Oxford House Ruth Park is a self-run, self-supported recovery house for recovering alcoholics and drug addicts. This house is open to women and children only. Every Oxford house represents an effective and low cost method of preventing relapse. 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 Ruth Park pay all the expenses related to the maintenance of the house. This house accommodates ten residents. Oxford House Ruth Park 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.
