About this Recovery House

HAWC Foundation Phase 2 is a coed sober living home on Artisan Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia, in Cabell County. It is a two-bed residence operated by HAWC Foundation, open to men and women who have graduated from the foundation's Phase 1 program, and it is certified by the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Two-Bed Recovery Home in Huntington's East End

Two beds is close to the smallest a certified recovery residence gets. The household is effectively a shared apartment with a rule set, which suits residents who have finished the noisier stages of the program and want quiet. The cost is $350 a month plus a share of the utilities. Artisan Avenue runs through the east end above the 8th Street Hill area, a residential pocket set back from the main avenue corridors.

Coed Recovery Housing at the Phase 2 Level

This address takes both men and women. Coed sober living is uncommon in West Virginia and it works at this scale because the population is narrow: everyone here has completed Phase 1 and everyone is under the same operator's rules. A resident who would rather live single-gender applies to one of HAWC's men's or women's Phase 2 houses instead.

Medication Policy in This Cabell County Sober House

Residents on Vivitrol, Sublocade, Suboxone or methadone are accepted. Huntington's prescribers and its methadone clinic sit within the city, so treatment and address stay compatible.

Where This Huntington Sober Living Home Sits

Huntington is the seat of Cabell County and the largest city in the tri-state corner. Its east end holds the older residential streets above the Ohio River flats, close enough to the 5th Avenue transit corridor to reach downtown employment and the hospital without a car. For someone late in a program and holding a job, a small east-end address with a utility share is closer to ordinary renting than to program housing, which is the point of the phase.
