What a bed costs in Virginia, and what help exists

Across Virginia, sober living generally runs about $200 a week. An Oxford House does not set a rent — members split what the house actually costs to run, so the figure here is a guide to the market, not to this home. Median gross rent in Virginia sits at $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 the state body to start with.

How the Oxford House model works

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, funded by an equal share from each resident and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are taken on by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Recovery housing standards in Virginia

No state licence is required to run a recovery residence in Virginia. Homes that want certification apply to Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR), the state NARR affiliate. Certification by the state affiliate and an Oxford House charter are different things; this home holds the latter. Virginia publishes its certified-residence directory. Residents are protected by the federal Fair Housing Act and by Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
