Heartland Family Service Transitional Living Women's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Heartland Family Service Transitional Living is a women's sober living home at 4847 Sahler Street in Omaha, Nebraska, in Douglas County. It houses women with children who have completed intensive inpatient treatment and are moving back into the community.

A Sober Living Home for Women and Children

Most recovery housing in Omaha has no place for a child, and a mother leaving treatment often faces a choice between a bed and her family. This house removes it. Children live with their mothers while the household keeps the daily structure and rules of sober living, which means recovery and parenting happen in the same place rather than in competition.

Getting Into This Omaha Recovery Home

Entry requires completion of an intensive inpatient program, so this is a step-down setting rather than a first stop. The program runs six to nine months. Fees are charged on a sliding scale based on income, which matters for a woman rebuilding earnings with dependents.

Sahler Street and Douglas County Recovery Housing

Sahler Street runs through northwest Omaha, residential and well inside the Metro bus network. Douglas County holds the state's deepest supply of schools, pediatric care, childcare and entry-level work, and a family living here can reach all of it. Omaha is the county seat and the largest city in Nebraska, which is why women from smaller communities across the eastern part of the state end up looking here for family recovery housing.

What to Ask This Nebraska Recovery Residence

Nebraska certifies no recovery residences, so the questions fall to the applicant. Worth asking: how many children a household can hold and at what ages, what the sliding scale actually works out to, how school enrollment is handled mid-year, and what the plan is for housing at the end of nine months. The Nebraska Division of Behavioral Health coordinates the state's system through six regional bodies, and Omaha sits in Region 6.
