What sober living costs in Tennessee, and how residents pay for it
Sober living in Tennessee typically runs around $165 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. For scale, renting privately in Tennessee has a median gross rent of $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 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, funded by an equal share from each resident and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are accepted by the members themselves, 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
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Tennessee. Voluntary certification runs through Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
