What sober living costs in Delaware, and how residents pay for it
Sober living in Delaware typically runs around $185 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Median gross rent in Delaware, for comparison, is $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 managed day to day by their residents, financially self-supporting and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are voted in by the existing membership, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Certification and oversight in Delaware
Recovery housing in Delaware operates without a state licence. First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. Delaware publishes its certified-residence directory. Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
