Rebuilding Life Sober Living Home · Mount Jackson, Virginia
Sober Living in the Shenandoah Valley for Men
A Christ-centered home for men who are already sober and ready for what comes next.
Not detox, clinical treatment, or a licensed treatment program.
Before you call
Be honest with yourself first.
This house is for you if…
- You’re already sober and you intend to stay that way
- You can hold a job, or you’re ready to find one within 30 days
- You’re open to church, Bible study, and prayer as part of your week
- You want structure: curfew, chores, screening, house meetings
- You’re willing to live alongside other men doing the same work
It probably isn’t the fit if…
- You’re still using, or you need medical detox first
- You’re looking for treatment, counseling, or clinical care
- You already know you don’t want faith in your week
- You need a place to crash, not a place to rebuild
Still using, or need detox or treatment first? Call anyway — helping people find the right program is what SVTC has done since 2000. (540) 213-0571

Where
Mount Jackson, in the heart of the Valley
A small town on the I-81 corridor — quiet enough to rebuild, close enough to work. Men come from across the Valley and beyond.
6043 Broad Street, Mount Jackson, VA 22842. Want to see the house before you decide? We’ll arrange a visit during the application process.
Who’s behind it
Run by people who’ve lived it
Justin Franich & Rob Grant — both Teen Challenge graduates, both in recovery themselves.
The home is operated by Shenandoah Valley Adult Teen Challenge, a 501(c)(3) ministry that has walked with men and families through addiction since 2000. When you call, you’re talking to someone who has been where you are.
Read the ministry’s storyHow to apply
Four steps. The first one is a phone call.
Call or text us
(540) 213-0571. Tell us where you’re coming from, how long you’ve been sober, and what you’re looking for.
Fill out the application
We’ll send it to you. It covers your recovery history, employment, references, legal situation, and medical considerations.
Talk it through
A phone interview — a conversation, not an interrogation. You ask questions too. Expectations get clear before anyone moves in.
Move in
If it’s a fit: move-in date, what to bring, and what your first weeks look like. A 30-day probationary period starts on day one.
Rather start with a message?
Send a note and we’ll call you back. Family members welcome to write on behalf of someone.
Questions
Asked honestly, answered honestly
Is this detox?
No. You need to be already sober when you move in. If you are still using or need medical detox, call us anyway and we will help you think through the right next step.
Is this a treatment facility?
No. Rebuilding Life is not detox, clinical treatment, or a licensed treatment program. It is a sober living home for men who are already sober and need structure, accountability, faith, work, and brotherhood as they rebuild.
Is this a Teen Challenge center?
No. SVTC helps connect people with Teen Challenge centers and other recovery programs. Rebuilding Life is a sober living home for men who have already completed a program or who are already sober and ready for a structured next step.
How much does it cost?
$150 per week. That includes a furnished shared room, utilities, and internet. Residents buy their own food and personal supplies. No hidden fees.
How long can I stay?
We recommend a minimum of six months. Many men stay longer. There is no hard maximum as long as you are working the structure of the house, paying rent, remaining sober, and living responsibly. This is a bridge, not a permanent arrangement.
Do I have to be a Christian to live here?
You have to be open to a Christ-centered environment. Church attendance and Bible study are required, not optional. We are not going to quiz you on theology, but this is a house built on faith. If you already know you do not want church, Bible study, or prayer in your life, this house is probably not a good fit.
What if I relapse?
Because this is a substance-free recovery home, a positive drug or alcohol test means you cannot remain in the house. We will still help you think through the next right step — detox, treatment, Teen Challenge, or another level of care. We will not abandon you, but we also have to protect the sobriety and safety of the other men in the home.
What if I do not have a job yet?
That is okay, but you will start looking immediately. Employment is part of the structure. We can help you think through local job options in Mount Jackson, Shenandoah County, and the I-81 corridor.
Can I have visitors?
Family visits are welcome at agreed times and are encouraged — rebuilding those relationships is part of the process. We do not allow women in the house, and we do not allow people from your old life on the property. Overnight guests are not permitted.
How do I apply?
Call or text (540) 213-0571. We will have a conversation, send you an application, do a screening interview, and go from there. The process is straightforward. We want to make sure it is the right fit for you and for the house.
Can I have a car?
Yes, if it is properly licensed, registered, and insured.
What about medications?
Prescribed medications are allowed when disclosed and taken as prescribed. You will let us know what you are taking during the application process. We do not allow anyone to keep medications that are not theirs. Prescription narcotics or controlled medications require clear medical documentation and staff awareness.
Do I need insurance?
No. This is not billed through insurance. The cost is $150 per week.
Can I apply if I am not from Virginia?
Yes. Men come from outside the Shenandoah Valley and outside Virginia. What matters most is whether you are sober, willing to live under the house structure, and ready for the next step.
Is there a waiting list?
Call to confirm current availability. If beds are full, we can talk about timing and whether there is a waiting list.
Still deciding? These may help
If you’re ready, call. If you’re not sure, call anyway.
The conversation costs nothing and commits you to nothing. We’ll tell you the truth about whether this house is your next right step — and if it isn’t, we’ll help you find what is.
