Em’s House Foundation was inspired by the life and untimely death of the youngest daughter of our founder, Beckie Watson. Em struggled with mental health and addiction issues through much of her teen years. Despite these challenges, Em selflessly gave her time and meager resources to those in need. When Em died tragically of an accidental drug overdose at the age of 20, our founder was determined to find a way to honor Em’s giving spirit and to help the community.
Em's House Foundation was formed to give a hand up to those in recovery who are dedicated to reclaiming their lives.
The road to recovery can be a bumpy one, but stable housing can smooth the way. We provide high-end housing that exceeds national standards for those in recovery. We are certified by the Colorado Agency for Recovery Residences as a Level II recovery residence. Em's House provides a safe, comfortable, and peaceful housing and recovery environment for people who are working to reclaim their lives.
We provide exceptional sober housing in safe neighborhoods. Our houses are located to provide ready access to medical, psychosocial and educational services. All the homes are located near public transportation and shopping to help broaden the scope of access.
We are more than a safe space; we are a community. We take a proactive approach and focus on individualized recovery plans and group unity through healthy activities, house meetings, and shared responsibilities to help our residents establish bonds with one another.
We support medically approved treatments for addiction and can support dual diagnosis of addiction and depression.
We believe that finances should never stand in the way of recovery. That's why our residents pay a modest $850 per month, which includes all furnishings and utilities. Your generous donations help us bridge the gap, ensuring that everyone has access to the transformative power of our program.
Em's House provides the ideal home for healing and gives our residents a second chance. Join us in creating a place where people can recover and create a new life of success and fulfillment.
