Oxford House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1975 that provides self-run, self-supported recovery homes for individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction through the innovative Oxford House Model.
This evidence-based approach creates democratically governed, gender-specific residences where members live together in a 100% drug- and alcohol-free environment, sharing equal responsibilities for house operations, finances, and chores without external authority or time limits on stays.
Emphasizing recovery, responsibility, and replication, Oxford House fosters long-term sobriety, leadership skills, and self-efficacy, with studies showing over 80% of residents maintaining abstinence after one year.
Serving diverse populations including men, women with children, veterans, and those with co-occurring disorders across more than 3,500 houses in 47 states, the model integrates with AA/NA participation and supports community expansion through technical assistance, charters, and alumni involvement to ensure accessible, affordable sober living that treats the whole person and prevents relapse.

What we treat

Treatment & Programs

Levels of Care

The Oxford House model provides long-term sober living and ongoing aftercare support without arbitrary time limits. Rather than following a rigid step-down schedule, residents can stay as long as they need, provided they remain absolutely drug-free and complete their shared house chores.

Sober Living Aftercare Support

Therapies

Unlike traditional treatment facilities, this community does not provide clinical therapies or rely on outside counselors or house managers. Instead, members build their foundation through shared household responsibilities and active daily participation in local 12-step fellowships.

Addictions

Individuals recovering from profound alcohol or drug addiction find a highly structured, egalitarian environment here. Their peer-led framework enforces a zero-tolerance policy where any return to substance use results in immediate expulsion to protect the household's shared sobriety.

Alcohol Use Disorder

Conditions

While primarily focused on substance use disorder, the democratically run environment also supports individuals managing co-occurring mental health conditions. Research from DePaul University highlights that members managing dual diagnoses often thrive in this routine-oriented, peer-governed setting.

Substance Use Disorder

Issues

Many transitioning into this residence have faced severe consequences from their addiction, including housing insecurity, job loss, or criminal justice involvement. To counteract these challenges, residents actively cultivate a sober social network that prioritizes accountability, employment, and mutual community support.
