What sober living costs in Illinois, and how residents pay for it

Sober living in Illinois typically runs around $170 a week.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.

Recovery housing standards in Illinois

In Illinois licensing bites only in some cases, and not normally on peer-run homes. Homes that want certification apply to Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102) protect residents here.
