. **Is Elevate certified/accredited?** Yes — certified by the Colorado Association of Recovery Residences (CARR), the state's accrediting body for recovery residences, which reviews homes regularly against standards for safety, ethical operations, peer support, and quality of care. --- ## Other Site Sections - Why Us / About — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/why-us/ - FAQs (full page) — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/faqs/ - Blog — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/blog/ - In The Community — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/in-the-community/ - Referral Partners — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/referral-partners/ - Contact Us — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/contact-us/ - Anonymous Tips & Concerns (feedback) — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/anonymous-tips-concerns/ - Privacy Policy — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/privacy-policy/ - Group Activities in Sober Living — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/group-activities-in-sober-living/ - Tips for Maintaining Sobriety — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/tips-for-maintaining-sobriety/ - Transition to Independent Living — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/transition-to-independent-living/ - Men's Unique Physical Healing (recovery/wellness content) — https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/mens-unique-physical-healing/ --- *This file was generated to summarize the public content of https://elevaterecoveryhomes.com/ for large language model reference (llms-full.txt format).
