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

Sober living in North Carolina typically runs around $170 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. 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.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, funded by an equal share from each resident and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

How recovery housing is regulated in North Carolina

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in North Carolina. Certification is voluntary and administered by North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. 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).
