About this Recovery Home
1685 Monticello Street is a certified sober living home for women in Petersburg, Virginia, inside DBHDS Region 4. Petersburg is one of Virginia's independent cities and lies in no county. Edgewood Group, LLC operates it alongside three neighboring houses on the same block, and the state's register of recovery residences lists it.
A Women's Recovery Residence on Monticello Street
Women live here, and the house rules, sleeping arrangements and shared space are built around that. The address is the third in Edgewood's run of four, 1681 through 1687, and the operator splits the block evenly between women's and men's houses. For a woman coming out of residential treatment, the appeal of a clustered arrangement is continuity. If she needs a different household later, the move is next door instead of across a city, and the bus route, the pharmacy and the job stay where they are.
Choosing Between the Two Women's Houses on This Block
Edgewood runs two women's residences on Monticello Street, this one and 1681, four doors apart. The register lists them identically, so the difference between them is not something a spreadsheet will show. It is the household: how many women are in the house at the moment, how long most of them have been sober, whether the schedules run early or late, and who the house manager is. An applicant who is offered a bed at one address is entitled to ask about the other, and to ask what would have to happen for a transfer between them to be approved. Two houses on one street give a woman a second option without a second application.
Women's Sober Living and the Petersburg Service Picture
Petersburg concentrates a lot into a small footprint. Southside Regional Medical Center serves the city and the surrounding counties. The circuit and general district courts sit downtown. Petersburg Area Transit runs local service, and Virginia State University is across the Appomattox River in Ettrick. Women's recovery housing is scarcer than men's almost everywhere in Virginia, and it is scarcer still south of Richmond, so two women's houses on one Petersburg block represent a real piece of the region's capacity.
Questions to Put to This Sober Living Operator
Applications go to Edgewood Group, LLC. The useful questions before signing anywhere are the ones certification puts in writing:
- What the weekly fee covers, and what a resident pays separately.
- Whether the deposit is refundable, and on what conditions.
- Who is on site overnight, and whether a house manager lives in.
- How bedrooms are assigned and whether they are shared.
- Whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted.
- What happens after a relapse, and who decides.
A certified operator should have those answers ready and should give the same ones twice.
