I’m thinking of using my rental as a sober living house

Cameron Davis

Hi Everyone, I was wondering if anyone has experience with using your rental property as a halfway house for companies such as “oxford house”. I was talking with them and they pay fair market rent plus a significant premium $ on top of the monthly rent. It sounds like it could be a good idea. What’s your thoughts? Thanks

To the guy who stated “especially heroin those guys are as good as dead... and we deal with this in the hood all the time“ etc etc....

I work in the substance abuse and mental heath treatment field. I was compelled to create an account to chime in and say a few words. That stigmatic mindset and ignorant attitude is a huge part of the problem we have here in this country.

I lost my younger brother to a heroin fueled suicide. We come from a nice upper class chicago suburban family. You’re quick to judge until it’s on your doorstep, Which can happen at absolutely any time. YOU and YOUR loved ones, are not immune, my friend... and I truly hope you can open your eyes to this.

Sober living is a vital resource for people trying to recover. It offers structure and accountability that is MORE than difficult to adhere to when someone struggling to stay sober is left to their own devices in their old environment. All the while their BRAIN is recovering- which can scientifically take upwards of an entire year before it’s completely ‘healed.’ Shame on you.

To the OP- I may be a little late in response... but your idea to bring an oxford house to the community is wonderful. Are there risks and is it hard work? Absolutely. But nothing worth having or achieving is easy.
