Rose House

Rose House operates as a 24/7 residential treatment center with a capacity of 17, situated in Lafayette, Colorado — a setting that naturally fosters the kind of peer accountability central to lasting sobriety. For people ready to commit to a full residential stay, that small community size means treatment happens alongside a close-knit group of peers rather than in an anonymous institutional environment.

The residential program is supported by a clinical team that includes a Medical Director, licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, and therapists with advanced credentials in psychology. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) anchors the therapeutic work, and the program addresses co-occurring disorders, trauma and PTSD, mental health conditions, and process addictions — recognizing that lasting recovery often requires treating the full picture of a person's experience, not just substance use in isolation.

Recovery does not end when residential treatment does. Rose House offers both a standard outpatient program and an intensive outpatient program (IOP) — structured options for people who have completed a higher level of care or who begin their recovery journey in an outpatient setting. This continuum allows individuals to maintain progress while returning to work, family, or community responsibilities.

For the Sober Nation community — people planning long-term recovery rather than a single acute episode — the availability of stepped-down outpatient care within the same center matters. It reduces the disruption of transitioning between providers and keeps clinical relationships intact through each phase of recovery.

Rose House is structured to serve populations that many general rehab programs are not equipped to support. The center explicitly serves women, veterans, pregnant women, young adults ages 18 to 25, seniors and older adults, and people entering treatment through a court order. This is not a one-size-fits-all model — the presence of diverse clinical expertise on staff reflects a commitment to meeting clients where they are.

The treatment program is also built to address co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis from the outset. Conditions treated include trauma and PTSD, mental health disorders, and process addictions alongside substance use — a recognition that these issues rarely travel alone. Families supporting a loved one in recovery will find that Rose House's clinical framework accounts for the complexity that often underlies addiction.

Rose House was founded in 2007 by Marcie Chambers, PhD, who continues to serve as CEO. The leadership structure reflects an academically grounded approach to addiction treatment: the clinical team includes Arshad William, MD as Medical Director, Barbara Flood, LAC, LCSW, PhD — whose doctorate is in Transpersonal Psychology — as a primary therapist, and Shelby Walkinshaw, LPC, PhD Candidate as a primary therapist. This depth of credential across medicine, clinical social work, and psychology is notable for a center of this size.

The center operates in English and accepts private insurance and self-pay, making it accessible to a broad range of clients seeking residential or outpatient addiction treatment in the Boulder County area of Colorado.
