What sober living costs in North Carolina, and how residents pay for it
Across North Carolina, sober living generally runs 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. Against that, the median gross rent in North Carolina is $1,228 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program. The agency behind it is North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, paid for by the members themselves and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are interviewed and admitted by the people already living there, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Is sober living regulated in North Carolina?
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in North Carolina. The state's NARR affiliate, North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. The certified-residence register for North Carolina is online here. North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
