How We Help

At Oxford House Saskatchewan, recovery is about more than having a safe place to live — it’s about building a strong foundation for a healthier, more independent future.

We provide supportive, substance-free housing where individuals in recovery can find stability, connection, and a sense of community. Through peer support, shared responsibility, and a structured living environment, residents are encouraged to work toward their personal goals while developing the skills and confidence needed to move forward.

Everyone’s recovery journey looks different. Our role is to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals can focus on their recovery, rebuild their lives, and create lasting positive change.

Peer-Led Recovery

Our homes operate on a peer-led model, meaning that each residence is democratically run by its members. This shared-responsibility structure promotes independence, mutual accountability, and connection — all essential for sustainable recovery.

Members uphold five key traditions:

  • Commitment to sobriety
  • Democratic decision-making
  • Shared financial responsibility
  • Peer-to-peer support
  • No fixed length of stay

This model empowers individuals to take control of their recovery journey while living alongside others who understand and support that path.

Life Skills Support

Recovery doesn’t stop at staying sober — it continues with regaining confidence, responsibility, and real-world skills. That’s why we support members in developing the day-to-day abilities that are essential for independent living.

Our Life Skills Program helps members:

  • Cook nutritious meals
  • Budget and manage expenses
  • Maintain a clean, safe home
  • Prepare for employment or return to school
  • Navigate transit, access healthcare, and secure ID

Every skill learned becomes part of a member’s personal toolkit for long-term success — and many are tracked through our outcomes dashboard to help us continually improve the support we provide.

Real Stories, Real Success

B

“I believe personal change requires effort and stepping outside of one's comfort zone is growth. I feel tremendous growth in my last year of freedom, I have had to change friends, places and activities in order to change my lifestyle.”

“The best part about living here is the safe and sober living space provided and the constant concern from the staff.”

C

“They stood beside me during my weakest days, offering compassion when I felt unworthy of it, and strength when I had none left.”

Why It Matters

The need is urgent. Demand for sober living housing continues to rise, and without support, many individuals relapse simply because they have nowhere safe to go. Oxford House bridges that gap — providing not just housing, but healing environments where people regain stability and self-worth.

Our impact is measured by more than statistics, but they matter too:

  • 96% average bed occupancy
  • 68% of members reintegrate into the community with stable housing or employment
  • Over 150 life skill milestones completed annually
