Paying for sober living in Delaware

Sober living across Delaware averages roughly $185 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. For scale, renting privately in Delaware has a median gross rent of $1,401 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including DSAMH Recovery Support Scholarship and State Rental Assistance Program. Delaware Health and Social Services, Division of Substance Abuse and Mental He administers that funding at state level.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the members themselves, 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. Voluntary standards are set by First State Alliance of Recovery Residences (FSARR), the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. You can browse the certified residences in Delaware. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Delaware Fair Housing Law (6 Delaware Code Section 4603).
