RGSWV was established in 2014 to provide community and faith-based recovery programs. The organization offers evidence-based practices that promote social and emotional well-being; prevention-approached, person-centered intervention; and self-directed and/or recovery-driven support services.
RGSWV operates under the expertise and leadership of its Board of Directors composed of local community leaders, full-time Executive Director, Program Managers, Peer Recovery Support Specialists, and Recovery Services Program Director. An Advisory Board made up of 60% peers helps inform decision making and program implementation across all our programs. In addition, 80% of current staff self-identify as people in personal recovery from their own substance use disorders.
RGSWV owns and operates two (2) WVARR Certified, NARR Level III Substance Use Recovery Residences located in Logan County, WV: New Beginnings Home for Men and the Marjorie Oakley Home for Women. Each facility is a 16-bed, faith-based, supervised recovery residence, offering many services and supports to individuals who enter the program. Recovery facilities provide safe housing for individuals, ages 18 or older, who are recovering from substance use. RGSWV is considered a long-term recovery residence (6-18 months). The New Beginnings Home for Men was opened in July of 2014; the Marjorie Oakley Home for Women was opened in October of 2014. The recovery residences are staffed 24/7 by Program Managers, Peer Recovery Support Specialists, Recovery Coaches, or Technicians.
RGSWV opened the Logan Recovery Community Center in May of 2023, which serves as a Recovery Community Center for recovery information and referrals, peer support, mutual aid groups (i.e. AA, NA) and other services in the rural community of Logan, West Virginia.
Through strong partnerships with local organizations, RGSWV can provide or facilitate job training, financial literacy classes, high-school equivalency classes, assistance with college course enrollment, job readiness training, resume-building, transportation, training, and certifications, and more.
