Paying for sober living in Kansas
Typical sober living in Kansas costs around $155 a week.

Median gross rent statewide in Kansas is $1,060 a month, for context. The agency behind it is Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Behavioral Health Service.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
