The Oxford House Abbeywood sober living home houses up to seven people at a time. This program is for those who are dedicated to a substance-free life and who want to be surrounded by others on the same path. House rules must be adhered to, and staying free of substances is mandatory. Those who have been in residential or inpatient settings, and those who are seeking a safe and structured home while undergoing outpatient treatment are welcome.
Group therapy involves treatment through the process of connecting in a group setting to discuss and work through mental, emotional, and physical issues. There are a number of different group therapy modalities, including support groups, experiential therapy, and psycho-education.
The 12-Step program is a common recovery model based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a plan for recovery based in a Higher Power. Middle steps include self-examination and making amends to those who’ve been hurt by the addiction. The later steps include continuing to take personal inventory while living a life of recovery and supporting others in doing the same.
Additional 12-Step groups include Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA), and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).
Aftercare programming is for individuals who have successfully completed a treatment program but who desire or need continual support once returning home. These programs often include alumni groups, group therapy, 12-Step meetings, SMART meetings, and individual therapy. The purpose is to provide a safe space to continue working on recovery.
