An Eleven-Bed Men's Recovery Home in Parkersburg

Eleven beds sits between the operator's twenty-bed men's house and its seven-bed women's residence. A household this size is large enough for a real peer group and small enough that nobody goes unnoticed, which is the size most West Virginia recovery homes settle at. Virginia Avenue runs through Parkersburg's residential streets away from the downtown grid.

The Cost of a Bed

A non-refundable $100 entry fee at move-in, then $75 a week. The low weekly figure is the operator's defining feature and it puts a certified bed inside reach of someone working part time or drawing benefits while they look for work.

Certified Recovery Housing in Wood County

Certification through the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences commits this house to a published code of ethics, to giving an applicant fees and house rules in writing before move-in, to a written relapse and discharge policy, and to a complaint process outside the household. Since 2024, every recovery residence in West Virginia has been required to register with the state, and certification determines eligibility for referrals and public funds.

Medication Support at This Parkersburg Sober House

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted at all three of the operator's addresses.

Parkersburg Recovery Homes and the River Counties

Parkersburg is the county seat and the largest city in the Mid-Ohio Valley, holding the Wood County Courthouse, Camden Clark Medical Center and the region's transit and employment. The surrounding counties of Wirt, Ritchie and Pleasants hold very few certified beds of their own, so recovery housing in the city serves a catchment much larger than its own population.
