Blue Haven House Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Blue Haven House is a women's sober house on Coxson Road in Henrico, Virginia, in Henrico County, holding Level of Support 2 certification on Virginia's state register. Personal Solutions Counseling Services operates it as one of four recovery residences it runs in the Richmond region.

A Women's Sober House on Coxson Road

Coxson Road runs through eastern Henrico County in the Varina district, past the Richmond city line and into a stretch of older residential streets and open land. Women here share a single-gender household with a house manager, uniform written expectations and drug screening. The east end of the county is quieter and cheaper than the west, and it is closer to downtown Richmond than the map suggests.

East Henrico County Recovery Housing

Henrico County wraps around Richmond, and its eastern half holds far fewer certified recovery residences than its western half. Henrico's county seat is the independent city of Richmond, which is not part of the county at all, so residents here use county courts and county social services in one direction and the city's in another. Nine Mile Road and Williamsburg Road carry GRTC service toward downtown, which is what makes this address workable without a car.

What Monitored Certification Means for a Recovery Residence

Level of Support 2 on Virginia's scale describes peer-based housing with a manager over the residence and clinical care obtained elsewhere. Certification through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an external complaint process. Virginia grants it address by address and publishes the result, so a case manager can verify this house before making a placement.

Recovery Housing and Outpatient Treatment Under One Operator

The operator is a treatment provider first, running partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, mental health skills building and intensive in-home services out of its Richmond offices. Four certified residences sit alongside those programs. A woman who needs a clinical day and a certified address can get both without coordinating two organizations, and the operator can move a resident between levels of clinical care without moving her out of the house.

Questions a Prospective Resident Should Ask

Applications go through Personal Solutions Counseling Services. Ask what the weekly fee covers, whether the house requires enrollment in the operator's own clinical programs, whether a manager sleeps on site, how transportation to appointments across the county is handled, whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted, and how a complaint escalates past the house to the operator and then to the certifying body.
