Sober living homes that provide a supportive environment for individuals in recovery are known as what?

• A. Oxford houses
• B. Open meetings
• C. Paradoxical drug effect
• D. Pink cloud

Answer: (A)

Oxford Houses are sober living homes that offer a supportive, alcohol- and drug-free environment for people in recovery. They’re typically peer-run and democratically governed by the residents, with rules that emphasize ongoing abstinence, participation in house duties, paying rent, and often attending support meetings. This setup provides stability, accountability, and social support, which helps individuals transition from formal treatment to independent living and reduces the risk of relapse.

Open meetings refer to accessible gatherings like AA/NA meetings and are not housing. Paradoxical drug effect is a pharmacology term about unexpected drug responses. Pink cloud describes an early period of heightened euphoria in recovery.
