What sober living costs in Tennessee, and how residents pay for it

A sober living bed in Tennessee usually costs about $165 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. Statewide, median gross rent in Tennessee runs $1,189 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher. Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are voted in by the people already living there, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

Certification and oversight in Tennessee

Recovery residences are not state-licensed in Tennessee. Certification is voluntary and administered by Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
