Oxford House Golden Empire

Oxford House Golden Empire is a peer-run sober living home in Bakersfield, California supporting adults in recovery from substance use disorder.

As part of the Oxford House network this residence offers a self-run, drug and alcohol-free environment built around 12-Step participation, peer support and democratic self-governance.

Their approach centers on giving people in recovery a stable, substance-free community where accountability and shared responsibility fuel lasting sobriety.

Peer-Run Sober Living

Golden Empire follows the Oxford House model of self-supported, residential recovery housing rather than staff-managed treatment.

Residents share expenses equally, participate in house meetings, and help govern the home democratically.

Daily life here emphasizes abstinence, personal accountability and mutual support among housemates.

Residents take part in 12-Step programming and household responsibilities, while abstinence is strictly enforced with immediate expulsion for any alcohol or drug use.

This structure helps residents build the routines and community connections that support long-term recovery.

Community for Men in Recovery

This location is a gender-specific men's residence welcoming adults and young adults in recovery.

Alongside peer support residents have access to individual therapy, group work and educational programming.

Residents may stay as long as they remain substance-free, contribute to expenses and respect the community.
