Sober living costs and rent help in North Carolina
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. State funding such as County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, self-funding and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by the members themselves, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
Certification and oversight in North Carolina
North Carolina does not licence recovery residences as facilities. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. The certified-residence list for North Carolina is published here. 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).
