About this Recovery Home
Cardinal House is a coed recovery residence at 2069 W. Moore Street Unit #2 in Richmond, Virginia, an independent city with no county and part of DBHDS Region 4. Virginia Family Services operates it, and the state lists it as certified at Level of Support 2.
A Coed Sober House That Accepts Pregnant Residents
Pregnant women are named on this house's register entry, and very little recovery housing in Virginia says so. A pregnant resident in early recovery is managing prenatal care, often a medication for opioid use disorder, and sometimes a child protective services plan at the same time. A household that has agreed in advance to accommodate that will not read a stack of medical appointments as noncompliance. The house is coed, and the register also names women, men, LGBTQIA+ residents, veterans and people with co-occurring disorders.
Treatment and Recovery Housing From One Organization
Virginia Family Services has provided Addiction Recovery Treatment Services and mental health care in Richmond since 2012. It is accredited by CARF, belongs to the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, and accepts Medicaid along with the major commercial plans for clinical services. Because the operator also holds the housing, a resident's assessment, outpatient schedule and address are arranged by the same staff. That matters most for the residents whose treatment is medically involved.
What Certification Requires of This Recovery Home
Certification is compulsory for recovery residences in Virginia, and the standard behind it is concrete. The house must disclose its fees and rules in writing before a resident signs, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, operate under a published code of ethics, and submit to a complaint process outside the household. Accreditation here comes through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences, one of two bodies the state recognizes.
Level 2 Sober Living in a Unit Building
The address is a unit, and a second certified residence occupies the other unit at the same street number. Each has its own residents, its own register row and its own Level of Support 2 rating, the Monitored tier. Peer accountability and written expectations carry the structure; clinical care is delivered elsewhere. Someone who needs supervision on site should look at a higher level of care, and someone who needs a stable address with rules should look here.
Richmond Recovery Housing and the West Moore Street Cluster
Nine of the operator's other houses sit on this street, with one more on West Leigh Street a few blocks away. The concentration gives residents something a standalone house cannot: a transfer inside the same organization, on the same bus lines, with the same fee structure, if the fit turns out wrong. Richmond itself supplies the rest, from the city's community services board to the outpatient providers clustered around the VCU Health campuses.
