What sober living costs in North Carolina, and how residents pay for it
The going rate for sober living in North Carolina is around $170 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. For scale, renting privately in North Carolina has a median gross rent of $1,228 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program or similar state funding. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Recovery residence standards and oversight 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. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. You can browse the certified residences in North Carolina. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4).
