What sober living costs in Virginia, and how residents pay for it
The going rate for sober living in Virginia is around $200 a week. Because Oxford House members share the home's real expenses instead of paying rent, this house's share may sit above or below that; only the residents can say. For comparison, median gross rent across Virginia is $1,579 a month. People who cannot pay a share up front commonly use programmes such as OAA opioid-settlement grants and DBHDS/VARR indigent-bed grants. Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services is the state agency that oversees this funding.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are self-governing households, financially self-supporting and substance-free as a condition of membership. New members are approved by the current residents, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.
Certification and oversight in Virginia
Recovery housing in Virginia operates without a state licence. Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. See the state certified-residence list for homes that carry it. The federal Fair Housing Act applies, as does Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
