What sober living costs in Tennessee, and how residents pay for it

Typical sober living in Tennessee costs around $165 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. By way of comparison, Tennessee's median gross rent is $1,189 monthly. TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Funding of this kind runs through Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

Is sober living regulated in Tennessee?

Recovery housing in Tennessee operates without a state licence. Voluntary certification runs through Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
