Recover Virginia

        Additional funding sources included donations, fundraising, and grants from community partners such as The Alleghany Foundation, Peoples Bank, SAARA, DBHDS, Dominion Energy, Community Foundation Rockbridge Bath and Alleghany. We offer a free friendly, non-judgmental welcome to anyone who needs help with addiction recovery and/or mental health support. This free service meets the individual where they are at with understanding and compassion. Find hope while developing skills in a low stress environment with sober peers. Each incoming peer signs an agreement to protect everyone’s privacy and confidentiality while building life skills, self-esteem, personal resiliency, and most importantly, sobriety. We find and share resources with people looking to build a support system to help their recovery journey.  We offer groups, meetings, social events, and one on one peer support sessions.  We do this with peers that have the same or similar experience and have been successful in their own recovery process. As we like to say at Recover Virginia, you’re worth it so drop in!

These are some of the accomplishments of Recover Virginia’s Fourth Quarter 2025.

Social Events 

Recover Virginia has hosted three monthly social meals from October 2025 to December 2025.  All of which were at Emmanuel Episcopal Church with 68 individuals in attendance.  These social events are important elements of our growth and for the people in recovery and the public for better understanding of each other.  

Survey and Evaluation of Services 

From October 13, 2025, to October 24, 2025, Recover Virginia asked participants to complete an anonymous evaluation survey. We received 35 responses during this time period. Of those 35 survey responses, the following data was collected: 

• 35/35 Individuals who identified their needs being met by Recover Virginia
• 16/35 Identified Recover Virginia as a safe place/person to talk to.
• 9/35 Individuals who were looking for a specific suggestion or resource for their life.
• 7/35 Who participated because of a specific meeting, group, or scheduled activity.
• 2/35 Were looking for help with a job.
• 1/35 Individuals came to drop off a donation.

 

Recover Virginia’s progress over it's first full year reflects the continued importance of accessible, peer-driven recovery support within the Alleghany Highlands.  Provider choice is very important in peer support services because it ensures that the individual receiving support can connect with someone they trust and relate to, which strengthens the therapeutic relationship. Through the generosity of The Alleghany Foundation, donations, fundraising, and other grants from community partners such as Peoples Bank, SAARA, DBHDS, Dominion Energy, and Community Foundation Rockbridge Bath and Alleghany we’ve expanded services, deepened community relationships, and built a stronger foundation for future growth. We are deeply grateful for your partnership and support in helping individuals find hope, healing, and connection in recovery. We look forward to continuing this meaningful work in the years to come.
