Paying for sober living in North Carolina
Typical sober living in North Carolina costs around $170 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent statewide in North Carolina is $1,228 a month, for context. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, administers that funding at state level.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are taken on by the existing membership, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Is sober living regulated in North Carolina?
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in North Carolina. Homes that want certification apply to North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
