About Oxford House:
An Oxford House is a democratically run, self-supporting home, aiding in the recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Each house is comprised of anywhere from 6-15 residents (women in women’s houses, men in men’s houses). These houses provide accountability and structure to the recovering addict/alcoholic.
Research shows that the likelihood of relapse is reduced by 80% when the addict lives in Oxford for at least a year following treatment. This is due in part to the structure outlined in the house rules, a weekly meeting requirement, peer accountability, cost effective rent aiding in self-suffiency, peer support, etc.
What is Oxford House World Convention:
This year Oxford House is celebrating 40 years of saving lives! Residents and alumni from all over the country (and 5 international countries) will get together to learn more about relapse prevention, being of service to other addicts/alcoholics, opening new houses, unity, etc. This is a great opportunity to be involved in Oxford past the state level, meet new people, and learn new information to pass on to other members in our chapter. To learn more about Oxford House and the World Convention, please visit our website.
I used for 8 years of my life; the years that were critical for my development and preparation for adult responsibilities. When I got sober, I had to completely change everything about myself. Being in Oxford taught me how to pay bills, how to manage my time, how to budget, how to reach out for help, basically everything I missed out on learning when I was in my addiction. Through Oxford (and a 12-step program) I have been able to make connections with some really incredible people, obtain a full-time job, be of service to other addicts and alcoholics, and lead a productive life. Oxford House is very near to my heart, as with all of our residents, and I would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to celebrate 40 years of Oxford this September in Washington, D.C.
All donations are tax deductible. Proceeds benefit travel and event costs for the eight members from Oxford House Chapter 6 and Chapter 7 attending the convention.
Thank you so much for your support!
