Paying for sober living in North Carolina
Expect sober living in North Carolina to run 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. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program. 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, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are approved by the members themselves, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
How recovery housing is regulated in North Carolina
Recovery housing in North Carolina operates without a state licence. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. 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).
