The Power of Peer Support

They provide a place for peers in recovery to live together and support one another to achieve a safer and healthier lifestyle. Their program prioritizes self determination, disciplined democracy and peer support among residents. Each element has proven to be a key component in avoiding relapse.

A Democratic Environment

What’s particularly unique about this facility is that individuals have free rein to stay at this home for as long as they need. Residency is contingent on clients’ commitment to remain drug and alcohol free, pay their share of living expenses and abide by house rules. This means you could remain a resident at Oxford House Gravois for a matter of months or a few years. The average length of stay is about a year.

All Oxford House residences are democratically self run. This means that household residents select officers from their peers who serve the household community. Every resident has an equal vote to ensure an egalitarian living arrangement that promotes recovery. Whoever is elected will serve for a term of six months before elections begin again.

Since the home strictly enforces its commitment to sober living any member caught breaking the rules will be immediately expelled, so it is essential to remember this before enrolling.

Proven Success

Another interesting fact about the Oxford House residences is that DePaul University studied the program across 25 years. They released their summary report,in 2016 showing that Oxford House’s sober living programs can be highly beneficial to lasting recovery.

Levels of Care

Sober Living Homes

Sober Living Houses (SLHs), aka sober homes or halfway houses, are safe, substance-free, supportive living facilities for those recovering from substance abuse. Ideal for those who've just been through inpatient or outpatient treatment, SLHs are supervised environments with rules that support sobriety, such as curfews, shared chores, and therapeutic meetings. Residents are also often trained on life skills and coping skills to make it easier to transition into society. SLHs also provide a strong sense of community that can lead to the kind of deep and lasting connections with other sober individuals that supports a new, healthy lifestyle.

12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

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.

Programs

Adult Program

Adult rehab programs include therapies tailored to each client's specific needs, goals, and recovery progress. They are tailored to the specific challenges adult clients may face, including family and work pressures and commitments. From inpatient and residential treatment to various levels of outpatient services, there are many options available. Some facilities also help adults work through co-occurring conditions, like anxiety, that can accompany addiction.
