Paying for sober living in North Carolina

Across North Carolina, sober living generally runs about $170 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. Against that, the median gross rent in 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. Funding of this kind runs through North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

How recovery housing is regulated in North Carolina

North Carolina does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Certification is voluntary and administered by North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The certified-residence register for North Carolina is online here. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) protect residents here.
