Oxford House - Flintridge

Oxford House Flintridge is a self-run recovery home for men in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with room for 8 residents. Like every Oxford House, it follows the charter's three rules: the household is run democratically by its residents, pays its own way, and immediately expels anyone who returns to using alcohol or drugs. There is no clinical staff and no time limit on how long someone can stay.

Residents split the real costs of running the house — rent, utilities, supplies — which keeps the weekly share affordable for people getting back to work in early recovery. Most arrive after detox or a residential program and use the house as a stable, alcohol- and drug-free base while rebuilding daily life in El Paso County. New residents are voted in by the current household after an interview.
