About Oxford House – Winchester
Tucked in the heart of Winchester, Virginia, Oxford House offers something refreshingly simple yet deeply impactful: stable and substance free housing for individuals working toward long-term recovery. The Oxford House is not a clinical treatment center but certified recovery residences where people come to live, support one another and stay sober together.
The Oxford House in Winchester has earned certification from the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services, which means they meet strict standards for safe and ethical housing environments.
Oxford Houses are gender-specific and completely self-run, which makes them different from most other sober living environments. And what sets this Oxford House apart is its Level One model. It’s entirely peer-supported with no paid staff and no top-down supervision. Residents democratically govern their house, manage their own finances and hold each other accountable. It’s an empowering model, especially for those who want structure but also need the freedom to grow and take ownership.
Another great part of the Oxford House is that there’s no limit on how long you can stay. Whether you need three months or three years, Oxford House gives you time to grow into your new life at your own pace. That’s huge when stability is the key to staying sober long term.
