What sober living costs in Maine, and how residents pay for it
Sober living in Maine typically runs around $160 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in Maine sits at $1,139 a month. HSSP, YSP, Bed Sponsorship Fund and BRAP, PSHP, PATH are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Behavioral Health is where that funding sits.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, self-funding and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Maine
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Maine. The state's NARR affiliate, Maine Association of Recovery Residences (MARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Maine Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (5 Maine Revised Statutes Section 4581-A).
