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

Across Alabama, sober living generally runs about $150 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent statewide in Alabama is $1,007 a month, for context. Help with the share is available through state programmes including ADMH Recovery Housing Initiative and veterans SSVF. Alabama Department of Mental Health is the state body to start with.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by the existing membership, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight 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. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Alabama publishes its certified-residence directory. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Alabama Fair Housing Law (Code of Alabama Section 24-8-4).
