Virginia Research in 2025 Reinforces the Value of Recovery Housing


A 2025 Frontiers in Public Health systematic review found that recovery housing, compared to standard continuing care, delivers consistent benefits such as higher abstinence rates, improved employment, income, and reduced criminal charges especially over longer-term stays of 6 to 24 months.
Meanwhile, an observational study of nearly 2,000 residents in Virginia-certified recovery residences revealed:
“Retention for 6–18 months is essential to establish and maintain positive discharge outcomes,” particularly among people with recent criminal justice system involvement.
These data underscore a consistent truth: sustained engagement in a structured recovery environment dramatically improves outcomes.
Introducing G3 Recovery Intervention and Consulting
We at G3 Recovery Intervention and Consulting, operating here in Virginia, are deeply aligned with this emerging evidence. At our core, our mission is to empower individuals and families struggling with substance use or behavioral health crises through empathetic, structured, and professional interventionist‑led support.
We help guide families and clients into treatment and recovery housing placements that support longer stays and better outcomes.
From Our Team: Warm, Purpose-Driven Voices
Matt Gibson, Co‑founder, shares:
“Our work isn’t just about getting someone into treatment it’s about helping them stay long enough to rebuild. We believe recovery becomes possible when care is infused with purpose and compassion.”
Hannah Gibson, Co‑founder, adds:
“We’ve witnessed the hurdles justice‑involved clients face stigma, gaps in service, isolation. That’s why we focus on building trust, coordinating with certified recovery residences, and advocating for extended stays.”

Impact That Aligns with the Research
The systematic review’s findings that longer-term recovery housing correlates with better outcomes mirror our experience. Clients who engage with us typically do well in recovery residences, staying in the 6–18 month window that the Virginia study calls essential. These durations vastly improve chances of completing the program with positive discharge outcomes.
Because of our hands-on support and coordination, our clients are more likely to achieve sustained engagement, greater stability, and eventually independent recovery progression.
Returning to the Research: G3’s Role in the Solution
That 2025 Frontiers review and the Virginia observational study make it clear recovery housing works best when supports are sustained. For many justice‑impacted Virginians, longer engagement isn’t just helpful it’s necessary for true transformation.
We believe our work bridges that critical gap. As professional interventionists, we help remove barriers to access, create entry paths into certified residences, and support stays long enough to make recovery sustainable.
