Oxford House Evelake is a self-run, self-supported recovery house for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. This facility accepts women only. Oxford Houses are a concept in recovery from drug and alcohol addiction. A representative of each House in the Chapter meets with the others on a monthly basis, to exchange information, to seek resolution of problems in a particular House, and to express that Chapter's vote on larger issues.
The women of Oxford House Evelake pay all the expenses related to the maintenance of the house. This house accommodates 7 residents. Oxford House Evelake is part of a nonprofit corporation umbrella organization which provides the network connecting all Oxford Houses and allocates resources to duplicate the Oxford House concept where needs arise.
