Shepherd's House

About Shepherd's House

Shepherd's House is a men's sober living operator in Huntington, West Virginia, providing certified recovery housing in Cabell County. The organization runs peer-run recovery housing at Level 1 certification, in the city that holds more certified recovery beds than anywhere else in the state.

A Huntington Recovery Housing Provider

Huntington carries the densest concentration of recovery infrastructure in West Virginia, built during the years when Cabell County sat at the center of the national overdose story. A small operator working here is placing residents inside a network of prescribers, outpatient providers, quick response teams and entry-level employment that no other city in the state matches.

Peer-Run Men's Recovery Housing at Level 1

Level 1 is the lightest of West Virginia's four certification tiers, describing peer-run housing where residents largely set and enforce the household expectations themselves and no on-site staffing is required. It suits men who are working and stable and closer to independent housing than to a structured program. An operator that certifies honestly at Level 1.

Weekly Fees and Entry

Residents pay the first week of $120 in advance, with fees due weekly thereafter. Charging a single week up front, and it matches the way a man in his first weeks of work is actually paid.

Medication-Assisted Recovery in a Cabell County Sober Living Operator

Residents on medication for opioid use disorder are accepted. Huntington holds a methadone clinic and multiple buprenorphine prescribers inside the city limits, so a resident's treatment and his address stay compatible.

Contacting a Huntington Sober Living Operator

The address is not published, and placement runs through the operator. The questions worth asking at the operator level differ from the ones about a particular house: how long the organization has housed men in Cabell County, whether it takes referrals from treatment providers and the drug court, how the weekly fee and any arrears are documented, and how a complaint gets escalated past the house to the certifying body. Certification obliges an answer to the last of those.
