What a bed costs in Virginia, and what help exists

Expect sober living in Virginia to run about $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. Against that, the median gross rent in Virginia is $1,579 a month. OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants are among the public routes that pay for recovery-housing beds here. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are interviewed and admitted by the current residents, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.

How recovery housing is regulated in Virginia

Virginia has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Homes that want certification apply to Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. The certified-residence register for Virginia is online here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
