Community Resources

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a complex medical condition influenced by both biological and societal factors—it’s not your fault, but getting help and following treatment is essential. Whether you’re personally affected, know someone who is struggling, or want to support your community, Northwest Colorado is here to help.

Recovery isn’t a journey taken alone—social connections play a critical role in healing. Whether you are an employer, friend, family member, or neighbor, reaching out can make a difference. Early intervention is key; by offering support sooner, we can prevent worsening challenges and even save lives. Together, we can build a healthier, more connected community.

NOTE: If this is an emergency, call 911 immediately.

Oxford Houses are self run, self supporting, drug and alcohol free recovery homes. We serve any individual looking for housing support who is seeking long term sustained recovery. Member residents of each home run the house together democratically, sharing the bills and the expenses of the home equally, and holding each other accountable for their recovery.

Oxford Houses are a unique concept in recovery living and support: our model encourages the growth of individual responsibility by not having any paid house staff or managers whatsoever, teaching the members of each House to hold each other accountable using recovery principles. Our model has been successful for nearly 50 years, since 1975, with nearly 4,000 Oxford Houses worldwide. Our evidence based approach demonstrates on average that 9-12 months in an Oxford House, coupled with working a recovery program, gives individuals in recovery an 85% success rate for long term sustained and comfortable sobriety.

Community Groups

What if workers from the industry (food/bev/hospitality) with the highest rate of illicit drug use,  third in alcohol consumption, and ranking among the lowest in mental health gained access to mental health, substance use, and addiction resources?  What if they were cared for and had opportunities to learn lifestyle and wellness skills that addresses mental health conditions, substance use disorder, communication, conflict resolution, and how to support each other without becoming the “therapist”?  We imagine a restaurant where the chef and cooks all work collaboratively with excitement and passion.  A bar where the barbacks help spot and stop sexual harassment and assault.

The Steamboat group meets on Tuesdays at 2:30 pm at Rex’s American Grill.
