Cost of recovery housing in Kansas
Expect sober living in Kansas to run about $155 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are voted in by a house vote, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Certification and oversight in Kansas
Kansas does not licence recovery residences as facilities. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Kansas Fair Housing Law (Kansas Statutes Section 44-1016).
