About this facility
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.
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.
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.
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.
