Sober living costs and rent help in Alabama
Sober living in Alabama typically runs around $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. Statewide, median gross rent in Alabama runs $1,007 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including ADMH Recovery Housing Initiative and veterans SSVF. That money is administered by Alabama Department of Mental Health.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are voted in by the people already living there, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Is sober living regulated 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. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. Alabama publishes its certified-residence directory. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4).
