Cost of recovery housing in North Carolina

Sober living in North Carolina typically runs around $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, handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.

Recovery housing standards in North Carolina

North Carolina does not license this kind of housing. The state's NARR affiliate, North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Certified homes in North Carolina are listed here. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
