What Is the Average Cost of Sober Living Per Month?
According to Marr Inc., most sober living homes charge $450-$800 per month for shared rooms and $1,000-$2,500 for private rooms.
But the numbers jump around dramatically depending on where you live. In Baltimore, you're looking at around $700 for a shared room. In Los Angeles, that same shared room runs $800-$3,000+, with private rooms hitting $8,000+ per month.
Most homes fall somewhere in the middle. Gateway Restoration Center reports the national average sits around $1,000-$3,000 per month, with many four-bedroom homes charging about $900 per room according to Recovery First Treatment Center. Dorm-style arrangements can drop as low as $450.
Where you are makes all the difference. Austin runs about $800 for shared rooms. The Pasadena area in California pushes $1,000-$1,800 (Puente House). Nationally, The Recovery Village notes you'll find places anywhere from $500-$5,000+.
When you call, ask about their specific rates and what's included. That first conversation will give you the real picture.
