Paying for sober living in Connecticut
Expect sober living in Connecticut to run about $190 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Against that, the median gross rent in Connecticut is $1,488 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through HERO RAP vouchers and CT Block Grant short-term recovery-housing vouchers or similar state funding. CT Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is where that funding sits.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are voted in by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Is sober living regulated in Connecticut?
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Connecticut. Homes that want certification apply to Connecticut Alliance of Recovery Residences (CTARR), the state NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Connecticut Fair Housing Law (Connecticut General Statutes Section 46a-64c).

Sober living houses, also called sober homes and sober living environments, are facilities that provide safe housing and supportive, structured living conditions for people exiting drug rehabilitation programs. Sober houses serve as a transitional environment between such programs and mainstream society.
