Atlantic Outreach Group - Tybee Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Atlantic Outreach Group - Tybee is a women's sober living home on Tybee Terrace in Richmond, Virginia, an independent city that belongs to no county and sits inside DBHDS Region 4. Virginia's register certifies it at Level of Support 2, the monitored tier.

A Women's Sober House on Tybee Terrace

Tybee Terrace is a short residential street in the 23222 ZIP in north Richmond. The residence serves women at the monitored level, which means written house rules, a house leader accountable for the residence, drug screening, house meetings, and clinical care from providers outside the building. A small street and a small household suit a resident who wants the address to be quiet and unremarkable.

What Monitored Recovery Housing Expects of a Resident

The monitored model assumes a woman can hold a job or a class schedule and keep her own appointments. It supplies the sober address, the housemates who notice, an accountable leader, and an organization above the house that can be escalated to. Anyone who needs staff on site through the day belongs in a supervised residence, and this operator runs nine of those for women.

Certification Is Mandatory for Sober Living Homes in Virginia

The Commonwealth requires every recovery residence to be certified and recognizes two credentialing bodies. VARR accredits this house, and the state publishes the register that records it along with its level. Certification obliges the operator to publish a code of ethics, disclose fees and rules in writing ahead of move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, and accept an outside complaint process.

Women's Recovery Homes and Choosing Between Levels

Fifteen of this operator's thirty-six certified residences serve women, six monitored and nine supervised. Because both tiers are certified and both sit inside one organization, a resident can start where she needs to and move as she stabilizes. The transfer does not restart the application, the fee structure or the relationship with staff.

An Independent City's Certified Recovery Housing

Richmond has no county government above it, so a resident's court dates, community services board appointments, medical care, employment and meetings all fall inside one jurisdiction linked by one bus system. Virginia's Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services assigns the city to Region 4 and publishes the certified list covering every residence in it.
