From Phase 1 inpatient treatment to Phase 3 graduate housing, we provide one of the most comprehensive recovery pathways in West Virginia.

About HAWC

Huntington Addiction Wellness Center was founded by our team who experienced recovery programs firsthand — and believed in a better way to ensure longterm recovery. HAWC began in 2020 as a long-term treatment center built on compassion, collaboration, and strong community values.

Today, HAWC is known for being principle-driven, client-focused, and committed to doing the right thing. With WVARR & CARF accreditations, we’ve become a trusted resource for individuals, families, and community partners across West Virginia.

Our Three-Phase Treatment Model

We are committed to the longterm success of everyone who walks through our door and have a process that supports well beyond the first 30 days of recovery.

Inpatient
Treatment

Clients begin with a full pre-assessment, medical exam, biopsychosocial evaluation, weekly doctor visits, and clinical therapy. Structured schedules, supportive staff, vocational preparation, and recreational activities help stabilize each person from the inside out.

Recovery Housing + Job Placement

Before leaving inpatient care, each person secures a job with our support. Phase 2 offers structured sober living, accountability, therapy continuation, budgeting skills, and strong community support.

Graduate Housing + Outpatient Care

A rare and essential step in long-term recovery. Clients transition into low-cost, supportive housing with outpatient therapy, accountability, drug testing, and the stability needed to build savings and independence.

Each treatment plan blends professional clinical therapy with supportive roles filled by people in recovery — creating a powerful combination of expertise and lived experience.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is eligible for treatment at HAWC?
