The Oxford House model has met the criteria to <br />be included in SAMSHA's (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services <br />Administration) National Registry of Evidenced-Based Programs and Practices <br />(NREPP), which is a significant recognition for individuals who have consistently <br />demonstrated the benefits of living in an Oxford House for over 49 years. This <br />recognition highlights the increased likelihood of achieving long-term sobriety for <br />those residing in an Oxford House. <br />Furthermore, the U.S. Surgeon General has identified Oxford House as a valuable tool <br />in addressing the serious issue of addiction in the country. Oxford House has a long- <br />standing history of collaboration with the Orange County community and <br />partnerships with NCDHHS, UNC, and Freedom House since 1991, saving thousands <br />of lives and restoring countless families. The approach of providing affordable and <br />effective care, including stable housing and support, is evident through the presence <br />of 25 houses with 210 beds in the county. Additionally, establishing the first Collegiate <br />Oxford House in 2016, which has now become a model adopted nationwide, has been <br />successfully maintained for over seven years. Due to this remarkable success, the <br />Oxford House Model™ was included in the Federal Registry of Evidence-based <br />Programs in 2011. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 9ADEFAD5-C106-45CE-909F-ED02DFA16A16
