Paying for sober living in Virginia

Expect sober living in Virginia to run about $200 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. Statewide, median gross rent in Virginia runs $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. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is where that funding sits.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, funded by an equal share from each resident and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by the members themselves, so the vacancy count reserves nothing.

How recovery housing is regulated in Virginia

Virginia does not license this kind of housing. Certification is voluntary and administered by Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. 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. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
