What a bed costs in South Carolina, and what help exists

In South Carolina, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $165 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in South Carolina, for comparison, is $1,180 a month. For those who cannot pay, Recovery Housing Program and Young Adult Recovery Housing Assistance are among the state-funded routes used. The agency behind it is South Carolina Dept. of Alcohol and Other Drug Abuse Services / Dept. of Behav.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, financially self-supporting and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are approved by those already in the home, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

How recovery housing is regulated in South Carolina

South Carolina does not license this kind of housing. South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences (SCARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by South Carolina Fair Housing Law (South Carolina Code of Laws Section 31-21-40).
