Paying for sober living in Florida

Sober living across Florida averages roughly $205 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, paid for by the members themselves and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Florida

There is no state licence for recovery residences in Florida. Homes that want certification apply to Florida Association of Recovery Residences (FARR), the state 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. You can browse the certified residences in Florida. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Florida Fair Housing Law (Florida Statutes Section 760.23) protect residents here.
