What sober living costs in Tennessee, and how residents pay for it
A sober living bed in Tennessee usually costs 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. 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.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
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 interviewed and admitted by those already in the home, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Is sober living regulated in Tennessee?
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Tennessee. The state's NARR affiliate, Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. 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).
