Tony's Apartment 202 Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Tony's Apartment 202 is a men's recovery home at 917 North Main Street in Harrisonburg, Virginia, an independent city in the Shenandoah Valley belonging to no county. Strength in Peers operates it as a certified recovery residence at Level of Support 2 in DBHDS Region 1.

An Apartment-Based Men's Sober House

The address is an apartment, and that shape suits a particular resident. A smaller unit means fewer housemates, more quiet and a household that looks closer to independent living than a full house does. It is the kind of placement that works for a man who has already held a bed somewhere more structured and is moving toward his own lease. The unit serves men, and the register names men as its population.

North Main Street and This Harrisonburg Recovery Residence

North Main Street is US Route 11 heading north from downtown Harrisonburg, and the same organization runs a second, larger men's house farther down the same street. The corridor carries city bus service and a run of retail, food service and light industrial employers, with downtown, the courts and the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board a short ride south. Sentara RMH Medical Center and James Madison University sit on the city's east and south sides.

What the State Register Establishes About This Sober Living Unit

Virginia requires certification of recovery residences and publishes a register of certified addresses each month. This unit is on it, accredited by VARR at Level of Support 2, the Monitored tier. Certification means fees and house rules are disclosed in writing before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy exists, the operator works under a published code of ethics, and complaints can be reviewed outside the household. It is granted unit by unit, which is why an apartment carries its own entry instead of sheltering under the operator's other addresses.

Peer-Run Sober Living With a Step-Down Option

Strength in Peers runs four certified residences in Harrisonburg, three houses and this apartment, plus community resource centers in Harrisonburg and New Market. A resident can move between them as his needs change without leaving the city, the bus routes or the peer staff who already know him. Expectations stay the same across the group: sobriety, personal wellness goals and steady engagement in recovery activity through the week, with clinical care from providers in the city.
