HERE ARE 7 COMPELLING REASONS TO SUPPORT ADDICTION RECOVERY AT OXFORD HOUSE

Significant Impact of Your Gift: Your charitable contributions play a crucial role in supporting residents at Oxford House. Residents pay a modest rent that covers a portion of their housing costs, with your gifts covering the remaining amount—approximately $135 per month per resident.

Evidence-Based Approach: Oxford House follows an evidence-based model that provides individuals with addictions peer support in a safe and sober living environment. This approach fosters coping skills, builds positive support networks, and enhances self-efficacy, empowering residents to lead addiction-free lives.

Empowerment and Responsibility: Residents actively participate in the democratic, peer-run environment of Oxford House, promoting empowerment, self-esteem, and leadership skills. This peer support system encourages long-term sobriety and self-efficacy among residents.

Preventing Homelessness: By offering a stable living environment, Oxford House prevents individuals from returning to abusive situations and homelessness, filling a critical gap in addiction services.

Safe and Affordable Housing: Unlike expensive professional treatment options, Oxford House provides affordable, community-based housing tailored to diverse needs, including separate accommodations for men, women, and Indigenous individuals. This model supports long-term recovery and breaks the cycle of relapse.

Continued Support Without End Dates: Oxford House stands out as the only sober-living program without predefined end dates for its services. This aligns with chronic disease care principles, providing residents with the time, peer support, and structured environment essential for sustained behavioral change and increased abstinence outcomes.

Proven Success: Research demonstrates that Oxford House residents experience lower relapse rates, higher self-efficacy, and improved financial stability compared to those receiving standard aftercare. This proven success underscores the effectiveness of the Oxford House Program in supporting long-term recovery.
