New Beginnings Home for Men (NB) and Marjorie Oakley Home for Women (MOH) are faith-based, Level III Substance Use Recovery Residences operated by Recovery Group of Southern West Virginia, Inc. (RGSWV). Each residence offers up to 18 months of structured recovery support divided into three phases that residents complete to graduate.
RGSWV operates as an abstinence-based recovery home and supports sobriety from all mind- or mood-altering substances. Only certain FDA-approved SSRIs for depression (Celexa, Lexapro, Prozac, Paxil) are supported. The program does not support ongoing use of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD), including Suboxone, Subutex, Sublocade, and Methadone. However, a single, medically supervised injection of long-acting buprenorphine (e.g., Sublocade, Brixadi) prior to admission may be supported as part of a transition to abstinence. The ongoing use of Vivitrol is supported specifically for alcohol use disorder.
Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor areas; indoor or vehicle smoking is not permitted. Vaping products and energy drinks are considered prohibited items and are not supported within the residence.
Applicants with violent felony convictions or those listed on the national sex offender registry are not eligible for admission.
The Resident Application collects essential demographic, clinical, legal, and support information to assess applicant fit. All program-specific requirements—including level of support, clinical services, medication policies, faith-based participation, fees, program length, and work expectations—are fully disclosed and detailed in the accompanying Resident Agreement document. This combined documentation ensures prospective residents are fully informed and appropriately assessed for admission.
