Sober living costs and rent help in Alabama

Sober living across Alabama averages roughly $150 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. By way of comparison, Alabama's median gross rent is $1,007 monthly. For those who cannot pay, ADMH Recovery Housing Initiative and veterans SSVF are among the state-funded routes used. Alabama Department of Mental Health is the state body to start with.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, self-funding and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are voted in by the current residents, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Certification and oversight in Alabama

Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Alabama. Voluntary certification runs through Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences (AARR), the state's NARR affiliate. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. The certified-residence register for Alabama is online here. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4).
