Recovery Point of West Virginia – Parkersburg Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Recovery Point of West Virginia is a men's recovery residence on Emerson Avenue in Parkersburg, West Virginia, the seat of Wood County. The eighty-bed long-term program carries Level 3 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences and charges residents no fee.

An Eighty-Bed Men's Sober Living Program in the Mid-Ohio Valley

Eighty free beds makes this the largest recovery housing program in West Virginia's Mid-Ohio Valley by a wide margin. The social model it runs on depends on a resident community large enough to hold its own culture, and at this size the program can absorb arrivals and departures without losing it. Men enter with no money and no fee.

What Level 3 Recovery Housing Involves

Level 3 in the state's framework describes supervised housing with administrative oversight and structured daily programming, above peer-run housing and below clinically staffed residences. The certification behind it requires published rules, a written relapse and discharge policy, and a complaint process reviewed outside the program's own management. For a long-term commitment, those are the terms worth reading first.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Wood County Recovery Home

Medication for opioid use disorder is accepted. Parkersburg holds the outpatient and prescribing capacity for a region reaching into Wirt, Ritchie, Pleasants and Jackson counties, so a resident here can keep a treatment relationship without crossing the state.

Parkersburg and Wood County Recovery Housing

Parkersburg is the county seat and the third-largest city in West Virginia, sitting where the Little Kanawha meets the Ohio River across from Belpre, Ohio. Emerson Avenue is one of its main north to south corridors, carrying the hospital, the commercial strip and the transit routes. The city holds the Wood County Courthouse, Camden Clark Medical Center and West Virginia University at Parkersburg, which is the combination a man rebuilding a working life actually needs.

Recovery Point Sober Homes Elsewhere in the State

The organization runs comparable long-term programs in Huntington, Charleston and Bluefield, along with smaller phase houses and an apartment residence. A resident who needs to be in a different city after this program has somewhere inside the same organization to go.
