Paying for sober living in North Carolina
Sober living in North Carolina typically runs around $170 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. Against that, the median gross rent in North Carolina is $1,228 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program. That money is administered by North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, paid for by the members themselves and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are interviewed and admitted by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Is sober living regulated in North Carolina?
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in North Carolina. Homes that want certification apply to North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. North Carolina publishes its certified-residence directory. North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
