About this Recovery Home
Moton House is a coed recovery residence at 2061 W. Moore Street Unit #1 in Richmond, Virginia, an independent city with no county attached and part of DBHDS Region 4. It is one of eleven certified houses run by Virginia Family Services, and the register lists it at Level of Support 2.
A Coed Sober House in a Two-Unit Building
The address is a unit, and the distinction matters when someone is comparing houses. Unit #1 is its own household with its own residents, and a second certified residence occupies Unit #2 at the same street number. Each unit is registered separately with the state, so the certification, the level and the population served all attach to this household on its own. The house is coed, and the register names women, men, LGBTQIA+ residents, veterans, pregnant women and people with co-occurring disorders among the groups it serves.
Monitored Recovery Housing and the Daily Rhythm
Level of Support 2 is the middle of the three levels Virginia publishes, and it describes a specific arrangement. Residents live in a peer-based household with written house rules, a manager or coordinator responsible for the address, and structured expectations around sobriety, meetings and daytime activity. Clinical treatment happens outside the house. What a resident notices is that the house is neither a rooming house nor a facility: nobody supervises around the clock, and nobody is left to invent a schedule from scratch either.
A Richmond Sober Living Operator That Also Provides Treatment
Virginia Family Services has worked in Richmond since 2012, delivering Addiction Recovery Treatment Services and mental health care alongside its housing. The organization is CARF accredited and a member of the National Association of Addiction Treatment Providers, and it takes Medicaid and most commercial insurance for clinical services. Applications for housing run through the operator, which also does the intake assessment, so one conversation can settle both the bed and the level of care.
What Certification Obliges This Recovery Home to Disclose
Certification in Virginia is a legal requirement, not a marketing badge, and the standards behind it are enforceable. A certified residence has to hand an applicant its fee schedule and house rules in writing before move-in, keep a written policy on what happens after a relapse, and answer to a complaint process outside the household. Anyone can confirm a specific address on the state's register of certified recovery residences, which is published fresh each month.
Recovery Homes on Richmond's Near West Side
The 2000 block of West Moore Street lies just north of the West Broad Street corridor, west of downtown Richmond. Broad Street carries GRTC's Pulse line, the city's bus rapid transit, which puts the state offices, the courts and the VCU Health campuses inside a short ride. For a resident without a car in the first months, that access is the difference between keeping appointments and missing them.
