Paying for sober living in North Carolina
Across North Carolina, sober living generally runs about $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 statewide in North Carolina is $1,228 a month, for context. 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. Funding of this kind runs through North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health,.
How the Oxford House model works
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, self-funding and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery housing standards in North Carolina
There is no state licence for recovery residences in North Carolina. North Carolina Association of Recovery Residences (NCARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry.
