Why Choice House?

Choice House was built by starting with a simple question: what does a man actually need to get sober and stay sober? The answer shaped everything — the 90-days of residential care, a full continuum of care with one team and community, the clinical depth, the outdoors, then fun. We built Choice House for that.

The reality of addiction treatment in this country is that most programs are doing the best they can within serious constraints. Insurance timelines, regulatory pressures, limited resources. That kind of care is important, accessible, and for many people it’s exactly what’s needed – but some men need more. We built Choice House for them.

Choice House asks for the whole job. Not part of it. Our clinicians, staff, and alumni are invested in outcomes, not just admissions. Families are part of the process from day one. And when a man graduates from Choice House, he isn’t beginning his journey — he’s already well into it, and he’s prepared to live.

The Difference

Located in Boulder County, Colorado, Choice House is a long-term addiction treatment program for men. Our year-long continuum of care begins with a 90-day Residential Program in Boulder and continues through Transitional Living and Step Down programming in nearby Louisville. 

Set at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, our campuses provide the ideal environment to combine meaningful outdoor experiences with our unique clinical approach. We believe lasting recovery takes time, which is why we built our long-term model. 

At Choice House, men become part of a genuine community built on accountability, connection, and growth. Through that community, they develop the skills, relationships, and foundation needed to create a sustainable life in recovery.

We aim to cultivate a strong sense of brotherhood because we believe meaningful connection and community are among the most powerful elements of the recovery process. We intentionally create an environment where men can build trust, practice vulnerability, and develop lasting relationships that support long-term growth.

Our team is committed to helping each individual develop healthier ways of living, stronger coping skills, and a deeper sense of purpose. Recovery is about more than abstinence—it’s about building a foundation for a fulfilling life.

We believe lasting recovery begins with a willingness to embrace change, engage with community, remain open to new perspectives, and practice principles that support personal and spiritual growth.

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we

honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.”

our mission

To help the men who entrust their recovery to Choice House develop an unshakable foundation
 that guides their journey to freedom, personal growth and lasting sobriety.

Why Choice House ?

Most programs ask men to get sober. We ask them to build a life. Here's what makes that possible:

  • Time

    Ninety days of residential treatment followed by structured transitional living — because lasting change often doesn’t happen in only 30 days

  • Depth

    Masters and PhD-level clinicians with small case-loads, a staff of over 50% Choice House alumni. A trauma and attachment lens of everything we do. Experiential work that goes beyond the office. Weekly psychiatric and medical support.

  • Brotherhood

    At any given time, up to 22 men are living and healing together at our residential facility — and roughly 35 on our transitional living campus. These are intentionally small communities. Men who eat together, struggle together, challenge each other, and show up for each other every day. The brotherhood that forms here is one of the most powerful forces in long-term recovery — and it doesn’t end when treatment does.

  • Boulder, Colorado

    Our residential facility sits at the edge of the Flatirons. Monday and Friday outdoor adventures aren’t a perk — they’re clinical. Nature and challenge are part of how we treat addiction.

  • Talk to us

    When you call Choice House, you talk to Phil, Davis, Sterling, or Jordan. People who know every client by name. That starts at the first call and doesn’t stop.
