Utilities are included.
Q: Will I have my own bedroom?

Q: What is your visitor policy?
A: Visitors are allowed, but they cannot spend the night.
Q: Is there a minimum residency term?
A: Yes, SAL’s lease term will initially be for thirty (30) days, and renewed automatically after the first thirty days on a month-to-month basis. We strongly encourage residents to embrace our substance free apartments for a longer-term stay.
Q: Are pets allowed?
A. Because pet ownership can distract from recovery and complicate any living situation, we do not allow our residents to keep pets with them during their stay.
Q: Are the apartment units gender-specific?
A. Yes, residences at our Scottsdale and Wheat Ridge sober apartments include all-male and all-female shared apartments. However, our apartment complex is co-ed.

Q: Does insurance cover cover sober living?
A: It’s one of the most common questions we hear—and for good reason. Financial concerns can be a real barrier on the path to recovery. So, does insurance cover sober living? The answer depends on your insurance plan and state guidelines. While some insurance providers may cover parts of treatment, sober living is not always classified as a “medically necessary” expense.
At SAL, we believe recovery should be accessible. That’s why we keep our monthly costs affordable and offer supportive resources—like job assistance and transportation—to help ease the financial burden, with or without insurance coverage.
Q: What if I have a felony drug possession or DUI?
A. Here at Sober Apartment Living, we run a background check as a part of our application process to ensure the safety and quality of life for all residents. Being a “sober” living environment, SAL anticipates that applicants may have felony charges related to drug possession or DUI, and we certainly work with all such applicants.
(Again, for safety and quality-of-life reasons, any drug trafficking, terrorist activity, felony assault, and sexual misconduct will disqualify an applicant.)
