Overall the percentage of veterans in 2015 and 2017 was identical as was the percentage of those employed. Average earnings increased by $69 a month. The educational attainment level dropped from 12.9 years to 12.3 years. The overall NC Oxford House average age dropped from 44.4 years to 40.1 years. The alcohol-only addiction dropped from 47% to 41.3%. Also, 77 of the residents [6.5%] are currently attending college classes.

US Census data shows that NC is 71% White and 22.2% Black and 1.6% Native American. In both 2015 and 2017 the Oxford House survey shows that the racial diversity of NC Oxford House residents closely reflects overall racial diversity within the state. There is little difference between the 2015 and 2017 survey racial data.
With respect to marital status, the “never married” category is slightly higher in 2017 than in 2015, which probably reflects the fact that the NC Oxford House population has become a little younger. Both the “married”
and “widowed” categories increased slightly.

One of the key questions in the survey is designed to determine where a person was living just prior to moving into an Oxford House. As shown below, a sizable percentage [43%] of the residents in the survey had been living
in a marginal housing situation [virtually alone or in a dependent living situation] prior to admission to an Oxford House. It is safe to assume that but for Oxford House they would have returned to such marginal living
and probably returned to using alcohol or illicit drugs.

Demand for NC Oxford House beds continues to be high, however, about one in four residents are asked to leave because of relapse. This is higher than desired but, in almost all instances, it happens during the first two
months of residing in an Oxford House. The longer an individual stays in an Oxford House, the greater the changes of achieving lasting recovery without relapse.

OXFORD HOUSE™ AND NORTH CAROLINA
OVERVIEW
Oxford House has had a contractual working relationship with North Carolina since 1990. North Carolina was one of the first states to take advantage of the recovery home provision of the federal 1988 Anti-Drug Abuse Act [42 USC 300x-25]. This state action has produced a network of 244 Oxford Houses in North Carolina with over 1,887 beds for recovering alcoholics, drug addicts and those with co-occurring mental illness. The Oxford House program enables House residents to gain the time, peer support and discipline they need to change behavior sufficiently to avoid returning to addiction.
This report takes a comprehensive look at the Oxford House program and how it works, reviews the characteristics of Oxford House residents, highlights special programs and concludes with a discussion of the program’s prospects in North Carolina and the challenges it faces.
THE OXFORD HOUSE ‘BLUEPRINT FOR SUCCESS’
The “Oxford House Blueprint for Success” pictured below enumerates values and characteristics that are recognized as essential for Oxford Houses.
The Blueprint for Success was embossed on the tote bag that contained the handouts at the 2016 annual Oxford House World Convention. It immediately caught the attention of one of the
4
keynote speakers at the convention, Westley H. Clark, M.D., the retired Director of the federal Center on Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT). In his keynote address to the convention, Dr. Clark said:
It amazes me that Oxford House is not promoted by more states. The promise of the Oxford House system of recovery proves that all is not lost. Thousands are carving fortune out of misfortune. Oxford House is not just a place to live. It is a place to re-invent life. It is a total addiction recovery system for achieving a comfortable, productive life. It embodies the blueprint for success in recovery and life in general.1
More than a thousand residents and alumni of Oxford Houses throughout the country attended the national convention in Washington, DC in September 2017. North Carolina Oxford House residents were well represented at the convention. The picture below shows some of the men and women from North Carolina in attendance. Each were there as part of their personal gratitude for having had the opportunity to live in one of the 244 North Carolina Oxford Houses.
This report is dedicated to the current residents, past residents and those who will follow in their footsteps.

The annual National Oxford House Convention each Fall lasts four days and includes presentations at General Sessions by national experts in addiction and recovery. It also has a special session for women in Oxford House and 25 breakout panels to examine addiction and recovery in depth. The residents and alumni of North Carolina also hold a State Convention in Raleigh in May each year. That convention follows the basic format of the national convention and attracted more than 250 residents and alumni in 2017.

