What a bed costs in Missouri, and what help exists

In Missouri, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $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. Median gross rent statewide in Missouri is $1,033 a month, for context. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as SOR Recovery Housing per-bed payment and RSS Access Site 90-day rent vouchers. Missouri Department of Mental Health, Division of Behavioral Health is where that funding sits.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
