In 2015, Project ECHO opened the first Oxford House in Calvert County, MD. Nearly 10 years later, this house is still in successful operation and there are more Oxford options in our area than ever before. For more information, visit Oxfordhouse.org or stop by Project ECHO to pick up an Oxford House application. Applications are kept secure and private and promptly delivered to the House President.
What is an Oxford House
Oxford Houses are self-run, self-supported sober houses for those seeking recovery from addiction. All decisions pertaining to an individual house are democratically made by the members of that house, so each house may have unique personalities. However, to maintain an Oxford charter, every house must follow three rules: be democratically run, expel members who use drugs and/or alcohol, and ensure each member pays their fair share of household expenses.
By visiting OxfordHouse.org you’ll find a complete explanation of this remarkable organization.
