52nd Street House Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

The 52nd Street House is a recovery home in Omaha, Nebraska, in Douglas County, operated by Different Approach Sober Living as part of a nineteen-house portfolio across the city.

Working While Living in an Omaha Sober House

Employment is what most residents of Omaha recovery housing are organizing their week around, and Omaha supplies more of it than anywhere else in Nebraska. The city is the seat of Douglas County and the state's largest employment base, with warehousing, food processing, health care, hospitality and call center work all hiring at entry level and many of them hiring people with records. A resident in stable housing here has a realistic shot at a paycheck inside the first month.

Daily Rhythm in a Recovery Residence

The operator runs a staged progression through its houses, so expectations change as a resident moves forward. What stays constant is the shape of the day. People leave for work, come back to a household that notices whether they did, and handle their treatment, meetings and appointments through providers outside the house.

Getting a Bed in Douglas County Sober Living

The address is not published and placement runs through the operator, which matches applicants to a house by gender, stage and openings. Applications are submitted online and can be filed ahead of a discharge date, which matters when a treatment stay is ending on a fixed day.

Choosing Omaha Recovery Housing

Nebraska certifies no recovery residences and keeps no registry, so an applicant is working from what each operator will say on the phone. Before accepting a bed, establish the weekly fee, what it includes, how far the house is from the job in question, and what happens to a placement if a shift pattern conflicts with a house meeting.
