About this Recovery Home
Jackson House is a coed recovery home at 2057 W. Moore Street Unit 1 in Richmond, Virginia, an independent city belonging to no county and covered by DBHDS Region 4. Virginia Family Services runs it, and the August state register lists it as certified at Level of Support 2.
A Coed Sober House on Richmond's Near West Side
Unit 1 is a separate household from the unit next to it, and both hold their own certification. The block is quiet and residential, a few minutes' walk from the West Broad Street corridor, and it holds several more of the operator's houses. Living inside that cluster has a practical effect: house managers know each other, transfers between addresses are internal, and a resident who needs a different set of housemates does not have to leave the neighborhood to get one.
Certified Recovery Housing Under Virginia Law
Virginia requires certification. Operating a recovery residence without it is a Class 1 misdemeanor under state law, and the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services recognizes two credentialing bodies, the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences and Oxford House. This house is accredited through VARR. What that buys a resident is enforceable: written disclosure of fees and rules before signing, a written relapse and discharge policy, a code of ethics the operator has agreed to, and a complaint route that does not dead-end with the house manager.
What Level of Support 2 Means for Sober Living Here
Virginia grades certified residences on a three-point scale, and this one sits at 2, the tier VARR names Monitored. Residents keep their own prescribers and their own meetings. The house supplies the address, the peer accountability, house rules and a manager who answers for the property. Nobody is clinically supervised on site, which makes the level a poor match for someone who needs medical oversight and a good match for someone leaving detox or residential treatment with somewhere to be during the day.
A Recovery Residence Backed by an Outpatient Provider
Virginia Family Services has delivered addiction and mental health treatment in Richmond since 2012 and carries CARF accreditation along with membership in the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers. The same organization does the assessment, the outpatient work and the housing, and it bills Medicaid and commercial plans for the clinical side. Residents with co-occurring conditions, one of the populations the register names for this house, get the most out of that arrangement.
Recovery Homes in Richmond and Region 4
Richmond is Virginia's capital and an independent city, so its courts, its community services board and its state agencies all sit inside the same jurisdiction as the house. Someone with a probation appointment, a Medicaid application and a job interview in the same week can do all three without leaving the city. That density is why Region 4 carries the deepest supply of certified recovery housing in the state.
