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. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. For comparison, median gross rent across South Carolina is $1,180 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through Recovery Housing Program and Young Adult Recovery Housing Assistance or similar state funding. South Carolina Dept. of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services / Dept. of Behav is where that funding sits.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.

Recovery housing standards in South Carolina

Recovery residences are not state-licensed in South Carolina. Homes that want certification apply to South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences (SCARR), the state NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does South Carolina Fair Housing Law (South Carolina Code of Laws Section 31-21-40).
