Oxford House - Richmond Riverside

More about Oxford House - Richmond Riverside

A model of peer run recovery houses; men and women and women with children may apply to live in a completely sober Oxford house. Normally serves as a transitional home after a detox or a 28 day program.

As a non-profit organization, residents are only expected to contribute to their fair share of the running of the house expenses, and since there are generally between 8-15 people per home, these monthly payments are low enough to be affordable to anyone who can work while in recovery. Residents must only abide by the rules of the home, but if they ever use drugs or alcohol while a resident they are immediately expelled from the house. Residents may stay as long as they need to, although most stay about 1 year.
