Paying for sober living in Oklahoma
Sober living across Oklahoma averages roughly $150 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. By way of comparison, Oklahoma's median gross rent is $1,014 monthly. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as Oklahoma Recovery Housing Program voucher and OKARR SOR-funded Request for Housing Assistance is the usual route. Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
How recovery housing is regulated in Oklahoma
Oklahoma does not license this kind of housing. Oklahoma Alliance for Recovery Resources (OKARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Certified homes in Oklahoma are listed here. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Oklahoma Fair Housing Law (25 Oklahoma Statutes Section 1452).
