Huntington Transitional Living - Men's House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Huntington Transitional Living is a men's sober house at 528 8th Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia, in Cabell County. It holds four beds at $420 a month, certified at Level 2 by the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Men's Sober Living Home in the 8th Avenue Block

Three of the operator's eight houses sit on this avenue, two of them within a few doors of this address. Four men live here. The clustering is useful in practice: a resident who moves between houses keeps the same neighborhood, the same bus stop and the same walk to work.

What the Admission Requirement Establishes

Ninety days sober, or arrival straight from long-term treatment. Every man in the house met the same condition, which is what allows a four-bed household to run with light oversight.

Level 2 Certification and West Virginia Recovery Housing Law

Since 2024, West Virginia has required every recovery residence to register with the state and has made certification the condition for receiving state funds and referrals. Referring someone to an uncertified residence is now a finable offense. Level 2 certification here means monitored housing with structured expectations, written fee and rule disclosure before move-in, and complaints reviewed outside the house.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Huntington Sober House

Sublocade, Vivitrol and Brixadi are accepted. Huntington's prescribers sit within the same avenue grid, so a monthly injection appointment does not require leaving the neighborhood.

Huntington and Cabell County Recovery Homes

Huntington is the seat of Cabell County and the second-largest city in West Virginia, holding Marshall University, Cabell Huntington Hospital, the county courthouse and the Tri-State Transit Authority. The city's flat avenue grid makes it unusually walkable for a place its size, and that is the practical reason so much of the state's certified recovery housing sits here.
