Murphy's Field Club Men's Recovery Home

About this Recovery Home

Murphy's Field Club is a men's sober living home at 3519 Leavenworth Street in Omaha, Nebraska, in Douglas County. It is the third of Murphy's Turning Point's men's houses, sitting on one of the city's main east to west arteries.

A Sober Living Home on the Leavenworth Corridor

Leavenworth Street carries a bus route straight into downtown Omaha and west toward the medical district, which puts a resident here within a single ride of the courthouse, most outpatient providers and a large share of the city's service and warehouse employers. The Field Club neighborhood around it is residential and walkable. Of the operator's four addresses, this is the one closest to a direct commute in either direction.

Terms at This Men's Recovery Residence

Men 18 and over are eligible with 30 days of sobriety at interview. Minimum stay is 90 days. Registered sex offenders are not accepted. The fee is $105 weekly, identical to the operator's other homes.

Relapse Prevention Recovery Housing in Omaha

The operator frames its work as relapse prevention, and the entry bar reflects it. A man arriving here has already done the hardest part alone or in treatment. What the house adds is a stable address, housemates in the same position and a manager available every day of the week. Nothing clinical happens on site, so treatment, medication and meetings stay in a resident's own hands.

Comparing Douglas County Sober Houses

Nebraska publishes no certification for recovery residences, and no state list exists to compare houses against. Within this operator the choice is geographic. A man weighing Leavenworth Street against the North 31st Avenue or North 26th Street houses is really weighing which bus he will ride every morning, since the fee, the rules and the minimum stay do not change between them.
