About Oxford House Holiday House

Oxford House Holiday House in Leavenworth, Kansas provides transitional housing for adults recovering from substance use disorders. Operated under the Oxford House model, residents benefit from broader peer support networks and community integration. 

This home-style setting helps individuals build a foundation for long-term recovery through accountability, autonomy and mutual support.

Peer Governance

Oxford House serves people leaving treatment, incarceration or other structured settings, with no fixed length of stay so long as residents uphold house rules and active participation. Strong peer governance, shared responsibilities, and strict no alcohol or drug policy reinforce structure and accountability.

Residents participate in daily routines including household chores, resident meetings where democratic voting shapes house operations, and community support through external meetings or recovery groups. 

Family involvement is informal, typically through outside support networks. Life skills, such as budgeting, responsibility sharing and managing relationships, develop naturally through the shared-living environment. 

Empowering Atmosphere

Former residents often highlight the empowering atmosphere and tight-knit sense of community as key to maintaining their sobriety long-term.

Since no formal treatment is offered, there is no insurance billing. Funding is entirely resident-supported, and the cost depends on the number of residents and overall house expenses.
