Oxford House is a self-run, self-supported recovery house concept and system of operation for individuals recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction. Oxford Houses assure an alcohol and drug-free living environment. The first Oxford House was started in Silver Spring, Maryland in 1975, and government sponsored studies by DePaul University have shown an outstanding success rate of over 70% of residents continuing sobriety after 5 years.
DO YOUR RESEARCH... WE HAVE ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE PROGRAMS EVER DEVISED.
Oxford Houses are democratically self-run by the residents who elect officers to serve for terms of six months. In this respect, they are similar to a college fraternity or sorority. However, if a majority of residents believe that any member has relapsed into using alcohol or drugs, that person is immediately expelled. There are no resident counselors in an Oxford House.
A recovering individual can live in an Oxford House for as long as he or she does not drink alcohol, does not use drugs, and pays an equal share of the house expenses. The average stay is about a year, but many residents stay three, four, or more years. There is no pressure on anyone in good standing to leave.
For folks not quite ready for Oxford House responsibility, or do not currently meet the criteria to be voted into the house, we have Tier 1 houses that can put a roof over someone's head, get them fed, and get them assistance and counseling needed to get them back on their feet.
