Paying for sober living in Kentucky
Sober living across Kentucky averages roughly $145 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. For comparison, median gross rent across Kentucky is $967 a month. Cabinet for Health and Family Services, Dept. for Behavioral Health, Developme is where that funding sits.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on by the members themselves, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Is sober living regulated in Kentucky?
Kentucky has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Certification is voluntary and administered by Kentucky Recovery Housing Network (KRHN), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Kentucky Fair Housing Law (Kentucky Revised Statutes Section 344.360) protect residents here.
