More Than a Place to Stay
Urban Recovery RVA provides VARR-certified recovery housing with peer-driven support, reintegration resources, and workforce pathways for men and women across Virginia.
VARR-Certified Recovery Housing
Urban Recovery RVA operates VARR-certified recovery residences — alcohol-free and drug-free living environments for men and women in active recovery.
Our residences are not simply sober housing. They are structured, recovery-oriented households where daily schedules, peer accountability, and reintegration supports create the conditions for lasting change.
- Gender-specific program housing — separate residences designed for the unique recovery journeys of men and women
- Awake staff on site — staff present around the clock to ensure safety, structure, and immediate support
- Structured daily schedules — programming that builds recovery discipline and healthy routines
- Reintegration-focused environment — support that honors each resident's background and goals
- Peer accountability community — residents who hold each other to shared standards and shared purpose
Who Benefits Most?
- Individuals leaving detox or inpatient programs who need a safe, structured transition
- Those whose home environment poses risks to their sobriety
- People in early recovery seeking community, accountability, and support
- Formerly incarcerated individuals seeking structure and reintegration support
- Those seeking connection to workforce development and life skills programming
