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

About this Recovery House

Anchor Homes is a women's recovery residence on Sun Valley Drive in Charleston, West Virginia, the seat of Kanawha County and the state capital. Eight women live here at $400 a month, under Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Small Women's Sober House in Charleston

Eight beds is the smallest women's house Anchor Homes runs, and the scale suits a resident who does a poor job in crowds. Sun Valley Drive sits in Charleston's western reaches beyond the Kanawha City and downtown districts, in a suburban residential pocket.

Level 2 Certification for Charleston Recovery Homes

The West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, certifies at four levels. Level 2 covers monitored housing with structured daily expectations and outside clinical services. Certification requires written disclosure of fees and rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and an outside complaint route, all of which a prospective resident can ask to see before signing.

Medication Support in This Kanawha County Women's Recovery Home

Sublocade, Vivitrol and Brixadi are accepted. Charleston has the widest range of prescribers in West Virginia, and a woman living here can keep an injection appointment on a bus route.

Charleston Sober Living and the State Capital

Charleston holds the Kanawha County Courthouse, the family court, the state's largest hospital system, the Capitol complex and the transit authority that connects the valley. Kanawha County has more certified recovery residences than any other county in West Virginia, and the reason is straightforward: a woman working through a custody case, a probation requirement and a job search at the same time can do all three inside the city.
