Cost of recovery housing in Virginia
A sober living bed in Virginia usually costs about $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. Against that, the median gross rent in 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 body to start with.
What to know before calling an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are run by the people who live in them, paid for by the members themselves and abstinence-based by rule. New members are taken on by the existing membership, so a reported vacancy is a starting point, not a reservation.
Is sober living regulated in Virginia?
Virginia does not treat recovery residences as licensed facilities. Virginia Association of Recovery Residences (VARR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. Certified homes in Virginia are listed here. People in recovery are a protected class under the Fair Housing Act and under Virginia Fair Housing Law (Code of Virginia Section 36-96.3).
