About Mile High Recovery Center
Mile High Recovery Center began in 2016 when Founder and CEO Brice Hancock opened his first sober living house in Denver, Colorado. It has since grown to nine sober living homes and a 12-bed treatment center accredited by The Joint Commission and certified by LegitScript.
Mile High Recovery Center is run by a passionate team of skilled professionals, many of whom are in recovery themselves. This fact promotes compassion and a judgment-free environment while cementing solid ties to the Denver recovery community. In addition, the active alumni of Mile High Recovery Center are a vital component of the long-term approach to recovery.

Why we are here
A Need for Drug and Alcohol Rehab in Denver
In a city the size of Denver, there is a real need for drug and alcohol rehab and treatment. The city of Denver boasts a population of just over 700,000, and the greater metropolitan area of ten counties pushes that to almost 3 million people. In a population that large, there are plenty of individuals struggling with addiction. Our mission is to serve as many of them as we can, from the first call through treatment and years into recovery.
Detox is coordinated through our partners. Everything after it happens here.
While we treat the full range of substance use disorders, most of our clients come to us for alcohol, fentanyl and other opioids, and methamphetamine. These substances are often associated with party culture, and Denver’s nightlife and brewery culture make alcohol hard to avoid. LGBTQ+ Denverites are affected by substance use at higher rates than the general population (SAMHSA), and a significant share of our clients and alumni are LGBTQ+.
Reach out to Mile High Recovery Center today to start your journey towards recovery.

Our approach
Why Choose Mile High Recovery Center?
At Mile High Recovery Center, we work with an individual until they are whole. Our levels of care range from residential to sober living and everything in between. We employ evidence-based clinical therapeutic approaches with holistic therapies to address the client’s body, mind, and spirit.
Each of these treatment regimens will be tailored to your individual needs. At Mile High Recovery Center, we understand that addiction is different for everyone, and there is no one-size-fits-all. We believe that a long-term approach with a personalized treatment plan and community support is the best recipe for success.
A multi-phase extended treatment program may include
Residential Treatment
12 beds, most stays 20 to 30 days with 30 or more recommended.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Intensive, five days a week, with high accountability.
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)
Including Suboxone, Vivitrol, and other anti-craving medications, but not methadone.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Less intense than PHP, with an expectation of reintegrating into the surrounding community while still receiving regular support.
Sober Living or Recovery Housing
We started with sober living and know the value of a safe and supportive living environment conducive to recovery.
