HAWC Foundation Phase 3 - Coed House VI Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

HAWC Foundation Phase 3 is a coed sober house on 9th Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia, in Cabell County. Five residents live here at a cost of $300 a month plus shared utilities, the lowest fee across HAWC Foundation's ten certified recovery residences.

A Low-Cost Sober Living Home on 9th Avenue

The $300 monthly figure matters more than it looks. A resident in the final phase of a program is usually working, paying down fines or arrears, and trying to build the deposit for a lease of their own. Housing costs that stay under a third of a full-time entry wage in Huntington leave room for that. Nine beds' worth of the foundation's Phase 3 capacity sits at this rate.

Phase 3 Admission and What It Signals

Graduating both Phase 1 and Phase 2 is required. Everyone in the house has come through the same sequence, and the low fee and light structure are the reward at the end of it. Someone applying to HAWC for the first time would start elsewhere in the portfolio.

Medication-Assisted Treatment in This Huntington Recovery Residence

Vivitrol, Sublocade, Suboxone and methadone are accepted. Cabell County has more medication-assisted treatment capacity than any comparable county in West Virginia, and a residence that accepts all four keeps a resident's prescriber, pharmacy and address in the same city.

The 9th Avenue Corridor and Cabell County Recovery Housing

The 1700 block of 9th Avenue sits in the residential grid south of the main downtown avenues, close to Ritter Park and within Tri-State Transit Authority reach of the hospital and the county courthouse. Huntington's compactness is the practical case for its recovery housing: a resident can hold a job on one side of the grid and a standing appointment on the other without owning a car.