HOW THE OXFORD HOUSE PROGRAM WORKS
Oxford House is forty-two years old. From its beginning, Oxford House has [1] kept its focus on recovery from alcoholism, drug addiction and co-occurring mental illness; [2] emphasized self-determination and self-governance, and [3] relied on expansion to avoid arbitrary time limits on residency while meeting the need for recovery beds.
Focus on Recovery
The focus on recovery starts with the charter conditions applied to each individual Oxford House. Each house must meet the following conditions:
1. The House must be democratically self-run following the process and proceduresof the Oxford House Manual©,
2. The House must be financially self-supporting, and3. The residents must expel any resident who returns to using alcohol or illicit drugs.
From the level of the individual house to the nonprofit national umbrella organization, Oxford House avoids ownership of real property or accumulation of wealth – a policy that began forty years ago. When the first Oxford House started in 1975, a then well-known therapeutic community – Synanon – was falling apart because of fights among members over money and wealth accumulation. All Oxford Houses are rented by the individual Oxford House group, which also takes responsibility for paying the rent and managing the house. To enable the organization to succeed, Oxford House has relied upon a disciplined, effective system of operations primarily run and financially supported by recovering residents themselves.
The charter underscores the focus on recovery by requiring immediate expulsion of any resident returning to the use of alcohol or illicit drugs. Organization of individual houses into mutually supportive chapters, workshops and continuing education about the nature of addiction and the best practices for assuring recovery are hallmarks of Oxford House’s 42-year history. Both within the individual Oxford House and throughout the entire organization, recovery is the focus.
Self-Governance
Emphasizes on self-governance is important because it enables each individual to develop behavior change that enables sobriety comfortable enough to assure long-term recovery without relapse. Each individual has an equal voice and responsibility for running the household and paying the bills. As the residents exercise their rights and responsibilities within the house self-confidence in sobriety is enhanced. Because there is no manager or authority figure in an Oxford House, the residents elect officers from among the residents and impose term limits. An Oxford House resident’s sobriety is dependent on his or her own behavior as a house member, not by relying on an institutional authority figure.
Each house has five elected officers: President, Secretary, Treasurer, Comptroller and Chore Coordinator. The officers are term-limited to six months in a particular office. As a result, residents will serve in one or more offices during residency. Each officer has specific duties and must report to the entire house membership at the weekly house meeting. House officers are elected by their housemates and are accountable to them. This egalitarian nature of Oxford House membership avoids the typical “we versus them” problem that can often arise in an institutional setting For example, in a traditional halfway house or managed recovery home, the residents often bond together by way of their resentment of the authority exercised by the manager of the house. Such negative bonding diverts a resident

from focusing on recovery and the healing or positive steps necessary for developing new behavior that discourages a return to addictive use.
Responsible behavior and uninterrupted sobriety is habit-forming. However, since each individual is unique, it takes individuals different lengths of time for to develop the sobriety and responsible behavior that is comfortable enough to last and to avoid relapse. Forty-two years ago, the men living in the traditional halfway house that became the first Oxford House observed that the arbitrary time limit of six months residency did not work. In one three month period, eleven men had been required to leave because their six-month time limit was up. Ten of the eleven returned to drinking and using drugs within thirty days. Based upon their observation and self-interest, the first thing the founders of Oxford House did was to eliminate the residency time limit. They were able to do so because renting an additional house to start another Oxford House was not cost prohibitive.
Expansion
There are two components necessary for effective expansion of Oxford Houses – the availability of small start-up loans and the availability of technical assistance to teach new residents the time-tested system of operations. North Carolina has become a model for effective and efficient expansion of the statewide Oxford House network of houses. It has developed some targeted methods for expanding the network of houses that go beyond the normal methods of expansion. For example, the Wake County ABC Board provides a grant to enable OHI to develop new houses to accommodate women and women with children. The behavioral health companies, Trillium Health Resources and Alliance Behavioral Healthcare, have specific grants for development of new houses and maintenance of existing houses in areas of the state they serve. The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services Division of MH/DD/SA Services has used the federal block grant and recent federal CURES Act funding to support expansion of the largenetwork of NC Oxford Houses and to reach all parts of the state. Moreover, grant money has enabled houses to be developed in conjunction with state colleges and universities and support a very successful program to house recovering individuals re-entering society from incarceration. Many other states are looking to the successes in North Carolina as a model for their own efforts to combat alcoholism, drug addiction and co-occurring mental illness.
THE NORTH CAROLINA OXFORD HOUSES AND THEIR RESIDENTS
In North Carolina, after 27 years of development, there are 26 mutually supportive chapters made up of 6 to 12 houses each. Officers from each of the houses get together in a chapter meeting once a month to learn from each other and share the experiences of their various houses. They also monitor each other to assure that each house is following the time-tested procedures of the Oxford House Manual© and meeting the conditions of their charter. The chapter officers also take part in the State Association that ties all the houses together within the state. Each spring the State Association sponsors a state convention in Raleigh.
Last May, more than 250 residents and alumni participated in the three-day state convention. Patterned after the annual Oxford House World Convention, the State Convention uses general sessions and breakout panels to bring all the attendees up-to-date about the latest finding concerning addiction and recovery. Convention participants are able to learn more about addiction and recovery and built additional social networks among those in recovery from other parts of the state and with different

