Oxford House

Oxford House is a network of democratically operated, self-supporting recovery homes for individuals recovering from substance abuse. Each house functions independently but under shared principles emphasizing peer support, accountability, and responsibility. Residents typically share the costs and work together to maintain the environment, fostering a sense of community and mutual aid. The model promotes long-term sobriety by providing stable, drug-free living spaces where individuals can focus on their recovery while developing life skills and social stability. Oxford Houses are widely recognized for their effectiveness in supporting sobriety and reintegration into society.
