About this Recovery Home
Hermitage is a coed sober house on Hermitage Road in Richmond, Virginia, in DBHDS Region 4, certified at Level of Support 2 on Virginia's state register. Of the sixteen recovery residences True Recovery RVA operates, this is the one whose register entry names pregnant women among the populations it serves, alongside women, men, LGBT residents, veterans and people with co-occurring disorders.
A Coed Sober House on Hermitage Road
Hermitage Road runs north out of Richmond through the Ginter Park and Laburnum neighborhoods, a corridor of older houses, churches and the fairgrounds, with GRTC service along it toward downtown. A coed household means the house rules covering shared space, visitors and relationships do real work, and a certified residence has to disclose those rules in writing before a resident signs. Anyone who has been turned away from single-gender housing knows how short the coed list is in any city.
Recovery Housing That Accepts Pregnant Women
A pregnant woman in early recovery is looking for a very small number of addresses. Prenatal appointments cannot be rescheduled around a house schedule, medication for opioid use disorder is standard care in pregnancy, and a house that treats either as an inconvenience is not an option. Virginia's register records the populations each certified residence serves, and this one lists pregnant women. That entry is a public statement to the state, which is a stronger signal than anything a listing can claim on its own.
Level 2 Certification and the Public Register
Certification here comes through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences at the monitored level: a house manager over the residence, uniform written expectations, drug screening, and clinical care delivered by outside providers. The state publishes all of it, residence by residence, which means a referring case manager can confirm the level of the specific address before making a placement.
North Richmond Sober Living and Region 4 Services
Richmond is an independent city and belongs to no county, so its services, courts and social programs are the city's own, and Henrico County's begin a few blocks north of this address. The pairing is useful. A resident on Hermitage Road can reach the city's outpatient providers, VCU Health, the courts and the region's community services board without leaving Region 4, and the bus lines along Hermitage and Brook Road make all of it possible before a car is realistic.
Applying to This Coed Recovery Residence
Applications go through True Recovery RVA. In a coed house, the questions to ask are specific: how bedrooms are assigned, what the policy on relationships between residents is, whether a manager is on site overnight, what the weekly fee covers, and how medication for opioid use disorder is handled. Certification obliges written answers, and a resident should ask for them on paper.
