The Link Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

The Link is a recovery residence at 521 Lincoln Avenue in Norfolk, Nebraska, in Madison County. It is listed with the state's transitional living network and takes residents at both of the service tiers Nebraska Probation uses.

A Sober House on Lincoln Avenue

Lincoln Avenue runs through central Norfolk, near the commercial spine of the city and within a short distance of the regional hospital, Northeast Community College and the largest local employers. Norfolk is compact and there is effectively no public transit in this part of Nebraska, so a central address is what makes a job and an appointment reachable on foot.

Recovery Housing for the Northeast Quadrant

Norfolk is the largest city in Madison County, with the county seat at Madison to the south. It carries the region: the Norfolk Regional Center, the district courts, the community college and the hospital all sit here, and the farm communities around it hold none of them. Someone leaving treatment or custody in a small northeast Nebraska town typically finds this is the nearest address where work, appointments and a recovery meeting exist in the same place.

Two Levels of Support in One Recovery Home

Listing at both probation service tiers lets the house hold residents at different stages. When someone's supervision conditions ease partway through a stay, they can often keep the same bed rather than move, which in a region with this little housing can be the difference between staying in recovery and going back where they came from.

Nebraska Sober Living and the Absence of Certification

Nebraska certifies no recovery residences and keeps no registry, and there is no state affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences. Every sober house in Nebraska is uncertified for the same reason, so the absence says nothing about this one. Applications and questions go to the operator directly.
