Kearney's Village Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Kearney's Village is a sober living home at 709 2nd Avenue in Kearney, Nebraska, the seat of Buffalo County. It is an approved provider on the Nebraska Judicial Branch's transitional living network and takes residents placed through the state's probation system.

A Recovery Home on 2nd Avenue

2nd Avenue is Kearney's main north to south artery, running from the Interstate 80 interchange through the center of town. The address sits near the older commercial core, close to the courthouse, the hospital and the businesses along the corridor. Kearney is walkable at this scale, which matters in a part of Nebraska with no meaningful public transit.

Sober Living for South Central Nebraska

Kearney is a college town and a regional center, holding the University of Nebraska at Kearney, CHI Health Good Samaritan and the Buffalo County courthouse. It sits on Interstate 80 halfway between Omaha and the Colorado line, which makes it the natural stopping point for people from a wide stretch of south central Nebraska. Recovery housing across this region is thin, so a single house in Kearney serves a catchment that would carry a dozen in an eastern metro.

Court Placement Into This Buffalo County Recovery Residence

Referrals come through probation, parole, problem solving courts and corrections, generally with a voucher and a supervising officer already involved. Private applicants should contact the house directly to establish cost, capacity and current openings.

Recovery Housing in a State With No Certifying Body

Nebraska has no recovery residence certification, no registry and no licensure scheme, and no affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Every sober house in the state is uncertified for that reason and none can be judged for it. The state probation portal listing is the record that exists here. Kearney falls in Region 3 of the six behavioral health regions the Nebraska Division of Behavioral Health uses to organize services.
