Human Services, Inc. Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Human Services, Inc. is a sober living home at 419 West 25th Street in Alliance, Nebraska, the seat of Box Butte County. It is listed with the state's transitional living network and takes residents placed through Nebraska Probation.

A Recovery Home in the Western Panhandle

West 25th Street sits in the residential grid of Alliance, a rail town on the high plains of western Nebraska. The city is small enough to cross on foot, and it holds Box Butte General Hospital, a Western Nebraska Community College campus, the county courthouse and the BNSF operations that still supply much of the local employment. A resident can reach all of it without a car, which is rare in this part of the state.

Sober Living Where There Is Almost None

The Panhandle has very little recovery housing. Most counties out here have none at all, and the alternative for someone leaving treatment or custody is a bed three hundred miles east in Lincoln or Omaha. That distance costs a person their family, their job and often their children. A house in Alliance keeps recovery and a life in the same place.

Getting a Placement in This Box Butte County Recovery Residence

Referrals arrive through probation, parole, problem solving courts and corrections, generally with a voucher and a supervising officer attached. Anyone applying privately should ask about cost, capacity and current openings, and about how long the wait typically runs given how few beds exist regionally.

Nebraska Recovery Housing and State Oversight

Nebraska has no recovery residence certification, no registry and no NARR affiliate. No sober house in the state is certified and none can be criticized for the absence. Alliance falls in Region 1 of the six behavioral health regions the Nebraska Division of Behavioral Health uses to organize services, the largest and most thinly served of the six.
