Paying for sober living in Alabama

Typical sober living in Alabama costs around $150 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. Median gross rent in Alabama, for comparison, is $1,007 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through ADMH Recovery Housing Initiative and veterans SSVF or similar state funding. That money is administered by Alabama Department of Mental Health.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, financially self-supporting and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are voted in by the current residents, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Recovery housing standards in Alabama

Alabama does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. The state's NARR affiliate, Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences (AARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4) protect residents here.
