Sober living costs and rent help in West Virginia

A sober living bed in West Virginia usually costs about $140 a week. Oxford Houses work differently: members divide the home's real costs between them rather than paying a fixed rent, so ask the house what its share comes to. By way of comparison, West Virginia's median gross rent is $872 monthly. Residents who cannot cover a share outright often go through state-funded routes such as WV Recovery Housing Program Phase 1 voucher and SSVF and HUD-VASH. West Virginia Office of Health Facility Licensure and Certification is the state agency that oversees this funding.

The Oxford House model and the resident interview

Oxford Houses are governed by their own residents, self-funding and abstinence-based by rule. New members are approved by a house vote, so a listed opening is a reason to call rather than a bed held in anyone's name.

Recovery residence standards and oversight in West Virginia

West Virginia has no licensing regime for recovery housing. Certification is voluntary and administered by West Virginia Alliance of Recovery Residences (WVARR), the NARR affiliate for the state. An Oxford House answers to Oxford House, Inc. rather than to a state certifying body, so it rarely appears on state registers. You can browse the certified residences in West Virginia. Fair housing protection comes from federal law and from West Virginia Fair Housing Law (West Virginia Code Section 5-11A-5).
