What a bed costs in Tennessee, and what help exists

Typical sober living in Tennessee costs around $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. Median gross rent in Tennessee, for comparison, is $1,189 a month. 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 is the state body to start with.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and required to stay substance-free. New members are approved by the people already living there, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Certification and oversight in Tennessee

Tennessee does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Voluntary standards are set by Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
