Sober living costs and rent help in North Carolina

Sober living across North Carolina averages roughly $170 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. By way of comparison, North Carolina's median gross rent is $1,228 monthly. County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, is where that funding sits.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are interviewed and admitted by the existing membership, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in North Carolina

There is no state licence for recovery residences in North Carolina. Homes that want certification apply to North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. You can browse the certified residences in North Carolina. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
