Empowering Recovery Through Community, Compassion, and Connection
As Virginia’s leading peer-driven Recovery Community Organization (RCO), The McShin Foundation provides housing, support, and real hope for individuals and families facing Substance Use Disorders.
Founded in 2004, The McShin Foundation is Virginia’s leading non-profit, full-service addiction Recovery Community Organization (RCO), committed to serving individuals and families in their fight against Substance Use Disorders (SUD). While providing the tools for recovering individuals to create positive lifestyles, we aim to spread the word of recovery and educate families, communities, and government regarding SUDs as well as reduce the negative outlook attached to them.
We offer a 45-day addiction recovery program, Richmond sober living in recovery houses, and partner with leading physicians for drug & alcohol detox, all located in the Richmond, Virginia area
