About Oxford House Emyla
Oxford House Emyla is a sober living residence in South Bend, Indiana offering peer supported recovery housing for women working to maintain sobriety from drugs and alcohol.
The home operates under the nationally recognized Oxford House model of self run and self supported, substance free communal living.
Recovery Housing and Peer Support
As a recovery residence rather than a clinical treatment facility, Oxford House Emyla provides a stable, drug and alcohol free environment where residents can focus on long term sobriety.
The process begins with a written application followed by an in person interview and vote by current residents, ensuring a peer screened community committed to recovery.
Residents share household responsibilities such as cleaning, cooking and contributing equally to expenses.
The structure emphasizes peer accountability, mutual support and personal responsibility allowing women to live alongside others in recovery with no fixed discharge date as long as they remain sober and engaged.
