Cost of recovery housing in Delaware
A sober living bed in Delaware usually costs about $185 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. Median gross rent in Delaware sits at $1,401 a month. For those who cannot pay, DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program are among the state-funded routes used. That money is administered by Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are chosen by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
How recovery housing is regulated in Delaware
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Delaware. First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Delaware publishes its certified-residence directory. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
