Oxford House - Endless Inspiration
3109 New Chapel Rd, Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Oxford House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1975 that pioneered a unique, evidence-based model of self-run, self-supported recovery residences for individuals recovering from substance use disorders.
Originating when residents of a closing halfway house in Silver Spring, Maryland, took over the property and established democratic governance to maintain sobriety, Oxford House has grown to over 3,500 houses across 47 states, housing more than 24,000 people annually and helping hundreds of thousands achieve long-term recovery.
The Oxford House Model emphasizes community-based, supportive, and sober living environments where members democratically elect officers, share equal expenses and responsibilities, and enforce a strict zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use, allowing residents to stay indefinitely as long as they remain sober, non-disruptive, and contribute financially.
This approach fosters responsibility, leadership, and self-efficacy, serving diverse populations including those with co-occurring mental health issues, veterans, women with children, and individuals from various backgrounds, with research from DePaul University showing sobriety rates up to 80% after one year—far surpassing traditional aftercare.
Guided by the principles of Recovery, Responsibility, and Replication, Oxford House, Inc. provides charters, technical assistance, and resources to expand this replicable model, ensuring accessible, affordable housing that empowers residents to rebuild lives, reduce recidivism, and reintegrate into society without external authority or time limits.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Oxford House - Endless Inspiration furnishes a highly structured yet fully independent sober living environment where residents are welcome to stay for as long as they need. Functioning as a vital bridge for aftercare support, this home relies entirely on a time-tested model of self-governance rather than external management. Residents simply must remain completely sober, contribute equally to house expenses, and avoid any disruptive behavior to maintain their residency.
Therapies
In absolute accordance with their guiding historic traditions, operations here remain forever non-professional and do not provide clinical therapies, counselors, or on-site medical staff. Instead, members are highly encouraged to actively participate in outside community support meetings or seek independent professional help if it reinforces their personal recovery.
Addictions
The peer-led model at this Jeffersonville residence is built specifically for individuals actively recovering from drug addiction and alcoholism. There is a strict, universally applied zero-tolerance policy enforced by the residents themselves: any member who returns to using drugs or drinking alcohol is immediately expelled. This uncompromising requirement creates a profoundly safe haven for those who are serious about long-term sobriety.
Conditions
Living at Oxford House - Endless Inspiration is focused entirely on overcoming substance use disorder through mutual accountability and structured routine. While the home does not provide clinical mental health treatment, it offers a stable, egalitarian environment where individuals with a shared history of addiction can rebuild their lives together. Residents understand that tackling this condition requires daily discipline, deep responsibility, and the unwavering support of peers who have faced similar struggles.
Issues
A core strength of the democratic model is its ability to help residents navigate the devastating ripple effects of addiction, including job loss, criminal justice issues, and extreme housing insecurity. By sharing a home with fellow recovering individuals, members instantly gain a strong, sober social network that directly combats the isolation that often leads to a relapse. This shared community empowers individuals to secure steady employment, manage their personal schedules, and reestablish a robust sense of self-reliance.
Programs
The peer-led recovery community model utilized here is not simply an ideology; it is a widely recognized, evidence-based model of care. Backed by decades of rigorous research from DePaul University, this completely abstinence-oriented approach boasts long-term recovery rates that consistently surpass traditional halfway houses. For individuals seeking an extended care step-down environment, the home's democratic system of elected officers fosters crucial leadership skills and intense personal responsibility.
On-site
Amenities
This shared residence blends seamlessly into its Jeffersonville, Indiana neighborhood, functioning as an ordinary single-family home rather than a specialized treatment center. Members share the household chores, common living areas, and the daily responsibilities of maintaining a clean, comfortable residential environment.
Coverage
Payment
Financial responsibility is a fundamental cornerstone of this self-sustaining philosophy, operating exclusively on a self-payment basis. Every resident pays an Equal Expense Share (EES), which divides the total cost of rent, utilities, and basic household staples perfectly evenly among all members.

Eligibility
Who We Serve
The broader recovery network serves a highly diverse population of adult men and women, though each specific house operates as strict gender-separate housing to maintain deep focus and group safety. The program provides a vital lifeline for individuals from wildly varying backgrounds—from veterans to parents to those navigating life after incarceration—who share a sincere desire to remain abstinent. To join the residence, prospective members must demonstrate their authentic commitment during an entry interview conducted and voted upon by the current housemates.
Additional Services
Beyond providing practical housing assistance, this self-supporting home is backed by a national network that offers technical assistance to ensure democratic operations run smoothly. The robust peer support found within their gender-separate housing is further strengthened by a vibrant alumni program. Former members who successfully transition to independent living frequently return as associate members, offering ongoing friendship, mentorship, and a vital example of long-term success.
