In North Carolina, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $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. Median gross rent in North Carolina, for comparison, is $1,228 a month. State funding such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. That money is administered by North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the current residents, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Is sober living regulated in North Carolina?
North Carolina does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Voluntary certification runs through North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
