Cost of recovery housing in South Carolina

Across South Carolina, sober living generally runs about $165 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Against that, the median gross rent in 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. 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 self-governing households, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Certification and oversight in South Carolina

South Carolina does not licence recovery residences as facilities. South Carolina Alliance for Recovery Residences (SCARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and South Carolina Fair Housing Law (South Carolina Code of Laws Section 31-21-40).
