Sober living costs and rent help in North Carolina
Sober living in North Carolina typically runs around $170 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. For comparison, median gross rent across 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. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
How recovery housing is 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. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
