Paying for sober living in Illinois

Expect sober living in Illinois to run about $170 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. Median gross rent in Illinois sits at $1,274 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as IDHS/SUPR Recovery Home contracts and CORS and WARM settlement peer-support grants is the usual route. Illinois Department of Human Services, Division of Substance Use Prevention an is where that funding sits.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, paid for by the members themselves and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are approved by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

How recovery housing is regulated in Illinois

Licensing in Illinois applies in certain cases only, and peer-run homes usually sit outside it. Voluntary standards are set by Illinois Association of Extended Care (IAEC), the state's 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. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. 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).
