What sober living costs in Alabama, and how residents pay for it

Typical sober living in Alabama costs around $150 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. Statewide, median gross rent in Alabama runs $1,007 a month. State funding such as ADMH Recovery Housing Initiative and veterans SSVF exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Alabama Department of Mental Health handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Recovery housing standards in Alabama

Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Alabama. Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences (AARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Certified homes in Alabama are listed here. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4) protect residents here.
