Oxford House 8th Street in Wilmington, Delaware

About Oxford House 8th Street

Oxford House 8th Street is a women’s sober living home in Wilmington, Delaware designed as a peer run recovery residence for people seeking a stable, alcohol free and drug free environment after detox or rehab. It offers shared housing for up to eight residents and follows the Oxford House model of democratic self management.

A Safe Place for Women in Recovery

Oxford House 8th Street provides residential sober living rather than clinical addiction treatment. It’s a shared home where women in recovery live together, split expenses, and maintain a substance free lifestyle. Note that there are no on site therapies or structured treatment programs, so it’s more about having a home that supports your sustained sobriety and gives you the support of peers.

Self Operated by You and Your Peers

Residents here are required to remain abstinent from alcohol and drugs, with any use resulting in immediate expulsion. The home is self-run, with residents electing house officers and sharing responsibilities like chores and financial obligations, rather than having a house manager like many sober living homes.

There is no maximum length of stay as long as members follow the rules, so you don’t have to rush in getting back on your feet.

The home is located on West 8th Street in the Walnuts neighborhood. It’s near the Eighth Street Park Historic District and Tilton Park, with access to local transit and typical urban amenities.
