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

Expect sober living in Alabama to run about $150 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in Alabama sits at $1,007 a month. State funding such as ADMH Recovery Housing Initiative and veterans SSVF exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. That money is administered by Alabama Department of Mental Health.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by the current residents, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Recovery housing standards in Alabama

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Alabama. Alabama Alliance for Recovery Residences (AARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4).
