Paying for sober living in Kansas
Expect sober living in Kansas to run about $155 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. For scale, renting privately in Kansas has a median gross rent of $1,060 a month. Funding of this kind runs through Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Behavioral Health Service.
How an Oxford House is run
