Paying for sober living in Kansas

A sober living bed in Kansas usually costs 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 comparison, median gross rent across Kansas is $1,060 a month. Kansas Department for Aging and Disability Services, Behavioral Health Service administers that funding at state level.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, financially self-supporting and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are approved by a house vote, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

How recovery housing is regulated in Kansas

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Kansas.
