McShin Recovery Resource Foundation

The McShin Foundation, established in 2004, is a leading non-profit Recovery Community Organization (RCO) based in Richmond, Virginia. Dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by Substance Use Disorders (SUD), McShin offers peer-to-peer recovery support services within a social model framework. Their 15,000-square-foot Recovery Community Center operates 365 days a year, providing a welcoming environment for those seeking recovery.
Among their comprehensive programs is the 28-Day Residential Program, which offers safe halfway housing, daily recovery education, relapse prevention groups, individualized recovery coaching, and connections to clinical services such as medical detox and therapy. Participants engage in various activities, including museum visits, art groups, and outdoor adventures like rock climbing and white-water rafting. Additionally, McShin provides specialized services through their Pregnant and Parenting Women's Recovery Home, known as Destiny House, offering a supportive environment for mothers and their children.
McShin serves adults aged 18 and over who are new to recovery, have a history of relapse, are transitioning from incarceration or other institutions, or are seeking aftercare post-treatment. They emphasize active participation in recovery activities and integration into the Richmond recovery community. With 16 recovery residences offering over 150 beds, McShin ensures same-day access to housing and peer support services, enhancing the chances of sustained recovery for their participants.

Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like McShin Recovery Resource Foundation provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

McShin Recovery Resource Foundation offers 3 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.

The facility utilizes 7 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Family Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.

Under the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, most commercial insurance plans are required to cover substance abuse treatment. McShin Recovery Resource Foundation works with 24 insurance providers. Call (833) 567-5838 to verify your specific coverage and learn about out-of-pocket costs before admission.
