Recovery program could soon be at regional jail

FRONT ROYAL – The Rappahannock-Shenandoah-Warren Regional Jail could soon have another tool to help inmates recover from addiction.

Jail Superintendent Russ Gilkison has been in talks with The McShin Foundation, a recovery community organization that offers a program that includes peer-to-peer recovery support services and resources for addicts such as halfway houses, transitional recovery houses and opiate detox.

The McShin Foundation, founded in 2004, recently received a $200,000 matching grant that allows it to bring its recovery program to the regional jail, foundation president John Shinholser said. It will also be starting a program at the Riverside Regional Jail in Prince George County.

“This is recovery people who have lived that life carrying that message of hope that they (an addict) can live life,” Shinholser said.
