What a bed costs in Tennessee, and what help exists

Sober living across Tennessee averages roughly $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. Median gross rent in Tennessee, for comparison, is $1,189 a month. For those who cannot pay, TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher are among the state-funded routes used. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is the state body to start with.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, paid for by the members themselves and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Tennessee

Tennessee does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Certification is voluntary and administered by Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601) protect residents here.
