Connecting Links on South 17th Street Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Connecting Links on South 17th Street is a sober living home at 740 South 17th Street in Lincoln, Nebraska, in Lancaster County. It is the second of two addresses the operator runs in the city, both listed with the state's probation transitional living network.

A Recovery Home Near Downtown Lincoln

South 17th Street sits at the northern edge of the Near South neighborhood, closer to downtown than the operator's other house. That places a resident within walking distance of the Lancaster County courthouse, state government offices and the downtown employers, and inside a short bus ride of the University of Nebraska campus. For someone whose supervision requires regular in-person reporting, walking distance removes a recurring point of failure.

Court Placement Into This Lancaster County Sober House

Referrals arrive through probation, parole and corrections with vouchers and case management attached. That route is how most residents come in, and it means a supervising officer is generally involved in the placement from the start. Anyone applying outside it should ask the operator about cost, capacity and current openings.

Two Houses in One Neighborhood

The operator's other address is on South 25th Street, a few blocks east in the same district. Because the two sit so close together, a change of household does not mean a change of bus route, employer or provider. That is a small advantage over a standalone sober house, and it matters most in the first months when everything else is unsettled.

Nebraska Recovery Housing Without a Certifying Body

Nebraska has no recovery residence certification, no registry and no NARR affiliate. Legislation for baseline standards has been introduced without passing. In that setting the questions do the work that a certificate would: what the fee covers, whether a manager is on site, how bedrooms are assigned, what follows a relapse, and whether medication for opioid use disorder is accepted.
