Jacob's Ladder - Westover Men's House Men's Recovery House

About this Recovery House

Jacob's Ladder is a men's recovery residence on Tower Lane in Westover, West Virginia, in Monongalia County. Eighteen men live here at $525 a month under Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences.

The Largest Jacob's Ladder Men's Sober House

Eighteen beds makes this the operator's flagship and one of the larger certified men's residences in northern West Virginia. Scale gives a house a culture that outlives any individual resident, with men at every stage of a stay living under the same roof. Tower Lane sits in Westover, the city across the Monongahela River from Morgantown, minutes from the downtown core by road or bus.

What Level 2 Certification Establishes

Level 2 in West Virginia's framework describes monitored recovery housing with structured expectations, where clinical services come from outside providers. Certification requires a published code of ethics, written disclosure of fees and house rules before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and complaints reviewed outside the household. West Virginia law has made certification the condition for state referrals and public funding since 2024.

Deposit, Fee and Getting In

A $500 security deposit is due at move-in, with a $525 monthly program fee thereafter. Both figures are the same at all three of the operator's houses.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Monongalia County Recovery Home

Westover, Morgantown and North Central West Virginia

Westover sits on the west bank of the Monongahela directly across from Morgantown, the seat of Monongalia County. The Mountain Line bus network connects the two, and Morgantown holds the courthouse, the hospital complex, West Virginia University and most of the region's employment. Men leaving treatment in Preston, Marion, Taylor and Barbour counties routinely look here first, because it is the nearest place where a job, a court date and an appointment can all be held in the same week.
