What a bed costs in North Carolina, and what help exists
A sober living bed in North Carolina usually costs about $170 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. By way of comparison, North Carolina's median gross rent is $1,228 monthly. County opioid-settlement Recovery Housing Support and NC Commerce CDBG Recovery Housing Program are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. North Carolina Dept. of Health and Human Services, Division of Mental Health, is the state body to start with.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are chosen by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Is sober living 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 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. You can browse the certified residences in North Carolina. North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
