Tony's Townhouse Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Tony's Townhouse is a men's recovery residence at 1113 Reservoir Street in Harrisonburg, Virginia, an independent city in the Shenandoah Valley with no county attached. Operated by Strength in Peers, it is certified at Level of Support 2 in DBHDS Region 1.

A Four-Bedroom Men's Sober House on Reservoir Street

The operator describes this house as a four-bedroom sober living home for men. Four bedrooms is a small household, and the size does specific work in early recovery: a resident is known by name, the manager notices when someone stops going to work, and the kitchen and bathroom pressure that wrecks larger houses is manageable. Reservoir Street runs along the eastern side of Harrisonburg, on the side of the city closest to the hospital campus and the Route 33 corridor.

What Level 2 Certification Means for This Sober Living Home

Virginia grades certified residences one to three, and Level of Support 2 is the Monitored tier: peer-based housing with written rules, house meetings and a manager who answers for the address, with clinical care delivered off site. Certification itself is compulsory in Virginia. Accreditation here runs through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences, and it obliges the house to publish a code of ethics, disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and accept complaint review from outside the household.

A Men's Recovery Home Run by a Peer Organization

Strength in Peers is built on peer support, and the houses reflect it. The people who staff the work have been through recovery themselves, and residents are expected to stay sober, pursue their own wellness goals and stay engaged in recovery activity throughout the week. The register also names veterans, LGBTQIA+ residents and men with co-occurring conditions among the populations this house serves. The organization's community resource centers in Harrisonburg and New Market give residents somewhere to go during the day that is not the house.

Sober Living in Harrisonburg, Virginia

Harrisonburg is the largest city in the central Shenandoah Valley and an independent city, so it holds the region's institutions in one place: Sentara RMH Medical Center, James Madison University, the city courts, and the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Community Services Board. Interstate 81 and Route 11 run through, the city operates its own bus system, and the poultry, food processing, university and healthcare employers keep entry-level work available. For a man leaving treatment anywhere in the valley, that concentration is the argument for a Harrisonburg address.
