Mid-Ohio Valley Fellowship Home / Men's Main Home Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Mid-Ohio Valley Fellowship Home Men's Main Home is a men's recovery residence in Parkersburg, West Virginia, the seat of Wood County, on George Street. Sixteen men live here, and it is the largest of six certified residences the fellowship home operates in the city.

The Main Men's Sober House in Parkersburg

Sixteen beds makes this the anchor of the portfolio. A house this size sustains its own culture: there are always men several months ahead of the newest arrival, and the daily structure is carried by residents as much as by rules. George Street runs through Parkersburg's south side, a residential district within walking distance of the downtown core and the Little Kanawha River.

What the Fellowship Home Model Provides

Fellowship homes are among the oldest recovery housing organizations in the country, built on residents holding each other accountable inside a structured household. Clinical treatment comes from providers elsewhere in Parkersburg. What the house supplies is an address that stays drug free, a set of expectations that does not change, and a community of men working the same problem.

Fees, SNAP and Getting In

Move-in requires a $100 processing fee, with $300 a month in program fees running until SNAP benefits are established. That structure is designed around how people actually arrive from treatment, without savings and without income, and it is published.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Wood County Recovery Home

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Parkersburg holds the prescribing and outpatient capacity for a region covering Wood, Wirt, Ritchie, Pleasants and Jackson counties, so a man living here can keep an appointment without crossing the county line.

Parkersburg and the Mid-Ohio Valley

Parkersburg is the seat of Wood County and the third-largest city in West Virginia, sitting where the Little Kanawha meets the Ohio River across from Belpre, Ohio. It holds the county courthouse, Camden Clark Medical Center, West Virginia University at Parkersburg and the region's employment base. For a man rebuilding a working life in the Mid-Ohio Valley, this is where the jobs and the appointments both are.