backgrounds. Also, the socialization – from a golf tournament to a banquet – builds on self-confidence and the value of sobriety. Sober behavior becomes habit-forming and fosters long-term recovery.
Addiction of Residents and Overdose Education
This survey of residents in NC Oxford Houses shows 41.3% of the residents in NC are primarily alcoholics. However, 59.7% are addicted to both alcohol and other drugs, including opioids such as heroin. Addiction and the behavior change leading to long-term recovery provide a common bond among all Oxford House residents. However, education about both alcoholism and other drug addiction is essential for development of comfortable sobriety. Relapses by alcoholics are relatively easy to detect. Relapses into other drug use are often more difficult to detect.
At the most recent state and national conventions, particular emphasis was placed on learning about opioid addiction such as heroin overdoses and how to utilize naloxone in the event of any opioid overdose. Today, every Oxford House in the state has access to information of how to detect and provide emergency treatment for a heroin or other opioid overdose. Having such knowledge and access to naloxone can literally save a life in an emergency where an individual has overdosed on an opioid – usually heroin. Since all the residents in Oxford Houses are in recovery from addiction, they represent a population that can understand the consequences of a drug overdose. Likewise, they understand the need to administer an antidote correctly and promptly for it to be effective. One of the main presenters at both the state and national conventions was an expert in the use of naloxone and how to get it and administer it. It can make the difference between life and death.
Prior Residency and Support for Behavior Change Treatment of alcoholism, drug addiction and co-occurring mental illness always requires behavior change even if such treatment involves the use of medications. The admonition used by the various twelve-step programs that the addict must “change people, places and things” makes sense when it comes to development of behavior change. As Dr. Clark stated in his address to the recent national convention: “Oxford House is not just a place to live. It is also a way to gain whatever length of time an individual needs to become comfortable enough with new behavior to avoid a return to the old behavior of destructive addiction.” As long as a resident abstains from using alcohol or illicit drugs and pays an equal share of household expenses, he or she can live in an Oxford House forever. In the current survey, one individual has lived in an Oxford House since 1990 and another since 1991. While most individuals live in an Oxford House a little less than a year, the open-ended residency [dependent on sobriety and paying an equal share of household expenses] enables individuals to stay until they feel comfortable enough in their sobriety to move on.
Simply stated, each individual in recovery is unique and each takes a different length of time to master the behavior change needed to assure recovery without relapse. The absence of a time limit for living in the supportive environment of an Oxford House is important. It not only accommodates the reality that recovery is a process unique to each individual but it also gives each individual the confidence that eventually he or she will be able to live life without booze or illicit drugs. Having “old-timers” within the statewide network of houses confirms the open-

ended nature of Oxford House residency as well as adding to the stability of having some residents to pass along the Oxford House system of disciplined, democratic operation and financial self-support. This is particularly important when one considers the living situation each individual had prior to moving into an Oxford House.
Figure 1 below shows where North Carolina Oxford House residents lived just prior to moving into an Oxford House:
Figure 1
More than a third [43%] had marginal living conditions – homelessness, mental hospital, jail, VA hospital, halfway house or a rented room [514 out of 1192]. The others appear to have had more stable living environments – apartment, owned home or rented home – but even those living situations probably were fraught with the bad experiences and habits closely associated with addictive behavior. Oxford Houses provide a better place to live for anyone new in recovery and, even more importantly, Oxford Houses enable the necessary behavior change.
Oxford House provides the newcomer with an environment specifically designed to foster new behavior. Both the expectations and system of operations of each Oxford House provide practical tools to master whatever behavior change is needed. The expectations are that everyone in an Oxford House can learn how to stay clean and sober without relapse. The system of operations enables each resident to gain the confidence needed to live life without using alcohol or illicit drugs. As a result, most individuals who move into an Oxford House will stay clean and sober and become comfortable enough in sobriety to avoid recidivism. Socialization with others in the same boat strengthens the newcomer’s desire to become comfortable enough in recovery to avoid relapse. The self-run, self-supported concept at the heart of the Oxford House system of operation helps to build a new behavior.
The mechanics of democratically operating an Oxford House helps the individual resident to gain confidence and comfortableness in new behavior. He or she has equal participation and an equal vote at the weekly business meeting deciding issues affecting the household. He or she is likely to be elected to an office within the ruling structure of the house. He or she has to make a decision on acceptance of new members and expulsion of those who relapse. He or she shares in the joy of successful house management from the paying of bills to the resolution of personality conflicts with the house. All of this takes place within the context of becoming comfortable

