Paying for sober living in Virginia

Sober living in Virginia typically runs around $200 a week. An equal share of the home's actual costs is what Oxford House members pay, so the number above describes the market rather than this house. For comparison, median gross rent across Virginia is $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. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.

What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are self-governing households, covered by the members' equal shares and abstinence-based by rule. New members are chosen by a house vote, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

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. Oxford Houses are chartered by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified by a state affiliate, so this home will not usually appear on a state certification list. The certified-residence list for Virginia is published here. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
