Paying for sober living in Illinois

Sober living in Illinois typically runs around $170 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Median gross rent statewide in Illinois is $1,274 a month, for context. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is where that funding sits.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, funded by an equal share from each resident and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are voted in by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Illinois

Licensing in Illinois applies in certain cases only, and peer-run homes usually sit outside it. The state's NARR affiliate, Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), certifies homes that choose to apply. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. The certified-residence list for Illinois is published here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Illinois Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (775 Illinois Compiled Statutes Section 5/3-102).
