About Oxford House East White – East Hartford
Oxford House East White is a non-profit house located in East Hartford, CT. Oxford House East White helps individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse by providing a sober living environment. The Oxford House has a unique concept in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. Each sober living home is democratically run, self-supporting and drug-free home.
The Oxford House East White believes in three things: self-help is the bedrock of recovery, disciplined democracy is key to living together, and self-support builds efficacy in order to avoid relapse.
A group of six or more recovering individuals is granted the right to call themselves an Oxford House and to use the Oxford House system, which has three basic conditions – democratically self-run, self-supported and expulsion of any resident who returns to using.
An individual may come into an Oxford House following a 28-day rehabilitation program or at least a 5 to 10-day detoxification program.
