Next Journey - Chambers 1 - Men's Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Next Journey - Chambers 1 - Men's is a men's sober house on Chambers Street in Norfolk, Virginia, an independent city in Hampton Roads with no county attached. It is a certified recovery residence operated by Next Journey VA, listed at Level of Support 2 in DBHDS Region 5.

A Men's Sober House on Chambers Street

Chambers Street lies in the eastern part of Norfolk, near the Military Highway corridor and the commercial district around it. The operator runs a second men's house two doors down, and the pair function as separate households at separate addresses, each with its own register entry and its own residents. The house serves men only. That restriction is what most applicants are checking first, because it decides who shares the bathroom, who is at the house meeting and whose rules apply.

What VARR Certification Commits This Recovery Home To

Certification is mandatory for recovery residences in Virginia, and this one is accredited through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences. The commitments are specific and can be held against the house: a published code of ethics, fees and house rules disclosed in writing before anyone moves in, a written policy for relapse and discharge, and a complaint route that goes outside the household. Level of Support 2, the Monitored tier, tells an applicant what kind of house this is: peer-based, with written expectations and a manager answering for the address, and treatment delivered off site.

Getting to Work From This Norfolk Recovery Residence

The Military Highway corridor a short distance away holds warehouse, retail, auto and food service employers, and Hampton Roads Transit routes run it. Naval Station Norfolk, the port terminals, the Sentara medical campuses and the universities are all inside the same city. A resident at Level 2 is expected to be occupied during the day, and eastern Norfolk is one of the easier places in Hampton Roads to satisfy that expectation without a car.

Men's Recovery Housing in Region 5

DBHDS Region 5 covers Hampton Roads and the eastern edge of the state, and Norfolk carries most of its certified recovery housing. For a man leaving detox, jail or residential treatment somewhere in the region, that concentration is the reason to look here first. This operator alone runs two certified men's houses in the city, so an applicant is considered for both addresses through one conversation.
