Cost of recovery housing in Virginia
Sober living across Virginia averages roughly $200 a week. That is a market figure, not this home's. Oxford House members divide the actual running costs equally, so ask the house directly. For scale, renting privately in Virginia has a median gross rent of $1,579 a month. For those who cannot pay, OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants are among the state-funded routes used. That money is administered by Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
How the Oxford House model works, and how to apply
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, covered by the members' equal shares and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are accepted by the existing membership, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.
Is sober living regulated in Virginia?
There is no state licence for recovery residences in Virginia. The state's NARR affiliate, Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), certifies homes that choose to apply. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. The certified-residence register for Virginia is online here. Both the federal Fair Housing Act and Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3) protect residents here.
