What sober living costs in Tennessee, and how residents pay for it
In Tennessee, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $165 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. By way of comparison, Tennessee's median gross rent is $1,189 monthly. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, paid for by the members themselves and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are approved by the members themselves, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
Is sober living regulated in Tennessee?
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Tennessee. Homes that want certification apply to Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), 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. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
