Atlantic Outreach Group - Lamb #2 Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Atlantic Outreach Group - Lamb #2 is a men's sober house on Lamb Avenue in Richmond, Virginia, an independent city that sits in no county and inside DBHDS Region 4. It is certified at Level of Support 2 and shares its address with a second certified unit, Lamb #1.

A Men's Sober Living Home on Lamb Avenue

The 2300 block of Lamb Avenue sits in north Richmond, ZIP 23222. Two units at the address hold separate certifications, so the property runs as two smaller men's households instead of one large one. Smaller houses tend to mean fewer people per bathroom and a shorter list of names to learn, and the two units together keep the operator's staff and house leaders close by.

Monitored Certification and This Richmond Sober House

The state lists this unit at Level of Support 2, which the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences calls Monitored. A monitored house runs on written rules with a house leader accountable for it, drug screening, house meetings, and clinical care from outside providers. It fits a man who can hold a job and keep his own appointments, and who needs the address to be sober, structured and answerable.

How Virginia Regulates Sober Living Homes

Certification is mandatory in Virginia, which is unusual. The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services recognizes two credentialing bodies and publishes a register of every residence they have certified, with the level of support for each. That single list is the whole compliance record for recovery housing in the Commonwealth, and it is the first place to check any address advertised as a sober house here.

This is one of thirty-six certified residences the operator runs, twenty-one of them for men. It is a Richmond nonprofit founded in 2010 that began with people reentering from incarceration and built its recovery housing out of demand it kept encountering. Housing sits alongside case management, peer support, life skills training and food assistance, and the operator moved its programs into a twenty-five thousand square foot facility in 2025.

Before You Apply to This Richmond Sober House

Applications go to the operator, which is what makes a multi-house organization worth choosing: a man who applies is considered for whichever men's house has a bed, and a transfer later is a conversation with people who already know him. Ask what the weekly fee covers, what the deposit is, how many men share the unit, and what the house does when someone relapses.
