About Southern West Virginia Fellowship Home, Inc.

Southern West Virginia Fellowship Home, Inc. is a men's sober living operator in Beckley, West Virginia, running three certified recovery residences in Raleigh County. All three sit on Woodlawn Avenue, and all three waive the program fee for men who cannot afford it.

A Beckley Recovery Housing Provider

The organization runs the fellowship home model, where men in recovery live under shared expectations and clinical care comes from providers elsewhere in the city. Its three houses hold twenty-three beds between them on a single street in Beckley's older residential district, close enough that a resident moving between them changes almost nothing about his day.

• A fifteen-bed men's residence at the head of Woodlawn Avenue.
• A five-bed men's residence further along the same street.
• A three-bed men's residence on the same block.

All three carry Level 2 certification. The range of sizes lets the operator place a man in a household that suits him, from a fifteen-person community down to a house of three.

A Fee That Can Be Waived

The published charge is $600 a month, waived where a resident cannot afford it, and set at thirty percent of income once he is employed. Very few West Virginia operators state a waiver in their published terms. Doing so tells a man leaving treatment with no money that the door is open before he has a paycheck, which is the point at which most people lose access to certified housing.

Level 2 Certification Across Three Sober Houses

All three residences hold 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.

Serving the Southern Coalfields

Beckley is the seat of Raleigh County and the commercial center of southern West Virginia, holding the courthouse, Raleigh General Hospital, the Beckley VA Medical Center and New River Community and Technical College. The coalfield counties around it have the highest overdose rates in the country and among the thinnest treatment infrastructure, so certified beds in the region's main city draw from a wide catchment.
