一个最大的例子，以社区为基础，互助住宅社区的高风险药物滥用个人是牛津之家。在美国，有超过9,800人住在这些自营住宅里，他们在那里获得工作，支付水电费，并学习成为负责任的公民。从1970年代中期的一个单一的出租住宅开始，牛津房屋现在的数量超过1.300。这些出租房屋通过提供不受逗留时间限制的稳定住房、就业机会网络和对禁欲的支持，帮助人们应对吸毒成瘾和重返社区。对这些独特环境的研究探索突出了这种以社区为基础的方法来解决成瘾问题的优势。心理学家在这些类型的支持系统的工作中的新角色被确定。
One of the largest examples of a community-based, mutual-help residential community for high-risk substance abuse individuals is Oxford House. In the United States, over 9,800 people live in these self-run dwellings where they obtain jobs, pay utility bills, and learn to be responsible citizens. Beginning with 1 single rented residence in the mid-1970s, Oxford Houses now number over 1.300. These rented homes are helping people to deal with drug addiction and community reentry by providing stable housing without any limits on length of stay, a network of job opportunities, and support for abstinence. An exploration of the research on these unique settings highlights the strengths of such a community-based approach to addressing addiction. New roles for psychologists in working with these types of support systems are identified.
