They literally will let anyone in off the street as long as you have the money order for two weeks plus a deposit. And you will get just that. People with mental and personality disorders who don't take their meds, people who have nothing going on with their lives and are petty, jealous, gossips, bullies, people still using, etc. They form cliques and will target anyone they don't like and will go as far as to get you evicted, required to move out in 40 minutes. There is no corporate infrastructure and no one to contact who will contact you back. The rules are plentiful, ridiculous and no one follows them. You will get fined if the group doesn't like you. I'd give Oxford, Inc. zero stars if Yelp allowed it. As a former Oxford House resident (I left on my own accord), I was bullied, targeted, lied about and more all because I called out people's terrible behavior (gossiping, lying, breaking rules), and I stayed to myself and WORKED ON MYSELF. As a last resort, I emailed the CEO of Oxford, Kathleen Gibson, never heard back from her and told that I wouldn't because she doesn't have time to deal with house complaints. I got put on contract for writing her the email and fined $100 for 'disruptive behavior'. My private email to the CEO was read aloud at our house meeting and I was harassed. It was like a witch hunt. Our Outreach Coordinator was a lazy, rude, clueless lady who I suspect is racist. Did I mention, they let anyone in off the street who has two weeks rent and a $150 deposit. No criminal background check, they don't even ask for ID. The people at the houses I met, most of them are downright creepy. Houses are in decent neighborhoods and to be honest, I feel for the neighbors. I cannot believe I lasted almost a year. I'm still sober, doing well financially and back with my family, so things are great now, but leaving my Oxford House I was mentally and physically a wreck from all the unnecessary drama. I'm in recovery from my recovery house lol. I would never recommend anyone choose Oxford House. Go to a good rehab, or rent an apartment or a room and do outpatient, or IOP, and go to AA and NA meetings. You'd be way better off and way more safe. read more
