Paying for sober living in Virginia
The going rate for sober living in Virginia is around $200 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. By way of comparison, Virginia's median gross rent is $1,579 monthly. Help with the share is available through state programmes including OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are managed day to day by their residents, supported entirely by the residents' own contributions and required to stay substance-free. New members are chosen by those already in the home, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Recovery residence standards and oversight 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. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. Certified homes in Virginia are listed here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
