Founded in 1995, Oxford House Foundation of Canada is a non-profit organization that provides self-run, peer-supported sober recovery homes for men and women who have a history of substance abuse and are homeless or at risk of homelessness. By providing a safe and stable environment where men and women can focus on their recovery, Oxford House supports individuals to develop the skills necessary for self-sufficiency and successful reintegration back into society. Oxford House has 28 recovery homes operating in Calgary, Drumheller and Edmonton. When men and women in recovery come to Oxford House, they have already taken some important steps on their road to recovery. They’re ready to work hard. They know they’ll get out what they put in. And when they take the next step to live in an Oxford Home, they know we’ll support them. Because we’ve been there and know how important this step is. Recovery without relapse is possible in an Oxford home. Each home forms its own family and is situated in a suburban neighbourhood away from danger areas. The peer support of other residents in the house who have experienced many of the same difficulties is a benefit to our residents. They find understanding and hope while learning how to live with life’s challenges.

🌟💙 Supporting Long-Term Recovery: Oxford House Works! 💙🌟
Recovery is a journey that takes time, support, and the right environment. Many individuals face barriers to staying sober—especially when it comes to finding safe, stable housing that truly supports long-term recovery. That’s where Oxford House comes in. 👥🏡

Aww these two looking all Christmasy cute this morning! 🎄✨
At Oxford House, we like to say recovery is the ultimate gift — the kind that doesn’t need wrapping paper, never runs out of batteries, and somehow keeps giving long after the holidays are over. Our staff know this in their bones. It’s why they show up every day motivated, focused, and full of heart for the men and women fighting for a better life.
And honestly… yes, all our staff are also ridiculously adorable — but that’s just the icing on the cake. The real magic are the many individuals who find recovery we get to witness all year long. ❤️🎁
Here’s to the gift we want for everyone battling addiction. May it find its way to every doorstep this season.

Oxford House has 28 recovery homes operating in Calgary, Edmonton and Drumheller.
When men and women in recovery come to Oxford House, they have already taken some important steps on their road to recovery. They’re ready to work hard to maintain their recovery and take the necessary steps toward independent, financially sustainable and more fulfilling lives. And when they move into an Oxford Home, they know we’ll welcome and support them with information and resources within the recovery, and greater community.
Why?
Because we’ve been there and understand that acceptance, hope, honesty, personal accountability, goal setting, and gratitude are crucial to long-term recovery.
When asked why the program works, residents respond:
•They’ve learned life skills such as conflict resolution, listening, cooperation and assertiveness
•They are able to focus on self-care, recovery, have good social supports in place
•They’ve learned to become accountable and responsible
•They are healing family relationships and building new healthy relationships
•They feel safe, increased self worth/ confidence/ esteem. Each home forms its own family and is situated in a suburban neighbourhood away from danger areas.
The peer support of other residents in the house who have experienced many of the same difficulties is a benefit to our residents. They find understanding and hope while learning how to live with life’s challenges.
