About REA of Hope
Rea of Hope is a 12 step residential fellowship program for women aged 18 and older in Charleston, West Virginia. They teach women how to live without drugs and alcohol, and support pregnant and postpartum women as well as mothers working to get their kids back.
The program is structured to promote growth and self reliance. You’ll be expected to contribute $77 per week for the program and $42 per week for food.
Two Phase Program
Their program is structured in two distinct phases. During phase one, you’ll live in one of two staffed homes with 14 beds for a minimum of six months. They’ll help you find a job, go back to school or take part in volunteer work. You’ll build structure, confidence and personal responsibility to make it easier to stay on track.
When you graduate to phase two, you’ll live on your own with your children in one of 12 New Life Apartments. They’ll continue to provide legal and financial support as you work toward independence. I noticed they work with local agencies to provide you with job skills training, GED prep and transportation.
Women and Children Reviews
Graduates of the program have shared positive experiences and gratitude for their personal growth, sustained sobriety and reunification with children. One woman said, “All of my needs were met and I was taught how to live again. I’ve maintained my sobriety, graduated college, achieved gainful employment and purchased my own home.” Children of graduates also expressed gratitude for feeling safe again.
Local Activities Can Support Recovery
Just seven miles outside the city is Kanawha State Forest, a large nature park where you can enjoy hiking, biking and a playground for the kids. If river views are more grounding for you, the Haddad River Front Park is a great place to relax and maybe even catch an event or concert. The vibrant downtown Charleston Historic District offers public art and ghost tours, and access to community resources that may support your healing in recovery.

I'm a 2013 Graduate. The Rea is an absolutely phenomenal recovery home for women. Fantastic program. I couldn't recommend it more. All of my needs were met and I was taught how to live again. I've maintained my sobriety, graduated college, achieved gainful employment, and purchased my own home. My successes are also The Rea of Hopes. I couldn't have made it here without them.
This is a great place for women to live when they begin their journey into recovery. Here they are able to work on their recovery as they work towards reentry into society.
Best place for a new start in life. Great job

Other Forms of Payment
MonthlySelf-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Medicaid is a state based program that helps lower-income individuals and families pay for healthcare. Medicaid covers addiction treatment so those enrolled can use their coverage to pay for rehab. When a program accepts Medicaid the client often pays very little or nothing out of their own pocket.
Medicare is a federal program that provides health insurance for those 65 and older. It also serves people under 65 with chronic and disabling health challenges. To use Medicare for addiction treatment you need to find a program that accepts Medicare and is in network with your plan. Out of pocket costs and preauthorization requirements vary, so always check with your provider.
Addiction Treatments
Levels of Care
Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.
12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Clients undergoing treatment at an inpatient rehab receive intensive clinical supervision and robust therapeutic support. Clients remain at the facility for the duration of their program, allowing them to focus on their recovery free of outside distractions, stressors, and triggers. Most inpatient programs offer addiction counseling as their primary treatment modality. This often includes group and family therapy in addition to individual counseling. Many centers also provide complementary therapies and recovery-focused life skills training.
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
Drug addiction causes psychological and physical damage through repeated and uncontrollable use of substances. Drug rehab in West Virginia focuses on providing a full continuum of care, from detox to aftercare, and treatment can take place in outpatient or inpatient settings, based on your needs.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
Programs
Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
Young adulthood can be an exciting, yet difficult, time of transition. Individuals in their late teens to mid-20s face unique stressors related to school, jobs, families, and social circles, which can lead to a rise in substance use. Rehab centers with dedicated young adult programs will include activities and amenities that cater to this age group, with an emphasis on specialized counseling, peer socialization, and ongoing aftercare.
Rehabs for women provide a safe, nurturing space for female clients to heal. These treatment programs consider the specific obstacles that women can face during recovery and place a special emphasis on mental, social, physical, and reproductive health. They explore how each woman's experience has shaped the trajectory of their substance use, addressing issues such as sexual abuse and past trauma.
Clinical Services
Group therapy is any therapeutic work that happens in a group (not one-on-one). There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, psycho-education, and more. Group therapy involves treatment as well as processing interaction between group members.
Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. These include time management, career guidance, money management, and effective communication. Truly successful addiction recovery is based on the ability to not only live substance-free, but to thrive. Life skills teaches the practical necessities of functioning in society, which sets clients up for success in life, and therefore sobriety.
