Recovery & Reentry Housing
A safe, sober, structured home to start from.
A house, not an institution
Our recovery residence is a small, supervised home in Lynchburg, designed to feel like what it is: a place to live. A live-in house manager keeps the home safe, stable and sober, and helps residents stay on track with their goals.
The residence is designed to meet national recovery-residence standards (NARR Level II) and Virginia's certification requirements for recovery housing.
Our first home is in development. Applications are being collected now, so we can open with the right people and the right supports in place. Add your name.
