Cost of recovery housing in Tennessee
Sober living across Tennessee averages roughly $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. Median gross rent statewide in Tennessee is $1,189 a month, for context. 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.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so the opening shown here is a past report rather than an offer.
How recovery housing is regulated in Tennessee
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Tennessee. Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
