Paying for sober living in Florida

A sober living bed in Florida usually costs about $205 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. For scale, renting privately in Florida has a median gross rent of $1,669 a month. The agency behind it is Florida Department of Children and Families.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

How recovery housing is regulated in Florida

Florida does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Voluntary certification runs through Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Florida publishes its certified-residence directory. Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
