Thank you DBHDS! It his high time for the State to get a handle of the growing problem of Recovery Reidences who do not actually have the peers best interest in mind and who are not certified or recognized by any accrediting agency. Pepole who are actively trying to recover are being used like pawns in sone instances and it is imperative that Virginia not become like Florida. Having standards will assure that all Recovery Residences in Virgina are operating  with the same goal in mind: recovery! Both VARR and Oxford House are good choices.
