About this Recovery Home
Russell County Recovery - Rogers Avenue is a men's sober living home in Lebanon, Virginia, the county seat of Russell County. The operator calls it Roger's Residence, a twenty-bed men's house with a resident manager and supervision at all hours, certified at Level 2 with the Commonwealth.
Twenty Beds in a Men's Sober House on Rogers Avenue
Twenty beds makes this one of the larger certified recovery homes in far southwest Virginia, and size brings its own trade. A big house holds more of what a resident needs from other residents: people a few months ahead of him, rides to a meeting, a job lead from someone already working. It also means more housemates to live around and a schedule that has to be enforced. Rogers Avenue sits in Lebanon's residential streets, close to the US 19 corridor that carries most of the town's employment and errands.
Structure and Staffing in This Virginia Recovery Housing
The operator runs single-gender homes with a resident manager on site and supervision twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. In practice a man arriving from detox or a residential program steps into a household where the hours are accounted for and someone is awake at three in the morning. Clinical care stays outside the house. The residence supplies the address, the accountability and the routine, and treatment, medication management and counseling come from providers in the area.
What Level 2 Certification Means on the Virginia Sober Living Register
The Commonwealth's register records this address at Level 2, the tier the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences calls Monitored. It describes a house with an appointed manager, written house rules, documented admission and discharge practice, and peer accountability as the working method. Because Virginia treats uncertified operation as a criminal offense, certification here is no marketing badge. It is the condition of being allowed to operate at all, and the level tells a prospective resident which model of house he is applying to before he visits.
Men, Veterans and Co-Occurring Conditions in This Recovery Housing
The register records the house as serving men, and lists veterans, LGBT residents and people with co-occurring disorders among the populations it accommodates. Co-occurring is the entry that carries the most weight in a rural county. A man managing depression, bipolar disorder or chronic pain alongside a substance use disorder needs a house that treats a psychiatric prescription as treatment, and the operator describes its residents as adults with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental or physical health conditions. Veterans in this part of Virginia travel for VA care, and a stable address is what makes that travel possible.
Recovery Homes in Lebanon, the Russell County Seat
Lebanon holds the Russell County courthouse, the county administration and Russell County Medical Center, and US 19 runs south from town toward Abingdon and Interstate 81. The Clinch River valley around it is rural, with long drives between towns and no local transit to speak of. Recovery homes in the county seat solve part of that by putting a resident inside walking distance of the court, the county offices and a commercial strip, which is as close to a car-free life as this geography allows.
