MBMS 6 Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

MBMS 6 is a certified sober house at 3908 West End Drive in Richmond, Virginia, inside DBHDS Region 4. Richmond is an independent city and belongs to no county. It is the sixth of the numbered residences My Brother My Sister Foundation operates, and the state's recovery residence register carries it.

A West End Drive Sober Living Home in Richmond

West End Drive sits in the western band of the Richmond area, among the residential streets that run off the main commercial corridors. The practical geography of a sober house here is straightforward: a bus connection into the city, retail and service employers within a short ride, and pharmacies and grocery stores close enough to reach on foot. Five of the foundation's other houses are in the same western stretch of the city, which keeps a resident's providers, meetings and job unchanged if he moves between them.

Moving Between Houses Without Changing Your Week

Most placements that fail do not fail over the program. They fail over fit: a roommate, a schedule, a household that runs at the wrong pitch for one person. An operator with six houses inside a few square miles can treat that as a room change instead of an eviction, and MBMS 6 sits in the middle of that cluster. A resident who moves from here to one of the Gayton Road or Hungary Springs Road houses keeps his employer, his bus route, his pharmacy and his outpatient provider. It is worth asking during the application how transfers are handled, whether a deposit follows the resident, and who makes the call.

Who This Richmond Recovery Home Serves

The state register records the population as individuals in substance abuse recovery. There is no clinical program attached to the house. Residents keep their own prescribers and counselors, and the residence provides the household, the structure and a stable address in Region 4.

Recovery Housing Across Richmond and Sandston

My Brother My Sister Foundation runs nine residences, eight in Richmond and one on Williamsburg Road in Sandston, in Henrico County. For an applicant, that spread is the argument for going to the operator instead of a single address. One conversation covers every opening, and if the fit is wrong after move-in, a transfer is a decision made by people who already know the resident.
