About this Recovery House

Southern West Virginia Fellowship Home, Inc. is a men's recovery residence on Woodlawn Avenue in Beckley, West Virginia, the seat of Raleigh County. Fifteen men live here under Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

The Main Men's Sober House on Woodlawn Avenue

Fifteen beds makes this the largest of the organization's three houses and the anchor of the street. A house this size sustains a real community: there are always men several months ahead of the newest arrival, and the daily structure is carried by residents as much as by rules. Woodlawn Avenue runs through Beckley's older residential district and carries several certified recovery residences from more than one operator.

A Program Fee That Can Be Waived

The published charge is $600 a month, waived where a man cannot pay, moving to thirty percent of income once he is employed. That structure removes the most common reason someone leaving treatment in southern West Virginia ends up in unsafe housing, which is having no money on the day the bed becomes available.

What Level 2 Certification Establishes

Level 2 describes monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and clinical care from outside providers. Certification obliges the residence to disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, follow a published code of ethics, and answer complaints through a route outside the house.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Raleigh County Recovery Home

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Beckley holds the region's prescribing capacity, including two hospitals and the VA medical center.

Beckley and Southern West Virginia Recovery Housing

Beckley is the county seat and the largest city in the southern coalfields, sitting where Interstate 77 meets Interstate 64 and Route 19. It holds the Raleigh County Courthouse, Raleigh General Hospital, the Beckley VA Medical Center and New River Community and Technical College. Men coming out of treatment in Wyoming, McDowell, Fayette and Summers counties consistently find Beckley to be the nearest place with work, transit and appointments in the same city.
