What a bed costs in Virginia, and what help exists
A sober living bed in Virginia usually costs about $200 a week. Members of an Oxford House split the real cost of running the home, so this house's share is its own — the residents are the only ones who can quote it. Median gross rent in Virginia sits at $1,579 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants is the usual route. The agency behind it is Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, financially self-supporting and kept free of alcohol and illicit drugs. New members are interviewed and admitted by the current residents, 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. Certification is voluntary and administered by Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. 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. 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).
