Sober living costs and rent help in Virginia
In Virginia, a bed in sober living commonly runs 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. By way of comparison, Virginia's median gross rent is $1,579 monthly. State funding such as OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants exists for residents who cannot cover it themselves. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services handles recovery-housing funding for the state.
The Oxford House model and the resident interview
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, self-funding and abstinence-based by rule. New members are accepted by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.
Recovery residence standards and oversight in Virginia
Virginia does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Certification is voluntary and administered by Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. 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. Residents are covered by the Fair Housing Act federally and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
