Anchor Homes - Belle Women's House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Anchor Homes is a women's sober house on East Dupont Avenue in Belle, West Virginia, in Kanawha County. At twenty-three beds it is the largest women's residence in the Anchor Homes portfolio, certified at Level 2 by the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

The Largest Anchor Homes Women's Recovery Residence

Twenty-three women share this address at $400 a month. Scale changes what a house can do: there are enough residents to sustain a real internal community, enough turnover that someone is always a few weeks ahead of the person who just arrived, and enough beds that a woman calling from a treatment center has a realistic chance of a same-week placement. Belle's East Dupont Avenue runs parallel to the Kanawha River through the center of town.

Level 2 Sober Living and What It Obliges

Certification at Level 2 commits this residence to written fee and rule disclosure before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and an external complaint process. In a state where certification gates access to public funds and referrals, an operator carrying it across nine addresses has chosen to work inside that framework.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Belle Recovery Home

Sublocade, Vivitrol, Brixadi and Suboxone are all accepted. That is the widest medication policy in the Anchor Homes portfolio, and it matters most in a large women's house, where the range of treatment histories arriving at the door is correspondingly wide.

Belle and the Kanawha Valley Chemical Corridor

Belle sits about ten miles upriver from Charleston on the chemical corridor that runs east from the capital toward Montgomery. The town is small, the plants along the river are the historic employment base, and Charleston's courthouse, hospitals and treatment providers are twenty minutes down Route 60. Kanawha County holds more certified recovery housing than any county in West Virginia, and most of it sits along this river line.
