The Change Initiative- Phoenix Recovery House Women's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Phoenix Recovery House is a recovery residence in Clarksburg, West Virginia, for women and children, in Harrison County. It stands on East Pike Street. Nine beds are certified at Level 2 by the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences, operated by The Change Initiative.

A Family Sober Living Home in Clarksburg

Nine beds for women and their children in north central West Virginia, where certified family recovery housing is close to nonexistent. East Pike Street runs east from downtown Clarksburg through the older residential blocks toward Bridgeport. For a mother whose custody proceeding is in the Harrison County family court, a certified bed in the county seat is what makes attendance realistic.

Ninety Days Before the Weekly Fee Starts

A non-refundable $250 entry fee applies, and the $100 weekly program fee does not begin until ninety days. Three months without a recurring charge is unusual in West Virginia recovery housing and it targets the exact window in which a woman leaving treatment has no income, no childcare arrangement and no way to produce either immediately.

What Level 2 Certification Establishes

Level 2 describes monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and clinical care delivered by outside providers. Certification requires written fee and rule disclosure before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, a published code of ethics, and complaints reviewed outside the household. Where children live in a residence, that external route matters more than it does anywhere else.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Harrison County Recovery Home

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Clarksburg and Bridgeport hold the region's prescribers and United Hospital Center within a few minutes of the address.

Clarksburg, Harrison County and the I-79 Corridor

Clarksburg sits on the West Fork River where Interstate 79 meets US 50, the historic center of north central West Virginia. It holds the county courthouse, the family court and the region's caseworkers, with Morgantown forty minutes north and Weston to the south. West Virginia removes children into state care at a higher rate than any other state, and the shortage of certified housing that accepts them is part of why.
