1683 Monticello Street Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

1683 Monticello Street is a certified men's recovery residence in Petersburg, Virginia, in the state's DBHDS Region 4. Petersburg is an independent city with no county above it. The house is the second address in a run of four Edgewood Group, LLC houses on this block, and the Commonwealth's register of recovery residences carries it.

A Men's Sober House Among Four on One Street

Edgewood holds 1681, 1683, 1685 and 1687 Monticello Street, and it runs them as two men's houses and two women's houses. This is one of the men's residences. Single-gender housing keeps one set of rules and one household culture in play, and a street with four recovery residences on it produces something a single scattered house cannot: a neighborhood where the people next door understand what a resident is doing and why the curfew matters.

Central State Hospital and Petersburg's Behavioral Health Services

Petersburg carries more behavioral health infrastructure than a city of its size usually does. Central State Hospital, one of the Commonwealth's own psychiatric facilities, has operated in the Petersburg area for well over a century and remains a major regional employer as well as a treatment site. Southside Regional Medical Center handles the emergency and medical side for the city and the counties around it. District 19 Community Services Board covers Petersburg and the surrounding localities with the outpatient and case management services a man leaving treatment is usually referred to. A resident of this house is inside the same small city as all of it, which is not the case for most of southern Virginia.

Why a Petersburg Sober Living Address Works

Petersburg is a compact independent city at the junction of Interstates 85 and 95, twenty-five miles south of Richmond. Almost everything a man leaving treatment has to reach is inside a few square miles: the city's general district and circuit courts, Petersburg Area Transit routes, and the retail and warehouse employers that hire along the Crater Road corridor. A resident without a car can hold a job and keep an appointment here, which is not true of most towns this size in southern Virginia.

Recovery Housing Across the Tri-Cities and Region 4

DBHDS Region 4 stretches from Richmond down through the Tri-Cities of Petersburg, Colonial Heights and Hopewell. The southern end of that region has far fewer recovery residences than the Richmond end, and most of what exists is concentrated in Petersburg. Someone leaving treatment in Dinwiddie, Sussex or Prince George County usually finds that a Petersburg sober house is the nearest certified option, and the four houses on this block are a meaningful share of the city's supply.

Choosing Among the Edgewood Group Sober Homes

Seven residences carry this operator's name, four here on Monticello Street and three in Richmond. Placement runs through the operator, so a man applying in Petersburg is also in front of the Richmond openings if the fit is better there. Ask what the fee includes, how the deposit is handled, who is on site at night, and what the house does after a relapse. Those answers are the ones Virginia's recovery residence certification process puts on paper.
