Our Story
Our mission began with three friends, each with a lived experience of battling addiction, who knew that they needed to do their part to combat the crisis facing West Virginia.
We focus on a wide range of medical services, ensuring we treat each patient as a whole person, not just a mental health struggle, and approaching each case individually with compassion and empathy.
When you walk through our doors, you’ll be met with an atmosphere of calm, understanding, compassion and integrity. Many of us have faced and overcome the struggles you're enduring, which is why our ultimate goal is your freedom from active addiction and mental health challenges.
Your new beginning awaits at RRG, where you're more than a patient - you're family.
WELCOME HOME.
