Oxford House - Northaven
1710 Northaven Ct, Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Oxford House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that pioneered the Oxford House Model in 1975, providing self-run, self-supported recovery homes for individuals recovering from substance use disorders.
Founded when residents of a closing halfway house in Montgomery County, Maryland, took over the property and established democratic governance to ensure sobriety, Oxford House has expanded to over 3,500 houses across 47 states, housing more than 24,000 people at any time.
The model emphasizes community-based, supportive, sober living environments where residents elect officers for six-month terms, share equal expenses, and immediately expel anyone using drugs or alcohol, fostering long-term recovery without time limits on stays.
Rooted in principles of self-help, disciplined democracy, and self-support, Oxford Houses promote active participation in AA and NA, accommodate special populations like women with children and veterans, and have demonstrated evidence-based success through studies showing significantly lower relapse rates, reduced criminal involvement, and improved employment outcomes compared to usual care.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
The structured model at Oxford House - Northaven provides a unique approach to sober living and aftercare support. Residents govern themselves without an outside house manager or authority figure. As long as individuals remain completely abstinent and pay their share, they can stay indefinitely.
Therapies
As a non-clinical environment, this home does not provide formal medical or psychological therapies. Instead, residents rely on daily peer support and are strongly encouraged to actively participate in local AA or NA groups.
Addictions
This peer-led community supports individuals recovering from both alcohol and drug addiction. Members must commit to a completely substance-free lifestyle while living in the home. If a resident returns to using drugs or drinking, the rules require immediate expulsion to protect the group.
Conditions
At Oxford House - Northaven, the peer support structure directly benefits individuals overcoming a primary substance use disorder. The supportive environment also effectively accommodates residents with co-occurring mental illness. Research shows that individuals managing these moderate or severe mental health conditions function very well here.
Issues
The community helps residents rebuild their lives after facing homelessness, job loss, or criminal justice issues. Members develop a strong sober social network by living and working together. This shared daily responsibility helps individuals smoothly transition back into society and build lasting stability.
Programs
This abstinence-oriented program relies entirely on a peer-led recovery community model. House members hold weekly democratic meetings and elect peers to officer roles for strictly limited six-month terms. A longitudinal study by DePaul University praises this evidence-based approach for significantly lowering relapse rates.

Coverage
Payment
