Oxford Houses are self-governing households, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. 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?
North Carolina does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Homes that want certification apply to North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. You can browse the certified residences in North Carolina. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