enough with sobriety to avoid relapse. One academic study found that an Oxford House resident gains ‘self-efficacy in abstinence’ and ‘self-mastery’ – faster than those in a control group going to 12-step meetings but not living in an Oxford House.2 AA and NA meetings provide focus on recovery for an hour. Some refer to Oxford House as “AA/NA in a house - 24/7.” There is always someone around to talk to about whatever is bothering a newcomer or an old-timer. A well-functioning family is how most Oxford House groups are best characterized.
Racial Composition of NC Oxford House Residents Oxford House residents come from a cross-section of North Carolinians reflecting the egalitarian nature of addiction. The graph below shows the racial diversity of residents. Alcoholism and drug addiction are egalitarian diseases. Irrespective of race, education, economic status or any other criterion, a relatively equal percentage of those who use alcohol or other addictive drugs will become addicted. The same diversity exists among those who succeed at long-term recovery.
The figure at the left shows the racial composition of Oxford House residents in North Carolina. The 1,196 Oxford House residents were 68.9% White, 25.9% Black; 3.8% other and 1.4% Native American. The 2016 U. S. Census shows the overall racial make-up of all residents in North Carolina to be about 71% White, 1.6% Native American and 22% Black. The population of NC Oxford Houses has pretty much the same distribution as the population of the state.
Prior Incarceration of Residents and Focused Oxford House Outreach
Once addicted, an individual’s life and behavior tends to become chaotic. The chaos often leads to arrest, conviction and incarceration. Of the 1,196 NC Oxford House residents in the survey, 75.9% have done jail or prison time. The average length of total jail or prison time among NC Oxford House residents is 17.7 months with a median of 3.2 months. Usually, arrests and time in prison and jail reflect cycling in and out of trouble related to behavior associated with the individual’s addiction. The drop in median between the 2015 survey and the 2017 survey is significant [12 months versus 3.2 months] reflecting, in part, the drop in average jail or prison time from 22 months to 17.7 months. The difference may also be accounted for by the increase of available Oxford House beds within the state.
Drug court participants constituted 3.3% of the survey participants and those on parole constituted 4.3% of the participants [7.6% or 91 of total of 1,196 participants]. Both groups were successfully using Oxford House living to change their behavior.
Among NC survey participants, the average number of self-reported arrests was 3.5 times. As shown in Figure 1, more than 43% of the residents in North Carolina Oxford Houses came into an Oxford House from very marginal living situations – homelessness, rented room, jail or a halfway house. Among all residents, the average number of times in treatment was 4.4 with a

median of 3 times. Without Oxford House living, it is likely that the pattern of repeated treatment and/or incarceration would be continued.
Jail or prison time by Oxford House residents has been relatedly consistent over time. Figure 3 below shows data from surveys in 2006, 2008, 2015 and the current 2017 survey.

