Sober living costs and rent help in North Carolina
The going rate for sober living in North Carolina is around $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. 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.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, paid for by the members themselves and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are taken on by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery housing standards in North Carolina
Recovery housing in North Carolina operates without a state licence. Voluntary certification runs through North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state's NARR affiliate. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
