About this Recovery Home
Winterleaf is a men's sober house on Winterleaf Drive in Richmond, Virginia, in DBHDS Region 4. Virginia's state register certifies it at Level of Support 2 under M3 Bridge Recovery, and its register entry lists men, veterans, LGBTQIA+ residents and men with co-occurring disorders among the populations served.
A Men's Sober House on Winterleaf Drive
Winterleaf Drive runs through the residential subdivisions of far south Richmond near the Chesterfield County line, off the Hull Street and Chippenham corridors. The household is single-gender, managed, and governed by one written set of expectations. Men move in with somewhere to be during the day or find somewhere quickly, and the routine of the house is built on that assumption.
Three Men's Sober Homes in One South Richmond Cluster
The operator runs two other men's residences within a few miles, on Waldor Drive in Richmond and Dorset Court in North Chesterfield. A tight cluster has a specific benefit after move-in. A resident who needs different housemates, or whose job moves, can change houses without changing his bus route, his meeting or his outpatient provider, and the people approving the move already know him.
Level 2 Certification Under Virginia's Mandatory Regime
Virginia is one of a small number of states where recovery residence certification is compulsory, and only two credentialing bodies are recognized. This residence holds accreditation through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences at the monitored level, which puts a manager over the house, written rules under every resident, drug screening in the routine, and clinical care with outside providers. The state publishes the entry, so a referring case manager can verify the address and its level before a placement.
Serving Veterans and Men With Co-Occurring Diagnoses
The register's population field for this house names veterans, LGBTQIA+ residents and co-occurring disorders. A veteran needs a household that works around appointments the VA schedules, and a man managing a psychiatric medication alongside a substance use disorder needs a house that treats the prescription as part of his recovery. Both are recorded on a state filing for this residence, which is the strongest starting point a listing can offer.
Peer Coaching and Employment Readiness Around the House
M3 Bridge Recovery operates as a faith-based recovery community organization, and its housing sits inside a wider set of services: peer recovery coaching, life skills, employment readiness and recovery support. That structure gives a resident somewhere to take the practical problems that end tenancies, from a lost ID to a first paycheck. A prospective resident should ask whether faith-based programming is required or offered, and get the fee schedule and discharge policy in writing.
