What sober living costs in North Carolina, and how residents pay for it

Typical sober living in North Carolina costs around $170 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Median gross rent in North Carolina, for comparison, 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. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, is where that funding sits.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the people already living there, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Certification and oversight in North Carolina

Recovery housing in North Carolina operates without a state licence. Homes that want certification apply to North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. North Carolina publishes its certified-residence directory. North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
