About this Recovery House

Mercy House is a men's recovery residence on 11th Street in Rainelle, West Virginia, in Greenbrier County. Eight men live here at $100 a week, certified at Level 2 by the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences and operated by God's Way Home, Inc.

An Eight-Bed Men's Recovery Home in Rainelle

Mercy House is one of two eight-bed residences the operator runs, and it sits in the residential streets off the town's Main Street corridor. Eight men is enough for a working household with real accountability and few enough that a house manager knows every resident's schedule. Rainelle is small, and all four of the operator's houses are within a short walk of each other.

Voucher-Eligible Sober Living in Greenbrier County

The weekly fee is $100. New residents meeting federal low-income guidelines can have their first forty-five days covered by a Recovery Housing Program voucher applied for after admission, so entering can cost nothing. In a rural county where the alternative is often a couch or a car, that matters more than any amenity.

What Level 2 Certification Requires

Level 2 covers monitored recovery housing with structured expectations, where clinical care comes from providers elsewhere. Certification requires written fee and rule disclosure before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, adherence to a published code of ethics, and complaints reviewed outside the household. West Virginia has tied state referrals and public funding to certification since 2024.

Medication Policy in This Rainelle Sober House

Vivitrol is accepted, consistent across all four of the operator's addresses.

Rural Recovery Housing in Southeastern West Virginia

Greenbrier County spans a wide rural area between the New River Gorge and the Virginia line, with Lewisburg as the county seat and Greenbrier Valley Medical Center as its hospital. Rainelle sits at the county's western end on Route 60, closer to Beckley than to Lewisburg. Certified recovery housing is rare outside West Virginia's cities, so a cluster of four men's houses in one small town serves a catchment reaching well into Fayette, Nicholas and Summers counties.
