West Virginia Sober Living - Charleston Men's House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

West Virginia Sober Living is a men's sober living home in Charleston, West Virginia, the state capital and seat of Kanawha County. Twelve men live here at $575 a month, certified at Level 2 by the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Men's Recovery Home in the State Capital

Twelve beds, single gender, in the city with more certified recovery housing than anywhere else in West Virginia. The address is not published and placement is arranged through the operator, which is common practice for houses that prefer not to field walk-ups. What a resident is choosing here is the operator, the city and the fee, all of which are on the record.

Level 2 Certification and What a Resident Can Verify

Level 2 describes monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and outside clinical care. The certification behind it requires 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 reviewed outside the house. Certification is granted address by address, so it applies to this specific residence.

Voucher-Eligible Sober Living in Kanawha County

Recovery Housing Program vouchers cover the first forty-five days for new residents meeting federal low-income guidelines. The standing fee afterward is $575 a month, the same figure the operator charges at all seven of its certified addresses.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Charleston Recovery Residence

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Charleston Area Medical Center and the outpatient providers around it give the capital the widest treatment access in southern West Virginia.

Charleston Recovery Housing and the Kanawha Valley

Charleston is the seat of Kanawha County, the state capital, and the center of a valley that runs from Saint Albans to Montgomery. It holds the county courthouse, the family court, the Capitol complex, the largest hospital system in the state and the Kanawha Valley Regional Transportation network. Kanawha County carries more certified recovery residences than any other county in West Virginia, and the reason is that everything a person in early recovery has to do can be done inside the city limits.
