Youth Services System / Recovery Residence for Young Adults Coed Recovery House

About this Recovery House

The Youth Services System Recovery Residence for Young Adults is a coed sober living home in Wheeling, West Virginia, in Ohio County, on North York Street. Four beds are certified at Level 2 by the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences, restricted to residents aged eighteen to twenty-four.

Recovery Housing Built for Young Adults

The age restriction is what makes this residence unusual in West Virginia. Admission requires being between eighteen and twenty-four and carrying a diagnosis of opioid or stimulant use disorder. A twenty-year-old in general recovery housing is often the youngest person in the building by a wide margin, and the distance in circumstances, references and stage of life shapes how much they are willing to say. A house where everyone is within a few years of each other removes that.

Apartment Living and What It Costs

Residents pay a $680 deposit at admission. The program fee is $680 a month for a private apartment or $340 for each resident sharing a two-bedroom unit, and residents sharing living space contribute seventy-five percent of their SNAP benefits toward shared groceries. Apartment-style housing at this age is deliberate: for most residents this is the first tenancy they have held.

Level 2 Certification and What It Obliges

Level 2 describes monitored recovery housing with structured expectations and clinical care from outside providers. Certification requires written fee and rule disclosure before move-in, a written relapse and discharge policy, and complaints reviewed outside the residence. For a young adult entering their first independent housing, having those terms in writing is worth more than it would be for someone with a rental history behind them.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in This Ohio County Sober House

Residents on any form of medication for opioid use disorder are accepted, delivered through a provider offering programming.

Wheeling and Northern Panhandle Recovery Homes

North York Street sits in Wheeling's northern neighborhoods above the Ohio River, within the city that holds the Ohio County Courthouse, Wheeling Hospital, West Virginia Northern Community College and the region's transit. The community college matters more here than in most listings: residents in this age group are the most likely to be enrolling, and having a campus inside the same city makes that a realistic plan.