In an effort to reach more recovering individuals being released from incarceration, OHI has used some funding to directly reach out to individuals re-entering society. For example, 83 of the residents in this year’s survey had moved directly from jail or prison into an Oxford House. Kurtis Taylor [at right] heads up the OHI outreach project to reach the potential Oxford House applicant leaving jail or prison and there are two additional outreach workers involved in the project. Kurtis and his colleagues arrange an interview by the house residents before a prisoner’s release.
If accepted by a house, the applicant is met as he or she is leaving incarceration and given a ride directly to the house. While getting a ride directly to an Oxford House may seem minor, in reality, it permits the individual to avoid people, places and things that might encourage a prompt return to using alcohol and/or other drugs. Unfortunately, most periods of incarceration for the alcoholic and drug addict simply whet the appetite for resumption of addictive use as soon as one gets out of each period of incarceration. The direct ride to an Oxford House avoids this temptation.
The recovery re-entry program from prison to Oxford House began in July 2005. Between then and the end of FY 2017, 954 individuals have moved directly from incarceration into an Oxford House. This is more than half of the 1,798 individuals identified as potential candidates [53%].
Educational Attainment and Availability of Houses to Students in Recovery
Oxford House residents in the survey had an average of 12.3 years of education. Some of the residents, however, had only minimal education while others had gone much further in their education. Within the past year OHI has established Oxford Houses close to universities within the state. Specifically, two houses in Chapel Hill have been established close to the University of North Carolina and all the residents are full-time students. There are a total of 17 Oxford Houses in Chapel Hill – 9 for men and 8 for women. The concentration of houses in Chapel Hill provides support to the newer houses. The only difference between the student- that the university guarantees relocation to university housing in the event of expulsion from a student-designated Oxford House.

At the time of the 2017 survey, of the 1,196 North Carolina Oxford House residents, 77 were post secondary school students. As Oxford Houses continue to expand in the state, OHI outreach workers will let higher educational institutions in areas of expansion know about how Oxford Houses work and encourage students in recovery to consider Oxford House living. OHI will also continue to monitor the new Oxford Houses dedicated to students in Chapel Hill and Greensboro and let other institutions know of their progress and success.
Marital Status of Residents
Figure 4
Alcoholism, drug addiction and co-occurring mental illness take a big toll on individuals living together. Most Oxford House residents [55%] have never been married. Of those who had been married, 36% were either separated or divorced. Only 5% were still married. This is consistent with the profile of Oxford House residents nationally and with those in earlier years of Oxford House NC evaluations.
Prior treatment, incarceration and arrest histories were not significantly different among the individuals based on marital status. There is also no significant difference on marital status based on gender. It is also likely that untreated alcoholism, drug addiction and co-occurring mental illness are a significant reason that 36% of the residents fell within the ‘separated’ or ‘divorced’ category.
Employment and Earnings Among the 1,196 participants in the survey, 980 were employed [82%] and 216 [18%] were looking for work or on Social Security or other pensions. Their income, while less than for those working, is sufficient to pay their equal share of household expenses the same as those who are employed or who are looking for full-time employment.
The average income of all the residents of North Carolina Oxford Houses is $1,469 a month. The average income of those who are employed is $1,670 overall average income.
The total income of North Carolina Oxford House residents is over $26 million per year – a substantial addition to the economy of the state. Moreover, FICA taxes, because of Oxford House resident employment adds an additional $3,809,000 to the Social Security and Medicare programs.

The state – from all sources – spends about $1.2 million a year to develop and maintain the statewide network of Oxford Houses. On the other hand, the residents of the North Carolina Oxford Houses themselves pay landlords, utilities and other household expenses $12,265,500 a year.
The self-support feature of Oxford House helps the taxpayers by providing a low-cost opportunity for recovering individuals to stay clean and sober and helps the Oxford House residents by giving them an opportunity to take pride in the fact that they are paying their own way. As the graph illustrates. for every tax dollar expended, the residents themselves pay $10 to keep the North Carolina Network of Oxford Houses operating.
Veterans in Oxford House
While 11% of the residents in NC Oxford Houses are veterans, greater effort needs to be made by houses and chapters to reach out to Veterans Hospitals and rehabilitation facilities within the state to increase the number of veterans living in Oxford Houses. Experience has shown that veterans recovering from alcoholism, drug addiction and co-occurring mental illness do well in Oxford Houses. In 2006, the percentage of veterans in NC Oxford Houses was 15.6% and, in 2008, it was 18%. Greater effort needs to be made to reach out to veteran’s facilities in North Carolina. We know that vets in recovery do well in the Oxford House living environment and Oxford House wants to make the opportunity for Oxford House living available to more of them.
CONCLUSION
Going forward, Oxford House will continue to support the maintenance and development of the thriving network of Oxford Houses in North Carolina. The network is strong and the residents are committed to their own recovery and that of their fellow residents.
