Sober living costs and rent help in North Carolina
Expect sober living in North Carolina to run about $170 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. Against that, the median gross rent in North Carolina 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, is the state body to start with.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on 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?
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. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. North Carolina publishes its certified-residence directory. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and North Carolina Fair Housing Law (North Carolina General Statutes Section 41A-4) protect residents here.
