Jacob's Ladder

About Jacob's Ladder

Jacob's Ladder is a men's sober living operator in Westover and Morgantown, West Virginia, running three certified recovery residences in Monongalia County. All three sit on Tower Lane at the edge of Morgantown, holding thirty-five beds between them at a $525 monthly program fee.

A Morgantown Area Recovery Housing Provider

Monongalia County is the busiest recovery housing market in northern West Virginia, driven by the WVU Medicine hospital complex, the university and a labor market that reaches into Pennsylvania. Jacob's Ladder holds three certified men's houses on one street on the Westover side of the Monongahela River, which puts residents minutes from downtown Morgantown while keeping them out of the student housing market that drives rents in the city itself.

Jacob's Ladder Recovery Homes

• An eighteen-bed men's residence on Tower Lane in Westover.
• A fourteen-bed men's residence on Tower Lane in Morgantown.
• A three-bed men's residence on Tower Lane in Westover.

Three houses on one lane means a resident who changes household does not change anything else about his life.

Men's Sober Houses at Three Scales

The eighteen-bed house sustains a large peer community, the fourteen-bed house sits in the middle, and the three-bed house is close to independent shared living. An operator running all three can place a man according to how he actually does in a household.

What It Costs

A $500 security deposit at move-in and a $525 monthly program fee, the same across all three addresses. Publishing a deposit separately from the monthly charge tells an applicant what he needs on day one, which is the number that determines whether a bed is reachable.

Level 2 Certification and Medication Policy

All three residences carry Level 2 certification from the West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences, the state's affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, describing monitored housing with structured expectations and outside clinical care. Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted at every address, supported by the densest prescribing network in West Virginia.
