ABOUT US

West Virginia has unfortunately seen a rise in substance use disorders, impacting countless families. WVSL Solutions, a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, was founded and is led by individuals who have experienced long-term recovery from substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. At WVSL Solutions, we firmly believe in the possibility of recovery, and our guiding philosophy centers on treating individuals with compassion and respect, regardless of their clinical diagnosis. We empower our clients to take charge of their recovery path. Our dedicated team is comprised of highly trained professionals who understand the complexities of behavioral health conditions. Communication and support among our staff members are vital to our success, and we are known for finding solutions when others say, “We can’t.” Our reputation is built on how we interact with those we serve and our broader community. We recognize that the individuals we support are someone’s family, and we acknowledge the importance of addressing untreated illnesses. As part of our commitment to holistic wellness, WVSL Solutions has expanded its services beyond sober living. We are now proud to offer comprehensive community outreach, supportive employment programs, and mental healthcare for adults who desire change. This expansion reflects our dedication to addressing the diverse needs of our community and providing a more extensive range of support services. While our primary focus is on the well-being of others, we also prioritize the health and wellness of our staff. Self-care is integral to our agency, and we encourage our team to maintain a healthy work-life balance. As we continue to grow and face the challenges within our state and communities, we remain committed to innovative and progressive strategies. We are turning our dreams into reality with the dedication of each member of our family-oriented company.

A message from our Founder

 

Substance use disorders have become so prevalent in West Virginia and have affected so many families. West Virginia Sober Living has been instrumental in offering structure and support for those recovering from drug and alcohol addiction in our region. We have formed a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, West Virginia Sober Living, that is designed to reintegrate recovering individuals back into the community.

Male and female residents in the program live with us for a period of six to 12 months and will begin to develop strong relationships and demonstrate transparency in their daily lives as they maintain accountability to the group. The West Virginia Sober Living program is centered on the principles of 12 Steps. Through the program, residents will gain independence and responsibility, both financially and emotionally, as they become the person they want to be, which is the ultimate goal. West Virginia Sober Living provides a safe, caring and supportive environment for residents to begin living a sober lifestyle and developing healthy new relationships in the region’s active recovery community.

We accommodate individuals that have been through primary treatment and desire a sober living environment as they progress in their recovery. Residents are expected to remain drug and alcohol free, actively participate in a 12-step recovery program and work, volunteer or be enrolled in school full-time.

We have a lot of fun at West Virginia Sober Living! We have a softball team, as well as monthly outings to amusement parks, the movies, paintball fields or other activities of the groups’ choosing. We also have very active alumni. Graduates of the program come back to the house for a weekly recovery meeting and also stop by throughout the week to meet with the new residents and fellowship. We are proud to be an asset to the community and are very grateful for all of the support we receive.
