What a bed costs in North Carolina, and what help exists
Expect sober living in North Carolina to run about $170 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. For scale, renting privately in North Carolina has a median gross rent of $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 resident-governed homes, self-funding and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in North Carolina
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in North Carolina. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. 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. You can browse the certified residences in North Carolina. North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
