Cost of recovery housing 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 short of the first payment often go through OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants or similar state funding. That money is administered by Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
How Oxford House membership works
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, self-funding and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are voted in by those already in the home, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.
How recovery housing is regulated in Virginia
Virginia does not licence recovery residences as facilities. The state's NARR affiliate, Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
