About Oxford House
Based in Wilmington, North Carolina, this Oxford House is one of a few self-run, self-sufficient, nonprofit residential addiction treatment programs in the satte. These houses guarantee a sober and drug-free living space for all involved. This particular house is for men only.
The first Oxford House was founded in Silver Spring, Maryland in 1975. Since then, many like this one have sprung up as part of the umbrella network of Oxford Houses. They rely on mutual aid from organizations like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) and residents are expected to participate in these peer support groups as needed.
The Oxford House is self-run democratically by its residents who elect officers to serve for six months at a time, similar to in a sorority or fraternity. During their time here, residents in recovery can learn important life sills including budgeting and how to live ndependently. Residents are allowed to stay for as long as they’re sober and can pay their share of household expenses.
On average, most residents stay just over a year but some individuals choose to stay for several years at a time. As for admission, individuals need only fill out an application. If they’re shortlisted then members of the house will interview them. If 80% of the house is in agreement then the applicant will be accepted if there’s a vacancy.
Houses typically host around eight to 15 residents, who generally all tend to come in following the completion of a drug rehab or detox program or incarceration. There aren’t any resident counselors in Oxford Houses so individuals are expected to take part in an addiction treatment program in the local community while living at their house.
Other Forms of Payment
Self-pay involves paying for treatment out of your own pocket. You can use savings or credit, get a personal loan, or receive help from family and friends to fund your treatment. If you don't have insurance or your insurance plan doesn't cover a specific program, self-pay can help ensure you still get the care you need.
Addiction Treatments
Treatments
The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.
There are many types of drug rehab in North Carolina. To receive treatment for addiction, you can choose from many inpatient and outpatient programs. Often, participants start with detox and work through a full continuum of care that continues with ongoing support for long-term recovery.
Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.
Substance rehabs focus on helping individuals recover from substance abuse, including alcohol and drug addiction (both illegal and prescription drugs). They often include the opportunity to engage in both individual as well as group therapy.
