What a bed costs in Virginia, and what help exists
Across Virginia, sober living generally 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. Help with the share is available through state programmes including OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is where that funding sits.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, covered by the members' equal shares and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are taken on by the current residents, 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. Voluntary standards are set by Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state's NARR affiliate. Oxford House charters its own homes, so an Oxford House is usually not on a state affiliate's certified register. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
