About Oxford House Hilson – Nashville
The Oxford House Hilson is a self-run and self-supported sober living home in Nashville, Tennessee. This sober environment is for men in recovery from substance use disorder. Residents generally join an Oxford House after attending a 28 day residential rehab program or a five to ten day detox program. All Oxford Houses are drug and alcohol free homes with no house manager or outside authority.
Oxford House members all pitch in to work on house responsibilities. All residents must be in recovery from addiction and each house must have at least six beds. House members vote on officers of the house who will each serve six month terms. Each resident pays an equal expense share which includes rent, utilities, and any other house expenses. Costs range between $125 to $250 per week. Houses generally have between six and 15 members.
Oxford Houses live by their nine traditions. These traditions suggest each person should be accountable and responsible. They are not affiliated with AA or NA but suggest that sobriety is strongest when you attend 12 step meetings.
One thing to note is you can stay as a member of the house as long as you like, as long as you’re paying your part of expenses and staying sober.
Oxford Houses are available all over the United States and you can charter your own Oxford House with friends in recovery.
