Paying for sober living in Missouri
Sober living across Missouri averages roughly $150 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. Against that, the median gross rent in Missouri is $1,033 a month. State funding such as SOR Recovery Housing per-bed payment and RSS Access Site 90-day rent vouchers exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health administers that funding at state level.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, paid for by the members themselves and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Missouri
Missouri does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers (MCRSP), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. Certified homes in Missouri are listed here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Missouri Fair Housing Law (Human Rights Act) (Missouri Revised Statutes Section 213.040).
