What to know before calling an Oxford House

Oxford Houses are resident-governed homes, funded by an equal share from each resident and required to stay substance-free. New members are accepted by those already in the home, so calling the house is the only way to learn what is actually free.

Certification and oversight in Washington

There is no state licence for recovery residences in Washington. Washington Alliance for Quality Recovery Residences (WAQRR), the state's NARR affiliate, offers voluntary certification.
