Cost of recovery housing in Delaware

Typical sober living in Delaware costs around $185 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. 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. That money is administered by Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on by a house vote, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Delaware

Delaware has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Voluntary standards are set by First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR), 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. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
