What sober living costs in Virginia, and how residents pay for it
Sober living in Virginia typically runs around $200 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. Median gross rent in Virginia sits at $1,579 a month. State funding such as OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
How recovery housing is regulated in Virginia
Recovery housing in Virginia operates without a state licence. Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Oxford Houses run on a charter from Oxford House, Inc., not state certification, so expect this address to be missing from the state list. Certified homes in Virginia are listed here. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3) protect residents here.
