A Fourteen-Bed Men's Recovery Home Near Morgantown

Fourteen beds puts this house in the middle of the operator's three-house range. It is large enough to hold a peer community and small enough that the household knows itself, which is the size most certified recovery homes in West Virginia settle at. Tower Lane runs along the edge of the city on the west side of the Monongahela River, a short drive from downtown Morgantown and the WVU Medicine campus.

Level 2 Certification and What a Resident Can Verify

Level 2 covers monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and clinical care delivered by outside providers. Certification obliges the residence to hand an applicant its fees and rules in writing before move-in, hold a written relapse and discharge policy, and accept complaints through a process outside the house. Those obligations are the checkable difference between a certified recovery residence and a rooming house.

What It Costs to Move In

A $500 security deposit and a $525 monthly program fee. The figures hold across all three Jacob's Ladder addresses, so a transfer between houses carries no financial change.

Medication Support in This Monongalia County Sober House

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Morgantown's hospital and medical school give the county more prescribing capacity than anywhere else in West Virginia.

Morgantown Recovery Housing and the Northern Corridor

Morgantown is the county seat and the largest city in north central West Virginia, built around West Virginia University and the WVU Medicine hospital complex. The county courthouse, the family court, the outpatient providers and the Mountain Line transit system are all inside the city, and Pittsburgh is roughly an hour north. That combination makes Monongalia County the strongest job market in the northern half of the state for a man leaving a program.
