What a bed costs in Louisiana, and what help exists
The going rate for sober living in Louisiana is around $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. For comparison, median gross rent across Louisiana is $1,064 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as Permanent Supportive Housing and SSVF and HUD-VASH is the usual route. Louisiana Department of Health, Office of Behavioral Health is where that funding sits.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are accepted by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Is sober living regulated in Louisiana?
Louisiana does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Louisiana Fair Housing Law (Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 51:2606).
