Semper Liberi, Inc. – Martyn's House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Martyn's House is a men's recovery residence on Twelve Steps Court in Kearneysville, West Virginia, in Berkeley County. Twenty-four men live here at $200 a week under Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences, operated by Semper Liberi, Inc.

The Largest Men's Sober House in the Eastern Panhandle Portfolio

Twenty-four beds makes this the operator's flagship and one of the larger certified men's residences in the Eastern Panhandle. Scale gives a house something smaller ones cannot manufacture: a resident always has someone several months ahead of him in the building, and the culture survives individual departures. The address sits on a street the operator named, a few hundred yards from two of its other houses.

What Level 2 Certification Establishes

Level 2 in West Virginia's four-level framework describes monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and clinical services delivered by outside providers. Certification commits the residence to a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and complaints reviewed outside the household. Since 2024 the state has tied referrals and public funding to holding it.

Fees at This Berkeley County Recovery Home

A $200 deposit at move-in and $200 a week thereafter. The figure is the same across all four Semper Liberi residences, so a transfer between houses carries no change in cost.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Sober Living Home

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Prescribers in the Eastern Panhandle concentrate around Martinsburg and the Interstate 81 corridor, within a short drive of Kearneysville.

Kearneysville, Berkeley County and the Eastern Panhandle

Kearneysville sits between Martinsburg and Charles Town in the rural stretch of the Eastern Panhandle, close to the Berkeley and Jefferson county line. Martinsburg is the county seat and the largest city in the region, holding the courthouse, Berkeley Medical Center and the Martinsburg VA Medical Center. Interstate 81 and the MARC commuter rail line run east toward Washington, and a large share of the region's residents work across the state line, which shapes the job market a resident here is entering.
