What sober living costs in Tennessee, and how residents pay for it
Expect sober living in Tennessee to run about $165 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. For comparison, median gross rent across Tennessee is $1,189 a month. TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, paid for by the members themselves and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are approved by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Tennessee
Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Tennessee. Homes that want certification apply to Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
