My tutor was Tim Brown who I can’t find enough words… This course takes you on a journey which not only empowers you to be… Oxford House 24 Indian reservation had a population of 1,864 in 2011 living in 335 dwellings on a land area of 51.01 square km. Cree was selected as the mother tongue of 1,500 residents. In 2016, N’we Jinan travelled to Oxford House and made two music videos with indigenous youth living there, “When the Dust Settles” and “BoiDee”. The two videos received attention from outside the community for the insight they offer into the problems facing youth living on remote reserves. The songs are included on the N’We Jinan album, Silent War recorded in Vancouver in 2017.
In addition, a large nationwide 12-month longitudinal study found that length of stay in Oxford predicted social support, self-efficacy, and abstinence (Jason, Davis, Ferrari, & Anderson, 2007). Jason et al. reported a randomized study that compared Sober House residents with participants in usual after-care settings. At a two-year follow up, Oxford House residents had lower substance use (31% vs. 65%, respectively), higher monthly income ($989 vs. $440), and lower incarceration rates (3% vs. 9%). The Form-90 (Miller & Del Boca, 1994) obtained a continuous record of alcohol and drug consumption and intensity within a 90-day time span. This measure gathered information related to employment, health care utilization, incarceration, and alcohol and other drug use over a 90-day retrospective (a reliable time frame for abstinence assessment; Miller & Del Boca). Test-retest reliability was excellent for core variables, including total consumption (0.91 – 0.97), drinks per day (0.88 – 0.93), percent days abstinent (0.96 – 0.98), and percent heavy drinking days (0.92 – 0.97). Even though this study employed six-month assessment intervals, Form-90 captured substance usage and 12-step participation during the last 90 days of each six-month period.
What is Oxford House?
Oxford House participants were twice as likely to remain abstinent over the next 2 years and had significantly higher incomes and significantly lower incarceration rates. In recovery you need to change your people, places and things. The moment you begin using, your emotional growth stops. It begins again once you enter recovery at the place where you left off. You have to spend the time to catch up and may be behind those of similar age. So what’s normal for non-addicts may be new behavior for addicts.

The success of oxford house is well documented and has resulted in the inclusion of the Oxford House Model into the SAMSHA National Registry of Evidence Based Programs and Practices . The term Oxford House refers to any house operating under the “Oxford House Model”, a community-based approach to addiction recovery, which provides an independent, supportive, and sober living environment. Today there are nearly 3,000 Oxford Houses in the United States and other countries. Oxford Houses save money because the houses are rented, never purchased, to avoid tying up capital and to keep the rental property on local tax rolls. House residents democratically operate the houses themselves. Each resident has one vote to elect officers and to resolve issues facing the house.

I’ve just completed a CELTA course with Oxford TEFL Barcelona. The tutors were very helpful, experienced and knowledgeable. Everything is super organised and the whole course flowed smoothly without a glitch. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Oxford TEFL to anyone considering teacher training. Some communities oppose sharing their neighborhood with group homes like oxford house. For example, laws passed that make it illegal for more than five unrelated people to live in a house directly impact Oxford House. An Oxford House usually needs six to ten house members to make rent affordable. After the release of our outcome study, Dr. Jason was called by a lawyer who asked if we could help him with a dispute. The case involved a town trying to close down the local Oxford House, claiming that there could be no more than five unrelated individuals living in one home.
