What sober living costs in Washington, and how residents pay for it

In Washington, a bed in sober living commonly runs about $215 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. Median gross rent in Washington, for comparison, is $1,760 a month. Where paying the share is not possible, state-funded help such as HCA Short-Term SUD Housing Vouchers and DOC Reentry Housing Vouchers is the usual route. Funding of this kind runs through Washington State Health Care Authority - Recovery Residence Program / Recovery.

How Oxford House membership works

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, paid for by the members themselves and free of alcohol and drugs. New members are taken on by the people already living there, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in Washington

Washington does not licence recovery residences as facilities. Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR) is the NARR affiliate here, and its certification is voluntary. An Oxford House holds a charter from Oxford House, Inc. instead of state affiliate certification, which is why it is generally absent from state certified-home lists. Protection runs from the federal Fair Housing Act and Washington Fair Housing Law (Law Against Discrimination) (Revised Code of Washington Section 49.60.222).
