Paying for sober living in Virginia
Across Virginia, sober living generally runs about $200 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. By way of comparison, Virginia's median gross rent is $1,579 monthly. Residents short of the first payment often go through OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants or similar state funding. 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 alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by the current residents, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Virginia
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Virginia. Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Certified homes in Virginia are listed here. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
