Oxford House - Monet
6236 Monarch Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46815-7634
Oxford House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1975 that operates a network of over 3,500 self-run, self-supported, democratically governed sober living homes across the United States and internationally, providing a community-based, supportive environment for individuals in recovery from substance use disorders, including alcohol and drug addiction, with a focus on long-term sobriety without time limits.
The Oxford House Model, recognized as an evidence-based practice, emphasizes recovery, responsibility, and replication through its core principles: houses must be financially self-supporting, democratically operated with elected officers serving six-month terms, and 100% drug- and alcohol-free, with immediate expulsion for any relapse to protect the group's sobriety.
Members share equal expenses and household responsibilities, fostering leadership, self-efficacy, and mutual support, while active participation in programs like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous is encouraged for sustained recovery.
Targeting recovering alcoholics, drug addicts, veterans, women with children, and those with co-occurring mental health issues, Oxford House enables residents to live as long as needed—averaging about a year but often longer—while achieving high success rates, with studies showing over 80% maintaining sobriety post-residency, reduced criminal involvement, and improved employment outcomes compared to usual care.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Oxford House - Monet provides a stable sober living environment designed for individuals transitioning out of primary treatment. Members are welcome to stay as long as they maintain their sobriety, with many utilizing this aftercare support for a year or more.
Therapies
The community operates on a strictly non-clinical, peer-led recovery model rather than offering professional therapies. Residents rely entirely on mutual support and are strongly encouraged to actively participate in outside 12-Step meetings like Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
Addictions
The democratically run household actively supports individuals recovering from chronic alcohol and drug addiction. Because preserving the group's sobriety is the absolute top priority, the community maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy. Any member who returns to active substance use is immediately expelled to protect the safe environment for everyone else.
Conditions
While primarily focused on severe substance use disorders, the peer-led framework also welcomes individuals managing co-occurring mental illnesses. Research on the residential model shows that members taking prescribed medications for dual diagnoses thrive within the structured daily routine. The supportive peer environment helps members stay accountable to their overall psychiatric and physical health without relying on outside staff.
Issues
Coming from backgrounds that often include periods of housing insecurity or recent criminal justice issues, residents work together to rebuild responsible lives. Shared local living helps individuals overcome practical hurdles like sudden job loss while forging a vital sober social network. Democratic voting and mandatory daily chores foster essential leadership skills and personal accountability.
Programs
Oxford House - Monet is strictly guided by an evidence-based, abstinence-oriented recovery community model. There is no outside house manager or ultimate authority figures; instead, residents elect house officers every six months to keep the home running smoothly. This firmly egalitarian, peer-led approach is scientifically proven to reduce relapse rates and improve long-term outcomes.
On-site
Amenities
Situated in an ordinary single-family home, the residence features shared bedrooms to encourage socialization and prevent isolation among newer members. Equal expense shares cover basic staples, shared utilities, and standard conveniences like cable television. This traditional home setup ensures that residents learn to manage daily household responsibilities together as a collaborative team.
Coverage
Payment
Financial self-sufficiency is a major cornerstone of the model, meaning the home is entirely supported by its residents through self-payment. Every member pays a weekly Equal Expense Share (EES) that covers total rent, shared utilities, and basic household staples. This straightforward financial structure keeps daily living affordable without requiring outside insurance.
Please contact the facility directly to verify insurance coverage and payment options. Many facilities offer free insurance verification.

Every applicant must undergo a house interview and receive an 80 percent approval vote from current residents before moving in.
Additional Services
Support extends far beyond daily shared living through a robust peer support system and an active alumni program. Former members who leave in good standing frequently return as associate members to offer friendship and practical guidance to new applicants. The broader housing assistance network strictly utilizes gender-separate housing rules to keep members focused entirely on personal growth.
