About this Recovery Home
Peter Paul House is a men's recovery residence on Peter Paul Boulevard in Richmond, Virginia, an independent city in DBHDS Region 4. The Virginia state register lists it at Level of Support 2 with accreditation through VARR, and Path Re-Entry operates it as one of two certified men's houses in the East End.
A Men's Recovery Residence on Peter Paul Boulevard
Peter Paul Boulevard sits in Richmond's East End, in the blocks between Church Hill and the Nine Mile Road corridor. This is one of the oldest residential parts of the city, and it is also one of the best served by transit, which is the detail that decides whether a resident can hold a job in the first month. Men live here together under one household's rules. Everyone is working the same problem at the same time, and the schedule assumes each resident has somewhere to be during the day.
What the Virginia Register Shows About This Sober House
The Commonwealth publishes a certified recovery residence register and this house is on it, listed under Path Re-Entry, accredited by VARR, at Level of Support 2, serving men. Each of those entries is checkable. The register is republished on a regular cycle, so a listing is a current statement about a specific address instead of a claim an operator makes about itself. For a family placing someone from out of state, that document does most of the diligence.
Monitored Sober Living and What It Requires of a Resident
Level 2 housing is monitored housing. A resident agrees to screening, a curfew, attendance at house meetings and the authority of a manager, and in exchange gets a household where nobody is using and everyone is accountable to the same expectations. Clinical services come from outside providers. The model suits someone leaving detox, residential treatment or incarceration who needs the structure of a functioning household and does not need medical supervision on site.
Recovery Housing in Richmond's East End
Richmond belongs to no county, and the city carries its own courts, jail, health district and behavioral health authority inside its limits. For a resident of this Richmond sober house, that means the John Marshall Courts Building, the Richmond City Justice Center, the Richmond Behavioral Health Authority and the VCU Health campus are all reachable on a single bus system with no county line to cross. Region 4 holds more certified recovery housing than any other part of Virginia, and the East End is where much of the men's supply sits.
Path Re-Entry Sober Homes in Richmond
Alongside this residence, Path Re-Entry operates Path 1802 House on North 25th Street in Richmond, also certified at Level 2 for men. A man applying to the operator is considered for either address, and a transfer later is a conversation with people who already know him. Certification is granted residence by residence in Virginia, so anyone comparing the two should confirm the specific address they are applying to on the register maintained by Virginia DBHDS. The certifying body itself is the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences.
