The Rose House

The Rose House, located in Lafayette, Colorado, provides a unique and empowering sanctuary for women seeking recovery from addiction, trauma, and mental health challenges. Founded by Dr. Marcy Chambers, a PhD and recovering alcoholic, this gender-specific extended care treatment center is dedicated to helping women achieve sustained sobriety and emotional healing. Focusing on the whole person, The Rose House promotes psychological, emotional, physical, spiritual, and cognitive well-being in a safe and supportive environment.

The facility's distinctive approach centers on addressing trauma as the root cause of addiction and mental health issues. Their holistic treatment framework incorporates a wide range of evidence-based and experiential therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), advanced emotion regulation, and specialized trauma therapies like EMDR. Additionally, clients benefit from innovative practices such as art therapy, equine therapy, nutrition education, mindfulness, and yoga. Family sessions are also a key component, fostering healing and support systems.

The Rose House integrates a strong relapse prevention component and encourages active participation in a 12-Step program every evening, alongside community volunteering. The serene 16-bed country cottage outside Boulder offers incredible landscape views and a home-like atmosphere. While fostering a close-knit community where clients share household duties and dine together, the facility also offers opportunities for engagement with various amenities designed to support well-being and recreation, such as walking trails and a fitness center. This intimate setting facilitates long-term recovery in a beautiful and supportive environment.
