Oxford House Merritt is a self-run, self-supported recovery house for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. Oxford House Merritt is an all men sober house. Every Oxford house represents an effective and low cost method of preventing relapse. A representative of every House in the area meets with the others on a monthly basis, to share information, to seek resolution of problems in a particular House, and to express that Chapter's vote on larger issues.
The men of Oxford House Merritt pay all the expenses related to the maintenance of the house. This house accommodates eight residents. This recovery house is operated by Oxford House, a non-profit network headquartered in Silver Spring.
