FIFTH STREET HOUSE -
VARR Level III

Sometimes early recovery calls for more structure, support, and connection.
Fifth Street House is Roads to Recovery's 8-bed VARR Level III Intensive Peer Support Residence in Lynchburg, Virginia. The program provides a highly structured, peer-supported recovery environment with staff available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
