Oxford House Golden Empire

About Oxford House Golden Empire – Bakersfield, California

Oxford House Golden Empire is a non-profit house located in Bakersfield, CA. Oxford House Golden Empire 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 philosophy behind Oxford House is three-fold: [1] self-help is the bedrock of recovery, [2] disciplined democracy is key to living together, and [3] self-support builds efficacy in sobriety comfortable enough to avoid relapse.

Oxford Houses are democratically self-run by the residents who elect officers to serve for terms of six months. In this respect, they are similar to a college fraternity, sorority, or a small New England town. Officers have fixed terms of office to avoid bossism or corruption of egalitarian democracy.

A recovering individual can live in an Oxford House for as long as he or she does not drink alcohol, does not use drugs, and pays an equal share of the house expenses. The average stay is about a year, but many residents stay three, four, or more years. There is no pressure on anyone in good standing to leave.
