Avalon Recovery House is a warm, structured sober living community. We welcome residents of all backgrounds and walk beside them as they get back on track and adjust to daily life — because here, you are never alone.
No matter what your personal needs are, there is a fit for you at Avalon Recovery House. Our home focuses on providing a warm, compassionate community while reducing the stresses of daily life, so residents can focus fully on their recovery.
Recovery doesn't happen alone. It happens in a household of people who hold one another accountable, celebrate one another's progress, and understand the road — because they are walking it too.
Everybody deserves a fresh start. Our Relapse Prevention Program offers a safe, supportive space for residents to plan the next steps in their healing — with a plan for the hard days, not just the good ones.
Avalon is much more than a residence. We give residents practical tools — life skills, coping strategies, and knowledge — that pave the way for long-lasting, healthy recovery well beyond their stay.
An unparalleled support network tailored to each resident's changing needs. Mentoring is at the core of what we do — neighbors helping neighbors get back on track, one day at a time.
A sober living house is a substance-free home for people in recovery — a bridge between treatment and fully independent life. Research consistently shows that where a person lives after treatment strongly affects their chances of staying sober. A stable home, surrounded by people committed to the same goal, changes outcomes.
At Avalon, that looks like a real household: shared responsibility for the home, mutual accountability, structure that makes the days predictable, and housemates who understand the road because they are walking it too. Our Relapse Prevention Program, Recovery Education, and Self-Help Mentoring give residents practical tools — a plan for the hard days, life skills for the good ones, and a support network for all of them.
Every resident's situation is different, and honest conversation beats a brochure. Call (804) 585-8514 and we'll talk through your needs, our house guidelines, and whether Avalon is the right fit — confidentially, and without judgment.

Love, compassion & understanding go a long way
A sober living house is a substance-free home where people in recovery live together with structure, accountability, and peer support as they transition back to independent daily life. It bridges the gap between treatment and living fully on your own.
We welcome residents of all backgrounds who are committed to their recovery. Reach out to talk through your situation — every conversation is confidential, and we'll help you determine whether our home is the right fit.
We serve the Richmond and Henrico, Virginia areas.
No — and the difference matters. Avalon is a sober living house: a substance-free home where people already in recovery live together with structure and peer support. We do not provide detox, medical care, clinical therapy, or inpatient treatment. Many of our residents come to us after completing a treatment program, and some live here while attending outpatient treatment elsewhere. If you need clinical care first, call us anyway at (804) 585-8514 — we'll point you toward the right kind of help. Read more about how sober living works.
People use the terms interchangeably, and you'll also hear recovery housing, recovery residence, and transitional housing — all describing broadly the same thing. Traditionally a halfway house was tied to the court system or a specific treatment program with a fixed length of stay, while sober living homes like Avalon are independent, voluntary, and don't put a clock on how long you stay. What matters more than the label is the house itself: who lives there, what the expectations are, and whether it's genuinely substance-free. Here's what to look for when choosing one.
Residents pay a weekly program fee that covers housing and the support that comes with it. Costs vary between houses depending on what's included, so the honest answer is to call and ask — (804) 585-8514 — and we'll tell you exactly what our fee is and what it covers, with no run-around. We've also written a guide to what sober living typically costs and how people pay for it.
