What sober living costs in South Carolina, and how residents pay for it

In South Carolina, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $165 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. Median gross rent in South Carolina, for comparison, is $1,180 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as Recovery Housing Program and Young Adult Recovery Housing Assistance. The agency behind it is South Carolina Dept. of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services / Dept. of Behav.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on by those already in the home, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

How recovery housing is regulated in South Carolina

Recovery residences are not state-licensed in South Carolina. The state's NARR affiliate, South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences (SCARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and South Carolina Fair Housing Law (South Carolina Code of Laws Section 31-21-40) protect residents here.
