Christian Recovery Organization & Recovery Support Services in Colorado
Iron House Recovery Homes
The vision of Iron House Recovery Homes (IHRH) is to see people grow and mature together in a God centered environment as they become willing, open, and honest enough to become equipped with the necessary tools to live a healthy and abundant lifestyle.
The mission of Iron House Recovery Homes is to provide a safe and positive living environment from a Christian perspective for those in recovery from addiction and alcoholism, leaving semantics and the opinions of others outside the door. Because He Lives, we can face tomorrow!
To that end, IHRH is committed to serving those seeking recovery housing and other supports who freely choose to engage in a program of recovery in a Biblically Based peer supported trusted servant run living environment.
The goal is to assist individuals sincerely seeking a new way of life by providing the tools and resources necessary to address their own needs and become self-sustaining, accountable, and contributing members of a structured housing model. This model emphasizes accountability through a system of checks and balances for all members and trusted servants. Additionally, it equips members with the skills required for future growth, whether expanding into another house operating under the Iron House Operational Manual or transitioning to their own rental or home purchase.
We guide each member toward community-based supports, including:
- Local church Partnership and Bible studies.
- Faith-based recovery groups & programming.
- 12-step meetings and other recovery organizations.
- Peer Support, Community Resources, other assistance programs.
We believe recovery is not merely achieving freedom from drugs, alcohol, and self-centered behaviors. It is about embracing the freedom to become all that God has created and called us to be. Every member begins with an initial recovery plan, detailing:
- Church engagement: Where they will attend church each week.
- Meeting involvement: What recovery or self-help meetings they will attend.
- Mentorship: Identifying their sponsor, mentor, coach, etc.
- Personal growth: Areas for improvement through Biblical Principles and context of scripture.
Through Christ, members can become good parents, valued employees, loving neighbors, and productive community members. The freedom found in Christ, however, cannot be kept unless it is “given away.” This is achieved by carrying The Message to other addicts, alcoholics, and anyone within the mission’s reach while striving to make Biblical principles the guiding standard in all our worldly affairs.

How It Works
Iron House Recovery Homes (IHRH)
Iron House Recovery Homes (IHRH) is a program and housing model founded and operated by Iron House Inc., a faith-based 501(c)(3) non-profit recovery organization. Designed for success with minimal structure, IHRH operates without traditional house managers or paid staff. Instead, it empowers residents by giving them a stake in their household’s success.
At IHRH, we believe that when people are free to make their own choices about where they live—within a framework of simple yet effective guidelines—they are more likely to thrive and build long-term success. Residents are only required to:
- Stay sober—no alcohol or drug use.
- Follow basic house rules—including a curfew and no overnight guests.
- Commit to personal growth—attend church, meet recovery requirements, and actively seek God.
- Contribute to the home—participate in upkeep and support the shared cost and success of the household.
We do everything we can to give each member a reason to keep moving forward—one day at a time.
A Scalable, Replicable Model
Iron House Recovery Homes is designed to become a standardized, replicable model for sober living—one that can grow and expand without dependence on any single individual. In fact, its growth and scalability are set to empower many! Our structure is rooted in Servant Leadership, Biblical principles, the Church, the Oxford Model, and 12-step recovery programs.
Instead of a traditional hierarchy, IHRH is led by peer leadership and trusted servants, with checks and balances in place to ensure that every resident, servant leader, and household follows the principles, policies, and procedures established within their roles.
By following the example of Jesus Christ and the Gospel, and ensuring that no one person is “in charge,” we believe the Iron House model can operate, grow, and flourish as God wills.

Something Unique
A Unique Benefit: Shared Transportation
One of the most distinctive features of the Iron House Recovery Homes model is access to shared transportation—a vehicle owned by the non-profit and made available for residents. This resource helps individuals improve their lives by providing reliable transportation to job interviews, work, recovery meetings, church, family visits, and other essential activities.
As we continue to develop and refine this model, we are always looking for innovative ways to make it even more effective. Your partnership and support can help us expand these opportunities and impact more lives!

Resource Development
The things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His Glory and Grace. Let’s get people to the resources they need and tell them the Why and the Who while we try to help get them there! Be on the lookout as our resource development is happening behind the scenes of this script in a way most people wouldn’t comprehend. Wait, is it Resource or Wesource?
Multiple Revenue Outlets
Financial Stewardship & Sustainable Growth
At Iron House Inc., one of our core commitments is to establish multiple revenue streams to ensure long-term sustainability and growth. In 2025, we are focusing on airtight fiscal responsibility, wise stewardship, and seeking God’s will in developing and deployment of self-sustaining programs that serve the community of Pueblo and Southern Colorado.
As a faith-based non-profit, it may seem unconventional to prioritize revenue generation. However, by building independent, mission-aligned funding sources, we can continue our work without reliance on government support or donor generosity alone. This approach allows us to pay our own way, ensuring that our mission to serve with love, compassion, & Truth remains strong for generations to come.
While we deeply appreciate the generosity of our donors and have multiple grant proposals ready for application across multiple grants in 2025, we are equally committed to financial transparency and accountability. Every aspect of our organization—including programming, subsidiary LLCs, contractors, partners, corporate officers, employees, and volunteers—will operate with multiple layers of oversight to maintain the highest standards of integrity.
Beyond financial sustainability, our vision is to identify and bridge the ever-changing gaps in recovery services, drug and mental health treatment, and faith-based community support. More than just providing services, we aim to create self-sustaining programs that help people learn, grow, work, teach, love, and pray—ultimately bearing the Fruits of faith, transformation, and lasting change.
