Mile High Recovery Center

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.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

Mile High Recovery Center offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. Mile High Recovery Center works with 24 insurance providers.
