Anchor Homes Long-Term Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Anchor Homes Long-Term is a men's sober living home on Fayette Pike in Montgomery, West Virginia, at the Kanawha and Fayette county line. Thirty-six men live here at $400 a month under Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Long-Term Men's Recovery Home in the Upper Kanawha Valley

Thirty-six beds makes this the largest men's residence Anchor Homes runs. The name describes the intent: this is housing meant to be held for an extended period. Length of stay is one of the few things that reliably predicts how recovery housing works out, and a house built and priced for it changes what a resident can plan around.

Level 2 Certification and What a Resident Can Check

Level 2 covers monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and outside clinical care. Certification through the state alliance obliges the residence to hand over fees and house rules in writing before move-in, to hold a written relapse and discharge policy, and to answer complaints through a process outside the household. West Virginia law now makes that certification the condition for state referrals and funding.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Sober House

Sublocade, Vivitrol, Brixadi and Suboxone are accepted. Long-term residents are the population most likely to be maintained on buprenorphine over years, and a house designed for long stays that refused it would be working against itself.

Montgomery, Kanawha County and Fayette County

Montgomery sits on the Kanawha River at the point where Kanawha County meets Fayette County, on the old US 60 route between Charleston and the New River Gorge. It is a small town with a large institutional footprint left from its years as a college campus. Charleston, the state capital and county seat, is about thirty miles downriver, and Beckley is roughly the same distance southeast.

Anchor Homes Recovery Residences Beyond This Address

The operator runs nine certified homes. The coed Prep program shares this road and charges nothing, and a man who finishes there frequently moves into this residence. From here the portfolio continues down the valley through Belle, Dunbar, Saint Albans and Charleston, so a change of house does not have to mean a change of operator.
