Recovery Point of West Virginia – Bluefield Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Recovery Point of West Virginia is a men's recovery residence on Highland Avenue in Bluefield, West Virginia, in Mercer County. The sixty-bed long-term program holds Level 3 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences and charges residents nothing.

Southern West Virginia's Largest Free Men's Sober Living Program

Sixty free beds in a county of about sixty thousand people changes what is possible in southern West Virginia. The coalfield counties along the Virginia line have the highest overdose rates and the thinnest treatment infrastructure in the state, and a long-term certified program of this size is the main alternative to leaving the region entirely to find recovery housing.

What Level 3 Certification Means Here

Level 3 covers supervised recovery housing with administrative oversight and structured programming. In West Virginia's four-level framework it sits above peer-run housing and below clinically staffed residences. Certification obliges the program to publish its rules in writing, keep a written policy on relapse and discharge, and accept complaints reviewed outside its own management, all of which is checkable before someone commits to a long stay.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Mercer County Recovery Home

Medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. Prescribing capacity is scarcer in the southern coalfields than in the Kanawha or Ohio valleys, so a residence that accommodates treatment.

Bluefield, Mercer County and the Two Virginias

Bluefield is the largest city in Mercer County, sitting on the state line with its Virginia twin of the same name, with Princeton as the county seat about ten miles north. It was built by the Norfolk and Western railroad and remains the commercial center for a wide stretch of southern West Virginia and southwest Virginia. Princeton Community Hospital, the county courthouse and the region's outpatient providers all fall inside that orbit.
