Recovery without Relapse is Possible Restoring Dignity & Saving Lives
Harmony House Recovery Society is modeled after the highly successful Oxford House Foundation of Canada and the USA which meets the unique needs of men and women in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction through safe, affordable housing and support.
Through the provision of a home and support offered by experienced staff, Oxford residents are empowered to take responsibility for their own recovery and make valuable contributions in their community.
Recovery without relapse is possible in an Oxford/ Harmony home. Each home forms its own family and is situated in a suburban neighborhood away from danger areas. People come from institutions, treatment and the streets to a safe place to live often for the first time.
Through staff support and peer support from other residents, people in recovery find understanding and hope while learning how to live with life’s challenges.

- They’ve learned life skills such as conflict resolution, listening, cooperation and assertiveness
- They are able to focus on self-care, recovery, have good social supports in place
- They’ve learned to become accountable and responsible
- They are healing family relationships and building new healthy relationships

HOW IT WORKS
In its simplest form, an Oxford/Harmony House is a shared residence where people in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction can live together and support each other in a drug and alcohol-free environment.
There is no house manager or outside authority. Oxford House members share the house responsibilities.
An Oxford House member can stay as long as they like, provided they stay drug and alcohol free, are not disruptive, and pay their share of house expenses. ilding new healthy relationships
