Cost of recovery housing in Virginia

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. For scale, renting privately in Virginia has a median gross rent of $1,579 a month. Help with the share is available through state programmes including 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, and how to apply

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are voted in by the people already living there, so an opening is not the same thing as an acceptance.

Is sober living regulated in Virginia?

Virginia does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Voluntary certification runs through Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. Virginia publishes its certified-residence directory. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
