The number of Oxford Houses, communal-living, mutual help settings for persons in recovery of alcohol and substance abuse, has spread across the United States and recently in and around Melbourne, Australia. In this study 55 US and 6 AU Houses were compared descriptively for their neighborhood characteristics. Across settings, there were greater similarities than significant differences in the locations. Results imply that Australian Oxford Houses are "safe and sober" settings for persons in recovery consistent with the original United States model in physical dwelling settings.
牛津之家是为戒酒和戒毒康复者提供集体生活、互助环境的场所,其数量已遍布美国,最近在澳大利亚墨尔本及其周边地区也有出现。在本研究中,对美国的55个牛津之家和澳大利亚的6个牛津之家的社区特征进行了描述性比较。在不同场所中,其位置的相似性大于显著差异。结果表明,澳大利亚的牛津之家在实际居住环境方面,是与美国原始模式一致的、适合康复者的“安全且清醒”的场所。
