Oxford Houses are rented family houses where groups of recovering individuals rent to live together in an environment supportive of recovery from addiction. Each house is self-run and self-supported following a standardized system of democratic operation.

Oxford House has three basic requirements for the group:

• it must be democratically self-run
• it must be financially self-supported, and
• it must expel any resident who returns to using alcohol or drugs

Individuals living in an Oxford House lean or relearn values, responsible behavior and slowly, but surely, develop long-term behavior to assure comfortable sobriety - forever. Some individuals live in Oxford Houses a few months, others for many years. Together, these individuals develop each Oxford House into a place to learn comfortable sobriety without relapse.

To get a client into an existing Oxford House call the house to find a vacancy or visit the web site at www.oxfordhouse.org. 

Currently, we have 3 houses in the Manassas area, and 2 houses in Sterling. Oxford House - Moseby Court in Manassas is being re-opened, and we are currently doing immediate interviews to fill that house. Oxford House - North Upton in Sterling is also doing immediate interviews to fill their vacancies.
