Restore Life #3 Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Restore Life #3 is a men's sober living home at 7708 Lancashire Court in North Chesterfield, Virginia, in Chesterfield County. The county seat is Chesterfield Court House and the state places the area in behavioral health Region 4. The residence is certified at Level of Support 2 by the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences.

A Men's Sober House on Lancashire Court

Lancashire Court is a residential cul-de-sac in the 23235 ZIP code, in the older suburban stretch of Chesterfield County just outside the Richmond city line. The house serves men. Restore Life furnishes the living spaces and supplies weekly groceries through donor support, so a man arriving from treatment or incarceration with nothing does not need to assemble a household before he can start working.

Nine Beds in a Five-Bedroom Recovery Residence

The operator publishes the configuration: five bedrooms and nine beds. That is a real number worth having, because it tells a prospective resident what kind of household he is joining. Nine men is small enough that everybody knows who is keeping the rules and who is drifting, and shared bedrooms hold the weekly cost down. It is also large enough to carry a house through the weeks when two or three residents are struggling at once.

What VARR Certification Establishes for This Sober Living Home

Virginia requires recovery residences to be certified. Operating one without a credential is a Class 1 misdemeanor, and the state accepts credentials from exactly two bodies, VARR and Oxford House. This address holds VARR accreditation at Level of Support 2, the tier VARR calls Monitored: a peer household with an identified house manager, written rules and curfew, documented admission and discharge terms, and clinical care obtained from outside providers. Accreditation also binds the house to a published ethics code, written disclosure of fees and rules before move-in, and a complaint process that reaches past the house manager.

What This Recovery Home Provides Beyond a Bed

Restore Life describes a program built around getting a resident back to work. Case management and goal setting are part of it, along with job placement assistance and nutritional guidance from a registered dietitian. Groceries are provided weekly, subject to what donors supply. For a man whose last address was a treatment facility or a jail, those supports matter more than amenities do: the difference between a bed and a program is whether somebody is helping him line up an employer, an ID and a routine in the first month.

Chesterfield County Recovery Housing Outside Richmond

North Chesterfield is a postal name for the part of Chesterfield County that borders Richmond on the southwest, and it puts a resident in a quieter setting with the city's services close by. Chesterfield County has its own community services board delivering publicly funded behavioral health care, and Chippenham Hospital sits in the same corridor. Downtown Richmond, the courts and the region's employers are a short drive up Chippenham Parkway or the Midlothian Turnpike. For men who want recovery housing outside the neighborhoods they used in, a Chesterfield County address is a deliberate choice.
