Oxford Treatment Center offers hope and healing for people facing both addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders. On a peaceful 100-acre campus surrounded by forest and lake, Oxford provides a complete continuum of care designed to meet clients wherever they are in their recovery journey. From the safety of on-site medical detox with 24/7 nursing, to the structure of residential treatment, and the flexibility of outpatient therapy, Oxford helps clients rebuild independence and gain momentum in recovery.

Experience Healing that Goes beyond Talk Therapy

Oxford Treatment Center combines the best of clinical expertise with experiential healing. Best practice therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) provide clients with tools to manage cravings, build resilience, and strengthen emotional health. These experiential approaches bring recovery to life—year-round equine therapy helps clients rebuild trust and confidence, while art, music, yoga, and mindfulness open new ways to process emotions and find peace.

Step Outside to Peace and Adventure

Oxford Treatment Center is a true retreat tucked away in the beauty of a national forest. Clients live in comfortable, apartment-style cabins with separate quarters for men and women, where house managers and everyday conveniences like WiFi, laundry, and inviting common rooms create a sense of ease. Just steps outside, a private lake brings the chance to swim, fish, or simply soak in the stillness, while a fully equipped gym, sports courts, and year-round equine therapy inspire energy. Oxford’s setting also invites deeper reflection through a peaceful labyrinth walk, challenging ropes course, and dedicated 12-Step path.

Transform New Routines into Lasting Change

Oxford’s aftercare makes the next chapter less overwhelming by surrounding people with support that feels real and ongoing. Instead of suddenly facing life’s pressures alone, aftercare offers a safety net of check-ins, community, and guidance to help keep recovery strong. Here, setbacks are met with support instead of shame.

It was an absolute treat spending my time at OTC and I got more help there than any other facility I've been at. Things that stood out was the knowledge and passion of the staff and my favorites were equine, 12 step groups, 12 step walks and ropes.

I say this place has been great and most definitely blew my expectations away from the equine therapy to the ropes course and 12 step walk as well as the disc golf and volleyball we played after groups in the evening. Recovery is my way of life now.
