Sober living costs and rent help in Delaware

Sober living across Delaware averages roughly $185 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. By way of comparison, Delaware's median gross rent is $1,401 monthly. For those who cannot pay, DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program are among the state-funded routes used. The agency behind it is Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, self-funding and required to stay substance-free. New members are approved by the people already living there, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Delaware

Delaware does not license this kind of housing. Certification is voluntary and administered by First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
