Cost of recovery housing in Virginia
Sober living in Virginia typically runs around $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. Median gross rent in Virginia, for comparison, is $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. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, self-funding and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are interviewed and admitted by the existing membership, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery housing standards in Virginia
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Virginia. Homes that want certification apply to Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state NARR affiliate. This home is chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by the state affiliate, so it will not normally be on the certified list. A directory of certified residences is maintained for the state. Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3) applies alongside the federal Fair Housing Act.
