What a bed costs in North Carolina, and what help exists
Across North Carolina, sober living generally runs about $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, is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the current residents, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in North Carolina
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in North Carolina. Voluntary certification runs through North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
