Paying for sober living in Delaware

Typical sober living in Delaware costs around $185 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. Statewide, median gross rent in Delaware runs $1,401 a month. DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He is where that funding sits.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are voted in by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Delaware

Delaware does not license this kind of housing. First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as 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. The certified-residence register for Delaware is online here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
