Oxford House Foundation

Founded in 1995, Oxford House Foundation of Canada is a non-profit organization that provides self-run, peer-supported sober recovery homes for men and women who have a history of substance abuse and are homeless or at risk of homelessness. By providing a safe and stable environment where men and women can focus on their recovery, Oxford House supports individuals to develop the skills necessary for self-sufficiency and successful reintegration back into society. Oxford House has 30 recovery homes operating in Calgary and Edmonton.

When men and women in recovery come to Oxford House, they have already taken some important steps on their road to recovery.

They know it’s not going to be easy. They’re ready to work hard. They know they’ll get out what they put in. And when they take the next step to live in an Oxford Home, they know we’ll support them.

Why?

Because we’ve been there and know how important this step is. Recovery without relapse is possible in an Oxford home.

Each home forms its own family and is situated in a suburban neighbourhood away from danger areas.

The peer support of other residents in the house who have experienced many of the same difficulties is a benefit to our residents. They find understanding and hope while learning how to live with life’s challenges.
