Paying for sober living in Delaware

Across Delaware, sober living generally runs about $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. By way of comparison, Delaware's median gross rent is $1,401 monthly. Residents short of the first payment often go through DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program or similar state funding. That money is administered by Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Is sober living regulated in Delaware?

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Delaware. Voluntary certification runs through First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR), the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
