About this Recovery House

Anchor Homes is a men's sober living home on Locust Avenue in Fairmont, West Virginia, in Marion County. Eighteen men live here at $400 a month, with Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences. It is the only Anchor Homes residence north of the Kanawha Valley.

A Men's Recovery Home in Fairmont

Eighteen beds makes this the operator's second-largest general men's house. Locust Avenue runs through the residential district south of downtown Fairmont, above the Monongahela River. The house sits alone in a portfolio otherwise concentrated two hours south, which means the operator built it for the north central market.

Level 2 Certification in North Central West Virginia

Certification through the state alliance of recovery residences commits this house to 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. Level 2 describes monitored housing with structured expectations, where clinical services come from providers elsewhere in the county.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Marion County Sober House

Sublocade, Vivitrol and Brixadi are accepted here. North central West Virginia has fewer prescribers per head than the Kanawha Valley, and Fairmont sits on the Interstate 79 corridor between Morgantown and Clarksburg, which is where most of the region's treatment capacity is.

Fairmont and Marion County Recovery Housing

Fairmont is the seat of Marion County, home to Fairmont State University and the regional medical center, and it sits at the midpoint of the I-79 corridor that carries north central West Virginia's employment. Morgantown is twenty minutes north, Clarksburg twenty minutes south. A man in a Fairmont recovery home can reach a job, a court date or an appointment in either direction on the same highway, which is why the county's certified housing concentrates in the city.
