Riverside wraps right around the Dayton VA Medical Center and sits in the shadow of Wright-Patterson. For a lot of people here, recovery and military service are part of the same story — and we built our program with that in mind.
Tina Marie's Recovery Housing serves Riverside from our Dayton-area homes, including our flagship home minutes from the Dayton VA Medical Center. That proximity matters: a Riverside resident in recovery can keep VA appointments, clinical care, and case-management meetings without transportation becoming the thing that derails progress — and we provide rides to appointments and meetings on top of that.
Built for veterans near the VA and Wright-Patterson
Riverside borders the Dayton VA and neighbors Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, so many of the people we serve here have worn the uniform. Addiction rarely travels alone for veterans — PTSD, combat trauma, chronic pain, and the hard transition to civilian life are often part of the picture. We run veteran-friendly recovery housing designed for reintegration, not just abstinence, and we help veterans put their benefits to work:
- HUD-VASH — a housing voucher specifically for veterans, coordinated through the Dayton VA.
- SSVF — Supportive Services for Veteran Families, for rapid re-housing.
- VA Community Care — covers clinical services while you live in recovery housing.
We work directly with VA case managers and the HUD-VASH coordinator. For the full picture, read how HUD-VASH and the VA help pay for sober living.
The same structured program for everyone
Veteran or not, every resident moves through the same program: a 7–14 day observation period, life-skills and job-readiness work, regular drug testing, house meetings, transportation, and clinical support through our clinical provider, over a 9–12 month stay. Men and women are housed separately, with couples housing available when placement fits. See how it works on our structured sober living page.
How Riverside residents pay
We accept Medicaid (CareSource, Buckeye, Molina, UnitedHealthcare), veteran benefits, vouchers, and sliding-scale support — so most residents pay $0–$50 per week. The full breakdown is on our cost page.
