Rooted in grace. Built for lasting change.
We exist so that women leaving addiction, incarceration, or detox have somewhere safe, structured, and Christ-centered to rebuild their lives.
Rebuilding lives through grace, structure, and accountability
By His Grace Recovery, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization building a licensed, gender-specific residential recovery home for women in Petersburg, Virginia. We believe lasting recovery requires more than sobriety alone — it requires a safe home, professional clinical support, practical life skills, and a spiritual foundation strong enough to carry a woman through the hardest days of her healing.
Our program blends state-required clinical care with Christ-centered discipleship, mentorship, and community, so every woman who walks through our doors leaves with the tools, faith, and support system to stay free.
Why this home is needed now
Disproportionate Overdose Rates
The Tri-Cities Area experiences disproportionately high rates of overdose fatalities compared to national averages, leaving a critical gap in safe, structured recovery housing.
High Early Relapse Risk
Women leaving incarceration or intensive detox face high relapse rates within their first 30 days, largely due to unsafe or unstable living environments.
Shortage of Gender-Specific Care
There is a severe shortage of licensed, gender-specific residential recovery programs throughout the Tri-Cities Area.
Shortage of Faith-Based Programs
Virginia faces a severe shortage of faith-based residential recovery programs, leaving many women without an option that reflects their values.
Clinical excellence, grounded in faith
We don't see clinical care and spiritual care as separate tracks — they work together, every day, in the life of our home.
ASAM Level 3.1 Standards
We maintain full ASAM Level 3.1 therapeutic standards while also employing peer recovery specialists who bring lived experience into daily mentorship.
Deep Spiritual Healing
Unlike secular homes, we leverage deep spiritual trauma-healing frameworks alongside evidence-based clinical practice, rooted in the Celebrate Recovery model.
Trusted Local Partnerships
We've built strategic, institutional trust with Petersburg Courts, corrections counselors, and a strong network of local ministries and non-profits.
From costly systems to independent, thriving lives
Real Demand
Hundreds of women enter local drug courts and regional jails every year — most with nowhere safe and structured to go afterward.
Focused Capacity
Our home is designed for 10–12 residents, a size optimized for individual safety, close mentorship, and trauma-informed care.
Lasting Economic Impact
By helping women move from costly state systems into stable employment, we help create tax-paying, independent citizens and healthier families.
