Paying for sober living in Tennessee
Across Tennessee, sober living generally runs about $165 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Median gross rent in Tennessee sits at $1,189 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher or similar state funding. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services administers that funding at state level.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Certification and oversight in Tennessee
Recovery housing in Tennessee operates without a state licence. The state's NARR affiliate, Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), 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. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
