What a bed costs in North Carolina, and what help exists
In North Carolina, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $170 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. Against that, the median gross rent in North Carolina is $1,228 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program is the usual route. Funding of this kind runs through North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, financially self-supporting and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are approved by the members themselves, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery housing standards in North Carolina
North Carolina does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's 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. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) protect residents here.
