JUST LIVING: A SANCTUARY FOR TRANSFORMATION
Just Living Recovery (JLR) is more than a sober living home; it's a beacon of hope, a sanctuary where individuals reclaim their lives from the grips of addiction. Founded in 2018 to address the critical need for safe, affordable, and inclusive recovery housing, JLR is a haven specifically designed for the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, who often face unique challenges on their sobriety journey.
Located in the metro Denver area, where the cost of living can be a significant barrier to recovery, JLR provides a lifeline. We understand that addiction doesn't discriminate, and neither do we. Our doors are open to all, embracing diversity in every form, from gender identity to socioeconomic background.
"At Just Living Recovery, we don't just offer a roof over your head; we offer a community, a family," says Executive Director Linda Barringer. "We see you, we hear you, and we support you every step of the way. Our mission is to empower you to break free from addiction and rediscover the joy of living."
We believe that finances should never stand in the way of recovery. That's why our residents pay a modest $600 per month, which includes utilities. Your generous donations help us bridge the gap, ensuring that everyone has access to the transformative power of our program.
Join us in creating a world where addiction is no longer a life sentence, but a stepping stone to a brighter future. Together, we can empower individuals to rise above their struggles, embrace their true selves, and build lives filled with hope, healing, and lasting recovery.
