Addressing the gap between detox and treatment

Embarking on the path to recovery can be daunting, especially during the waiting period before treatment begins. At Oxford House Foundation, we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Introducing our Pre-Treatment Recovery Housing Program! Designed to offer a safe and nurturing environment, this program provides up to six weeks of housing before you enter treatment. During your stay, you’ll have the chance to:

🔹 Join psycho-educational group sessions
🔹 Benefit from group recovery coaching
🔹 Learn essential life skills
🔹 Attend external recovery-focused meetings
🔹 Develop a personalized My Recovery Plan
🔹 Build positive social connections

Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition to treatment and continued support afterward. Post-treatment, you can apply for our Peer-Supported Transitional Recovery Housing to further hone your skills in a supportive community until you’re ready for independent living.

At Oxford House Foundation, we’re committed to providing unwavering support throughout your journey to sobriety. Discover the seamless path to recovery with us.

Yesterday was one of those days that reminds us just how special our Oxford House family really is.

We gathered with some of our Calgary staff and our newer Edmonton staff to celebrate two very special milestones: Dana’s birthday and Al’s retirement.

There’s something pretty wonderful about coming together to celebrate the people who make Oxford House what it is. There was laughter, good food, plenty of stories, and that feeling of being part of something bigger than ourselves.

Al, thank you for your service, your dedication, and all that you’ve contributed to Oxford House.

As you head into this next chapter, we wish you endless rounds of golf, beautiful weather, and absolutely no work emails! ⛳️😂 You’ve earned it!

And Dana, Happy Birthday! 🎉

May this next year bring you plenty of joy, laughter, adventure, and may all your dreams come true.

We are grateful for days like these and for the people who make this Oxford House family so special. ❤️

Here’s to celebrating each other—because life is better when we do it together! 🥰

“Just for today, my thoughts will be on my recovery, living and enjoying life without the use of drugs.”

Recovery is built one day at a time. We don't have to have all the answers for tomorrow or carry the weight of the future. We simply need to focus on today.

Today is an opportunity to choose healing, embrace gratitude, and discover the joy that comes from living free from addiction. Every healthy choice, every positive connection, and every moment of growth is a reminder that recovery is not just about abstaining—it's about creating a life worth celebrating.
No matter where you are on your journey, give yourself grace and stay present. Just for today, choose recovery. Tomorrow can wait.

One day at a time.

“To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone, and a funny bone.” – Reba McEntire

Recovery is built on all three.

A wishbone gives us hope—the belief that life can be better than it was yesterday. It reminds us to dream again, even when the road ahead feels uncertain.

A backbone gives us the courage to do the hard work of recovery. It helps us stay accountable, face our challenges, and keep moving forward one day at a time.

And a funny bone reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously. Laughter can be a powerful part of healing. It helps us find joy in the journey, connect with others, and remember that recovery is about living, not just surviving.

Hope. Courage. Laughter.

Three simple things that can carry us through even the toughest days in recovery.

In a world that often encourages us to compare ourselves to others, this powerful quote reminds us to focus on our own journey of growth and progress.

Each new day is a chance to learn, evolve, and become a better version of ourselves. Whether it's mastering a new skill, facing a fear, or showing more kindness to others, every step we take brings us closer to the 'you' you're proud to be.

Remember, it's not about perfection—it's about making progress. The true value lies in the journey.
So, let's commit to being kind to ourselves and aim to outdo the person we were yesterday. Small steps forward lead to incredible growth.

What’s something you’re working on to be better than the person you were yesterday? Share below! Let’s inspire and support one another on this beautiful journey of self-improvement.
