Oxford House - Pierce
1630 Regans Way, Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Oxford House, Inc., is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that oversees a nationwide network of over 3,500 self-run, self-supported recovery homes dedicated to providing community-based, supportive, and sober living environments for individuals recovering from substance use disorders.
Founded in 1975 in Silver Spring, Maryland, by residents who took over a closing halfway house, Oxford House embodies a time-tested, evidence-based model that promotes long-term sobriety through democratic self-governance, financial self-sufficiency, and a zero-tolerance policy for drug and alcohol use, with immediate expulsion for any relapse.
Residents, who share equal expenses and responsibilities without external management or time limits, benefit from an average stay of about a year or more, fostering leadership, responsibility, and active participation in AA/NA programs.
This approach, validated by extensive research from DePaul University and recognized by SAMHSA and the U.S.
Surgeon General, serves diverse populations including those with co-occurring mental health issues, veterans, women with children, and formerly incarcerated individuals, achieving unmatched outcomes in reducing substance use, criminal involvement, and improving employment and income stability while enabling replication to meet growing demand.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Oxford House - Pierce provides a vital stepping stone in the recovery journey by offering dedicated, democratic sober living housing. Rather than dictating a maximum length of stay, the home allows residents to utilize aftercare support for as long as they need without pressure to leave. This time-tested approach ensures that individuals in Jeffersonville have a stable environment to build a lasting foundation for their new lives.
Therapies
As a peer-run residence, the community does not provide formal clinical therapies or medical interventions on-site. Instead, members are strongly encouraged to actively participate in outside 12-Step meetings and utilize external professional support to maintain their health.
Addictions
The home is an entirely substance-free space for individuals specifically recovering from alcohol and drug addiction. Operating with a strict zero-tolerance policy, the community immediately expels any resident who returns to active substance use. This unwavering commitment to abstinence ensures the home remains a safe haven for everyone focused on securing their sobriety.
Conditions
Addressing the lifelong challenges of a substance use disorder requires more than just stopping the use of drugs; it commands a complete lifestyle shift. Residents work together to navigate the daily realities of this condition in a highly structured, peer-led setting. National research routinely demonstrates that individuals engaged in this communal model achieve unmatched success in maintaining long-term recovery.
Issues
Addiction frequently leaves individuals facing massive job loss, unemployment, and criminal justice issues that make rebuilding a life incredibly difficult. The community directly addresses the threat of homelessness and housing insecurity by providing a highly affordable, shared living arrangement. More importantly, residents naturally develop a built-in sober social network that helps them relearn daily responsibilities and find stable employment in the area.
Programs
Everything about the home operates under a peer-led, recovery community model guided by the nine historic Oxford House Traditions. This distinctly evidence-based approach removes formal authority figures and places the responsibility squarely on the members through a democratic voting process. Following this strictly abstinence-oriented path has proven highly effective in helping people reclaim their complete independence.
On-site
Amenities
Living spaces in the Jeffersonville house typically feature shared rooms designed to foster immediate fellowship. Having a roommate is a deliberate strategy the organization uses to combat the dangerous isolation that often accompanies early recovery. By sharing a modest living environment and dividing household chores, members build a genuine sense of accountability and mutual respect.
Coverage
Payment
Financial responsibility is a cornerstone of the model here, with all residents engaging solely in self-payment to fund the house. Every member pays an Equal Expense Share (EES) that equally covers their portion of the total rent, utilities, and basic household staples. This egalitarian approach keeps living costs highly affordable while teaching vital financial accountability.
Please contact the facility directly to verify insurance coverage and payment options. Many facilities offer free insurance verification.

The broader recovery network proudly serves diverse populations across Indiana, ensuring veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, and Latinos all have access to a safe environment.

Residents come from all walks of life, united entirely by their shared commitment to long-term sobriety.
Populations Served
Additional Services
Beyond immediate housing assistance, Oxford House - Pierce relies entirely on an evidence-based system of peer support rather than outside managers.

Upon leaving in good standing, former residents are warmly encouraged to join a nationwide alumni program to continue sharing their experience with newcomers.
