Hopeful
Way House The The
An Oxford
House is a self-run, self-supported recovery house concept and system of
operation for individuals recovering from alcoholism and drug addiction.
Oxford Houses assure an alcohol and drug-free living environment. Oxford Houses are democratically self-run
by the residents who elect officers to serve for terms of six months.
However, if a majority of residents believe that any member has relapsed into
using alcohol or drugs, that person is immediately expelled. There are no
resident counselors in an Oxford House.
Any recovering alcoholic or drug addict can apply to get into any
Oxford House by filling out an application and being interviewed by the
existing members of the House. The application is then considered by the
membership of the House and if there is a vacancy and if 80% of the members
approve, the applicant is accepted and moves in. Generally an individual comes into an
Oxford House following a 28-day rehabilitation program or at least 10-day
detoxification program. We will be
taking in residents who have successfully gone through detox
and rehabilitation. The minimum stay at the House will be three months, and
it will be only for those who we believe have a sincere desire to remain
clean or sober. Before being accepted into the House, an applicant must be
approved by 80% of the existing residents in the House and by Hopeful Way Foundation.
The current monthly charges will be GHC75.00 (about USD60.00), residents must
work at a paid or volunteer job and residents must take care of the household
tasks and chores at the house. No food or counseling will be provided by the
House but the residents and Hopeful Way Foundation will assist in organising AA and NA meetings, educational and cultural
activities and the growing of vegetables, including mushrooms and snails, on
the half acre plot. Thirty moringa trees are
bearing leaves and “drumsticks”. If residents are interested in acquiring
specific skills while in the House, the Foundation will try to help with this
where possible. |
