I'm a retired addictions counselor who has referred several patients to Oxford Houses over 20 years. I have nothing but positive reactions to the experiences those patients had. It's unfortunate there are so few facilities in the face of the need.

I was so happy to hear that some of the Oxford Houses do allow methadone maintenance patients into their homes.
The stigma of being a methadone patient is still very strong.
To have some houses MMF Methadone Maintenance Friendly is a wonderful step.
DDF Dual Diagnosis Friendly
Both of these designations are for free use. A pamphlet is available.

Hello, i want to piggy back on your commet. Given the recognition that addiction is a "brain disease( NIDA), it is essential to include Dual Dx clients in all faciities. Rarely does one have a addiction concern without mental health components as a counfounding variable and Visa Vera.

Frank. That is great. It has been a problem in the past such that some 12 step groups did not think the mental health issue was germaine to what they were doing. I tried to set up DDF Dual Diagnosis Friendly as a designation for those groups that were friendly to use. It was not acceptable at that time. |

I am a lisenced substance abuse counselor for drug and alcohol and have a mortgaged 6 bedroom home. Can I make a living running it as a Oxford House?
