Cost of recovery housing 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. By way of comparison, Tennessee's median gross rent is $1,189 monthly. State funding such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is where that funding sits.

How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, self-funding and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the current residents, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Tennessee

There is no state licence for recovery residences in Tennessee. Voluntary certification runs through 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. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
