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

Across Tennessee, sober living generally runs about $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. By way of comparison, Tennessee's median gross rent is $1,189 monthly. Help with the share is available through state programmes including TDMHSAS Creating Homes Initiative and Housing Choice Voucher. The agency behind it is Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services.

How an Oxford House is run

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Certification and oversight in Tennessee

Recovery housing in Tennessee operates without a state licence. Homes that want certification apply to Tennessee Alliance of Recovery Residences (TN-ARR), the state 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 protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Tennessee Fair Housing Law (Tennessee Code Section 4-21-601).
