Sober living costs and rent help in Virginia

Sober living across Virginia averages roughly $200 a week. Oxford House works on an equal share of what the home actually costs, not a set rent, so treat that as the market rather than this address. For scale, renting privately in Virginia has a median gross rent of $1,579 a month. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants. The agency behind it is Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by a house vote, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Is sober living regulated in Virginia?

Virginia does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Homes that want certification apply to Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state NARR affiliate. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. The certified-residence register for Virginia is online here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
