Faith Recovery

About Faith Recovery

Faith Recovery is a sober living operator in Williamsburg, Virginia, running certified recovery residences in the Historic Triangle. The organization brings more than forty years of experience in addiction recovery to a Christian program that houses men and women separately, and both of its residences appear on the Virginia state register as fully certified.

A Williamsburg Recovery Housing Provider

Faith Recovery is a recovery organization that also houses people, and the distinction shows in how the housing works. The residences supply a stable address, peer accountability and a structured week. Clinical treatment comes from providers a resident sees on his or her own schedule, so prescribers, counselors and meetings stay in the resident's hands. The operator's job is to keep the houses sound, the fees predictable and the expectations identical from one address to the next, which is the part residents notice most.

Men's and Women's Sober Houses in Williamsburg

Two certified recovery residences carry the Faith Recovery name:

• Mooretown, on Mooretown Road in Williamsburg, for men.
• The Rusty Court Women's Home, on Rusty Court in Williamsburg, for women.

Both sit inside the same small independent city, and the organization keeps separate program offices for its men's and women's sides, one on Ewell Road and one on Old Colony Lane. Housing the two populations in different houses means each household runs one set of rules, one set of meetings and one arrangement of shared space, and nobody is the only man or the only woman in a mixed building.

VARR Certification Across Both Recovery Residences

Both houses are certified through the Virginia Association of Recovery Residences and both carry Level of Support 2, the monitored model, on the state register. Certification is residence by residence in Virginia, so an operator holding it on every house it runs has chosen to work inside a published code of ethics, written fee and rule disclosure, a documented relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process that reaches past the house. Virginia also makes certification compulsory: operating an uncertified recovery residence is a Class 1 misdemeanor under state law. An operator with a clean register entry on both addresses is meeting the legal floor and the accreditation standard together.

A Faith-Based Sober Living Operator

The program is explicitly Christian, and that shapes the culture of the houses in ways no rating captures. Prospective residents who want a recovery community with a spiritual center will find that here by design. Anyone who wants a secular house should ask about it early, because the faith component runs through the daily rhythm and not only through optional meetings. Forty years of continuous work in addiction recovery is also a real credential in a field where most operators are less than a decade old.

One Application, Two Recovery Residences

Applications go to Faith Recovery itself. That is the practical argument for a multi-house operator over a standalone sober home: a man is considered for the men's house and a woman for the women's house through one intake, and if the fit turns out wrong after move-in, the conversation is with people who already know the resident. Fees, deposits and expectations are set by one organization across both addresses.

Recovery Housing for the Historic Triangle

Williamsburg is an independent city that belongs to no county, bordered by James City County and York County, and the three together form the Historic Triangle. That geography concentrates services: Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center, the College of William and Mary, the joint Williamsburg and James City County courts, and the outpatient and peer recovery programs serving all three jurisdictions. The regional economy runs on tourism and hospitality, which supplies the entry-level and part-time work that fits around early recovery. An operator based in the city places residents inside all of it. The Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services maintains the statewide register of certified recovery residences.
