About this Recovery House

Perfect Purpose, Inc. is a women's recovery residence on Putnam Street in Parkersburg, West Virginia, the seat of Wood County. Seven women live here at $100 a week under Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

A Women's Sober House in the Mid-Ohio Valley

Seven beds makes this the operator's only women's residence and a meaningful addition to a small pool. Certified women's beds are scarcer than men's throughout West Virginia, and the Mid-Ohio Valley has fewer than the Kanawha or Monongahela corridors. Putnam Street runs through Parkersburg's downtown residential grid, close to the commercial core and the county courthouse.

What It Costs

A non-refundable $100 entry fee at move-in, then $100 a week. For a woman leaving treatment and starting part-time work, a weekly schedule tracks the way she is actually being paid.

Level 2 Certification for Women's Recovery Housing

Level 2 describes monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and clinical care delivered by outside providers. Certification requires the residence to disclose fees and rules in writing before move-in, keep a written relapse and discharge policy, follow a published code of ethics, and accept complaints reviewed outside the house. For a woman choosing sober living from inside a treatment program, that record is what she can check without visiting.

Medication-Assisted Recovery for Women in Wood County

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Women on buprenorphine or methadone are the hardest group to place in West Virginia sober living, and Parkersburg holds the prescribing capacity for the whole region.

Parkersburg, the County Seat and Family Court

Parkersburg holds the Wood County Courthouse, the family court, Camden Clark Medical Center and West Virginia University at Parkersburg. For a woman working through a custody proceeding alongside early recovery, being in the same city as the court and the caseworkers determines whether appointments get kept, which is the practical argument for the county seat over a smaller town nearby.
