Pre-Treatment Housing Program

As the demand grows from men and women serious about recovery and in need of safe shelter during the interim period before their treatment, we've seen a surge of contact from detox centres. To address this gap, the Pre-Treatment Housing Program has been designed specifically for those concerned about maintaining their sobriety between detox and the commencement of their treatment.

Indigenous Housing Program

Effectively treating addiction in Indigenous populations demands a holistic approach that incorporates their unique cultural and historical contexts. This includes blending mainstream and Indigenous treatment methods, fostering connection to spirituality and Indigenous heritage, and addressing key factors such as relationships, sober networks, self-esteem, stable housing, employment, and intergenerational trauma. It's crucial to acknowledge the disproportionate burden of trauma among Indigenous people, often linked to historical atrocities and their ongoing impacts.

WHAT RESIDENTS SAY

“At the time I entered my Oxford House home, I was virtually destitute and emotionally and mentally at my wits end.
Oxford provided me with very affordable housing in a safe environment with a built in support group in the form of housemates who are also recovering from their own addictions.
Because they are all recovering from similar situations they were able to understand where I was coming from and provide, along with my own recovery meetings, the support necessary to help me regain my self-respect and confidence to get back on my feet and move forward with my life.
There are no time limits on your stay in the houses as long as you follow the house rules. You can stay until you feel you are ready to take the next step and move out into your own home.”
“I am writing to you because it is important that you know how much I have appreciated your help along my extremely bumpy road. Your understanding, encouraging words and selfless acts of kindness-helped kick start my fresh start at a whole new recovery. Your dedication to helping people toward whom most people have long past given up hope is heartwarming.
This is the first time in recovery where I honestly believe that I need to commit to the ‘healing’ process and that I will no longer take abuse from others and myself.
At Oxford House, I am blessed with a beautiful home and a wonderful group of girls that are truly committed to sobriety. I am unbelievably grateful for the many gifts I have been so fortunate to receive.”
“I would like to thank the Oxford House Foundation for providing a safe haven for those who are in need at such a vulnerable time in life. When I was due to leave treatment, there was a sense of impending failure surrounding my recovery as I planned my return to the same chaotic environment, as it was when I left months prior. Thankfully, someone pointed me in the direction of your website to fill out an application, and shortly thereafter, I got a call to arrange all the particulars so I could essentially move upon my arrival in Calgary. In my two months at Oxford House, I’ve been able to get my recovery solidified with a supportive group of roommates who take their journey seriously, I’ve had the space and time I needed to get a solid recovery routine and support system, and I’ve been able to set the foundation for success at home and with my spouse.
There aren’t words to describe how truly grateful I am for the work you do, but what can be said is that I owe my recovery to the Oxford House Team, I will forever value my time as an Oxford resident.”
