recovery that meets you where you are

Phoenix Recovery House is a WVARR-certified recovery residence serving women in North Central West Virginia. Some of us are mothers navigating recovery while raising our children. Some of us are working to reunify with kids in foster care. Some of us are building our recovery on our own terms. All of us are here to heal, grow, and build lives that last.

What makes us unique? We're the only recovery residence in our region where mothers can stay with their children during recovery. But our program serves all women seeking lasting change.

What We Do

We run a one-year residential program grounded in evidence-based treatment and real-world skills. It's structured, it's intensive, and it works. Our graduates are living independently, working in careers they're proud of, and living recovery—because they built something sustainable here.

We're also opening our doors to the broader community. Right now, that means SMART Recovery meetings every Wednesday at 6pm at Christ Episcopal Church—free and open to anyone. In 2027, when our new facility opens, we're launching a drop-in center where anyone in our community can walk in for support, resources, or just a safe place to be.

The Numbers That Matter

7 women have graduated our program
21 children reunified with their mothers
9 women working in stable careers
Multiple women living independently, completely unassisted

We're not just helping people get sober. We're helping them build actual lives.

what makes us different

Most recovery housing for women do not allow children. We do. If you're a mother and your kids can safely be with you, they can live here while you work the program. If you're working toward getting your kids back, we have space for supervised visits and we'll help you navigate that process.

But here's the thing: you don't have to be a mother to be here. Our program serves all women in recovery. Period.

We're also building something bigger than just our house. Our new community center—opening in the coming years—will have a drop-in space, meeting rooms, and visitation areas available to anyone in recovery, not just Phoenix residents. Because recovery happens in community, and that community shouldn't have walls around it.

We're Growing

Thanks to a $380,000 grant from West Virginia First Foundation and support from local partners The United Way of Harrison & Doddridge County, the City of Clarksburg, and the Harrison County Commision, we're expanding from 9 beds to 30+ beds in a new facility in Clarksburg. That means we can serve three times as many women in our residential program—and we're building a real recovery hub for the region with services open to everyone.
