What sober living costs in North Carolina, and how residents pay for it
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. Against that, the median gross rent in North Carolina 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. The agency behind it is North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, paid for by the members themselves and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery housing standards in North Carolina
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in North Carolina. The state's NARR affiliate, North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
