VSL is a national network of Chartered recovery homes, each led by an independent operator committed to offering the best in sober living. We provide the training, systems and support behind every home.
What I love about VSL is that I get to run Taylor Made Recovery my own way, as an independent operator who treats every resident as an individual, while still having all of their support and structure behind me.
I have been working with VSL since 2018, and in that time I have grown from my very first home to seven thriving recovery communities across Rhode Island. I could not have done it without VSL.
I am grateful for VSL’s support, and how available they always are whenever I need help dealing with a legal issue or resident concern, any time of the day or night.
Structured, peer-supported homes with all-inclusive rates starting at $160 per week.
Every VSL Chartered home is run by an independent operator who meets our standards for accountability, peer support and structured recovery.
We welcome people committed to building a life in recovery. Guests must be 18 or older and free from drugs or alcohol for at least 14 days. Referrals from treatment, clinical and judicial settings are common, and self-referrals are always welcome.
Apply online, by fax, email or phone. A brief screening call follows to make sure the home is the right fit.
