2205 3rd Avenue Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

2205 3rd Avenue is a certified men's sober living home in Richmond, Virginia, inside DBHDS Region 4. Richmond is an independent city and lies in no county, so the city is the unit of geography for a search like this one. Edgewood Group, LLC operates it beside its women's house at 2203 3rd Avenue, and the state's register of recovery residences carries it.

A Men's Recovery Residence on 3rd Avenue

Men live here. The house next door at 2203 serves women, and running the two as separate households on one street lets the operator keep single-gender rules without giving up the advantages of a cluster. Residents at both addresses share a block, a bus stop and a set of neighbors, and a resident who needs to change houses inside the same organization does not have to change anything else about his week.

What the Certified Listing Does and Does Not Tell You

A place on the state register settles one question and leaves several open. It confirms that the residence operates lawfully in a state where uncertified recovery housing is a crime, and that a credentialing body the Commonwealth recognizes holds this operator to a written standard. It does not tell a prospective resident the weekly fee, the number of beds, whether rooms are shared, how a relapse is handled, or what the house is like at nine o'clock on a Tuesday night. Those belong in a phone call with the operator, and the answers should be consistent from one Edgewood address to the next. Inconsistency between houses is itself useful information, and it is the kind of thing certification exists to catch.

Men's Sober Housing on Richmond's North Side

North Richmond, the 23222 ZIP, is one of the city's two main recovery-housing districts. Its advantage is position: residential streets and modest rents, with downtown, the Virginia Commonwealth University health system, the courts and the state agencies a short GRTC ride away. For a man leaving detox, residential treatment or the Richmond City Justice Center, that is the difference between a housing plan that works on day one and one that depends on a car he does not have.

Applying Through This Sober Living Operator

Edgewood Group, LLC runs seven houses across Richmond and Petersburg, so an application here reaches more than one address. Ask about the weekly fee and what it covers, the deposit terms, overnight coverage, bedroom assignment, the policy on medication for opioid use disorder, and what follows a relapse. Virginia's recovery residence certification process is what puts those commitments on paper.
