Oxford House - Maya
3514 East Park Lane, Bloomington, IN 47408
Oxford House, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that pioneered the Oxford House Model in 1975, providing community-based, supportive, and sober living environments for individuals recovering from substance use disorders.
Founded when residents of a closing halfway house in Montgomery County, Maryland, took over the property to create self-run, self-supported recovery homes, Oxford House emphasizes recovery, responsibility, and replication through democratically governed residences where members elect officers for six-month terms, share equal expenses, and maintain 100% drug and alcohol-free living by immediately expelling any member who relapses.
The model, recognized as an evidence-based practice by the National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices, supports long-term sobriety without time limits, fostering leadership, self-efficacy, and peer support while integrating active participation in Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous.
With over 3,500 houses across 47 states housing more than 24,000 residents at any time, including special populations such as women with children, veterans, and those with co-occurring mental health disorders, Oxford House, Inc. issues no-cost charters, provides technical assistance, and promotes expansion through chapters, associations, and field staff to help recovering individuals achieve and maintain sobriety, reduce incarceration, and improve employment outcomes.
What we treat
Treatment & Programs
Levels of Care
Oxford House - Maya offers time-tested sober living and aftercare support for individuals seeking a sustainable transition. Following an established model, residents can stay as long as they need, provided they maintain complete abstinence. The community operates as a step-down bridge, fostering lasting recovery without strict time limits.
Therapies
The organization operates on a strictly non-professional framework, meaning clinical therapies are not provided in the home. Instead, residents rely on mutual accountability and active participation in local Alcoholics Anonymous or Narcotics Anonymous groups. This peer-driven approach replaces formal clinical modalities with shared experience and daily democratic fellowship.
Addictions
The home provides a safe haven for individuals rebuilding their lives after alcohol and drug addiction. Recognizing that different individuals need different timelines, the environment is strictly tailored for those choosing a substance-free lifestyle. Any member who returns to active addiction is immediately expelled to protect the household.

By embracing active peer support, members manage the daily challenges of recovery within a stable household.

Programs
