Medical Wellness Center
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.
