Sober Living · Commonwealth of Virginia
A new sunrise.
A place to call home.
Virginia Independent Living, LLC operates structured, peer-supported sober living homes for men and women continuing their recovery after treatment. Real houses, real neighbors, real accountability — not a facility.
Our Approach
Structure gives recovery somewhere to stand.
Leaving treatment without support is one of the riskiest moments in recovery. Virginia Independent Living bridges that gap with a routine, a community, and people who've walked the same road.
Accountability
Curfews, chores, and regular drug and alcohol testing keep every household honest and every resident on track.
Peer Community
House mentors with lived recovery experience live alongside residents, offering guidance that comes from having been there.
Independent Living Skills
Budgeting, resume-building, and interview prep sit alongside 12-step support, so independence is a practiced skill, not a leap.
Who We Serve
A house that fits where you are.
Every resident's recovery looks a little different, so we operate distinct homes built around the communities that live in them.
Men's Homes
Structured routines, work duties, and peer accountability for men building new habits together.
Women's Homes
A protective, supportive setting with life-skills coaching tailored to women's recovery paths.
Co-Ed Homes
Shared houses built on mutual respect, structure, and the same rules for every resident.
Re-Entry & Referral
Housing for those stepping down from treatment, PHP, or IOP, coordinated with your care team.
