Apartment-Style Sober Living for Women in Charleston

Twelve beds makes this the largest of the four New Life Apartment buildings. Apartment housing works differently from a group house: a resident has her own space and her own routine, with the accountability coming from neighbors who are all in recovery. For a woman working full time and rebuilding independence, that arrangement is closer to the housing she will hold next.

What Level 1 Recovery Housing Means

Level 1 is the lightest of West Virginia's four certification tiers. It describes peer-run housing with minimal external oversight, where residents largely set and enforce the household rules themselves and no staffing presence is required. It suits someone stable and employed, and it is the correct designation for independent apartments. A woman needing more structure would start at the operator's group houses instead.

The Fee Structure in These Charleston Recovery Homes

Residents pay $133 a week, published as $56 for food and $77 for operating costs, with the food share payable by EBT. Uniform pricing across the operator's six addresses means moving from a group house into an apartment costs nothing extra.

Charleston's East End and Women's Recovery Housing

Beauregard Street sits in Charleston's East End, within walking distance of the Capitol complex, a hospital campus and the East End commercial strip, and on Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation routes into downtown. The Kanawha County Courthouse and family court are a short ride west. Charleston holds more certified recovery beds than any other city in West Virginia, and this block holds four of the operator's six addresses.
