Sober living costs and rent help in Missouri

Sober living in Missouri typically runs around $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. Statewide, median gross rent in Missouri runs $1,033 a month. 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 the state body to start with.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, financially self-supporting and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Missouri

Recovery housing in Missouri operates without a state licence. Certification is voluntary and administered by Missouri Coalition of Recovery Support Providers (MCRSP), 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. 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).
