River Street (Rutland)

Common Ground Recovery launched our first peer-led, trauma-informed residence in November, 2025. Our first residence is a space designed to offer safety, dignity, and healing for individuals navigating recovery and reintegration.

The building that the residence occupies tells a story about resilience, hope, and innovation. Before being occupied by CGR, the property needed a significant amount of TLC. It got just that! Now, the building is renovated and has the capacity to provide a sober living opportunity for up to three individuals.

The River Street residence is currently certified as a level 1 residence by the Vermont Alliance for Recovery Residences.

We are proud of opening our first residence in Rutland. Our goal is for the River Street residence to set the tone and the example for level 1 residences around the state of Vermont. To learn more about VTARR and certification levels of recovery residences, please click here .

We are deeply engaged in fundraising and community partnership development. Our goal is to open up a network of homes that reflects CGR’s core values: emotional safety, ethical governance, and lived-experience leadership.

Our residences aim to provide more than shelter— they provide a sanctuary built on trust, transparency, and shared recovery. But we can’t do it alone.
