Oxford House Burien is a self-run, self-supported recovery house for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. This facility accepts men only. 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.
Residents pay rent, utility and other household expenses of Oxford House Burien. This facility has a maximum capacity of nine residents. Oxford House Burien 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.
