Sober living costs and rent help in Tennessee

Sober living in Tennessee typically runs around $165 a week. Oxford House residents split the house's actual running costs equally rather than paying a set rent, so this home's share may be different — the house is the only source for its own figure. For scale, renting privately in Tennessee has a median gross rent of $1,189 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher is the usual route. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services administers that funding at state level.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, financially self-supporting and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by the people already living there, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

How recovery housing is regulated in Tennessee

Tennessee has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Voluntary standards are set by Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
