Oxford House Bluffs is a sober living home for women and their children in Council Bluffs, Iowa, part of the Oxford House network of self-run, self-supported recovery homes. The house has 9 beds.
Oxford Houses are rented single-family homes run democratically by the residents.

Oxford Houses do not provide treatment, detox or counseling. Many residents move in after detox or a residential program, or while attending outpatient treatment or 12-step meetings.
