What a bed costs in Virginia, and what help exists
Expect sober living in Virginia to run about $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. Median gross rent in Virginia sits at $1,579 a month. Residents short of the first payment often go through OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants or similar state funding. Funding of this kind runs through Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services.
How an Oxford House is run
Oxford Houses are run by their members rather than by staff, financially self-supporting and alcohol- and drug-free by charter. New members are approved by those already in the home, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Recovery housing standards in Virginia
No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Virginia. Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR) runs the voluntary certification scheme as the state's NARR affiliate. Because Oxford Houses are chartered nationally by Oxford House, Inc. rather than certified locally, they seldom show on a state registry. The state's list of certified residences is published here. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
