We exist so that women leaving addiction, incarceration, or detox have somewhere safe, structured, and Christ-centered to rebuild their lives.
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.
The Tri-Cities Area experiences disproportionately high rates of overdose fatalities compared to national averages, leaving a critical gap in safe, structured recovery housing.
Women leaving incarceration or intensive detox face high relapse rates within their first 30 days, largely due to unsafe or unstable living environments.
There is a severe shortage of licensed, gender-specific residential recovery programs throughout the Tri-Cities Area.
Virginia faces a severe shortage of faith-based residential recovery programs, leaving many women without an option that reflects their values.
We don't see clinical care and spiritual care as separate tracks — they work together, every day, in the life of our home.
We maintain full ASAM Level 3.1 therapeutic standards while also employing peer recovery specialists who bring lived experience into daily mentorship.
Unlike secular homes, we leverage deep spiritual trauma-healing frameworks alongside evidence-based clinical practice, rooted in the Celebrate Recovery model.
We've built strategic, institutional trust with Petersburg Courts, corrections counselors, and a strong network of local ministries and non-profits.
Hundreds of women enter local drug courts and regional jails every year — most with nowhere safe and structured to go afterward.
Our home is designed for 10–12 residents, a size optimized for individual safety, close mentorship, and trauma-informed care.
By helping women move from costly state systems into stable employment, we help create tax-paying, independent citizens and healthier families.
