Paying for sober living in North Carolina
Sober living in North Carolina typically runs around $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. Median gross rent in North Carolina, for comparison, is $1,228 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program or similar state funding. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, is the state body to start with.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, covered by the members' equal shares and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery housing standards in North Carolina
North Carolina does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. The state's NARR affiliate, North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. 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. The certified-residence register for North Carolina is online here. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
