Oxford Houses are democratic, mutual help-oriented recovery homes for individuals with substance abuse histories. There are more than 1200 of these houses in the United States, and each home is operated independently by its residents, without help from professional staff. In a recent experiment, 150 individuals in Illinois were randomly assigned to either an Oxford House or usual-care condition (i.e., outpatient treatment or self-help groups) after substance abuse treatment discharge. At the 24-month follow-up, those in the Oxford House condition compared with the usual-care condition had significantly lower substance use, significantly higher monthly income, and significantly lower incarceration rates.
牛津之家是为有药物滥用史的个人设立的民主、互助型康复之家。在美国，这类康复之家有1200多个，每个康复之家由其居民独立运营，无需专业工作人员的帮助。在最近的一项实验中，伊利诺伊州的150名个人在药物滥用治疗出院后被随机分配到牛津之家或常规护理组（即门诊治疗或自助小组）。在24个月的随访中，与常规护理组相比，牛津之家组的药物使用量显著更低，月收入显著更高，监禁率显著更低。
