The Grove on Patterson, located in Roanoke, Virginia, is a groundbreaking recovery house providing 24/7 residential support
for pregnant women and new mothers struggling with substance use. This innovative initiative addresses a critical gap in care, offering a safe and supportive environment for women who might otherwise be separated from their children during treatment.
The Grove is the result of a powerful collaboration among community partners, including Anderson Treatment, which provides clinical leadership, and Restoration Housing, a nonprofit dedicated to revitalizing historic properties. Together, they have created a holistic model of care that integrates medical treatment, peer recovery support, social services, financial literacy education, and legal guidance to help women navigate custody and related challenges.
By bringing together a multidisciplinary team of physicians, practitioners, social workers, recovery specialists and volunteers, The Grove exemplifies intentional, thoughtful innovation in service delivery. Its wraparound approach not only addresses substance use but also empowers women with the tools, resources, and support needed to rebuild their lives and maintain family unity.
In a region disproportionately affected by high rates of substance use and fentanyl, The Grove on Patterson stands as a beacon of
hope and a model for community-driven solutions. Through collaboration, compassion, and creativity, this organization demonstrates the extraordinary impact that can be achieved when multiple nonprofits and community leaders unite to meet complex needs—ensuring that women and their families have the opportunity to heal, thrive, and stay together.
