Paying for sober living in North Carolina

Typical sober living in North Carolina costs around $170 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. 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 the state agency that oversees this funding.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, financially self-supporting and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Recovery housing standards in North Carolina

Recovery housing in North Carolina operates without a state licence. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary.

People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
