Cost of recovery housing in Alabama

Sober living in Alabama typically runs around $150 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Statewide, median gross rent in Alabama runs $1,007 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as ADMH Recovery Housing Initiative and veterans SSVF. Alabama Department of Mental Health is the state agency that oversees this funding.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are chosen by the members themselves, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.

Recovery housing standards in Alabama

Alabama does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences (AARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. 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. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4) protect residents here.
