Cost of recovery housing in Connecticut

Across Connecticut, sober living generally runs about $190 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. Median gross rent in Connecticut, for comparison, is $1,488 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as HERO RAP vouchers and CT Block Grant short-term recovery-housing vouchers. CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, financially self-supporting and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by a house vote, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Is sober living regulated in Connecticut?

Connecticut does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Voluntary standards are set by Connecticut Alliance of Recovery Residences (CTARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. Connecticut publishes its certified-residence directory. Connecticut Fair Housing Law (Connecticut General Statutes Section 46a-64c) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
