About Michael House

Michael House is a sober living operator working in Omaha and Lincoln, Nebraska, running small-group recovery housing across Douglas and Lancaster counties. The organization takes people on Nebraska Probation, problem solving court and post release supervision, and it accepts probation vouchers.

A Two-City Nebraska Sober Living Operator

Few Nebraska operators work in both of the state's large cities. This one runs a transitional living facility open to men and women, alongside separate three-quarter sober living homes for men in each city. A resident whose court obligation, employer or family is in one city and whose treatment history is in the other is not forced to choose, and a transfer between them is a conversation with people who already know the case.

Homes Run by This Recovery Housing Provider

The operator's addresses cover both metro areas:

• The Omaha facility, on Maple Street in Omaha, open to men and women.
• A men's three-quarter sober living home in Lincoln, near the 27th Street corridor.

Maple Street sits in the Benson district of northwest Omaha; the Lincoln house sits in the older residential blocks north of the downtown core.

Court-Connected Recovery Homes

Working with probation, problem solving courts and post release supervision shapes what the houses do. Random drug testing, live-in house managers, daily goal setting and weekly group therapy all serve a resident who has reporting requirements attached to his housing. Nebraska has no certifying body for recovery residences, and being an approved vendor on the state's probation transitional living portal is one of the few external checks that exists in this state.

Employment as the Core of the Sober Living Program

The stated aim is sobriety and financial independence together. Residents get job placement assistance, resume building, interview preparation and referrals for free work clothing, alongside transportation help, peer support and access to medical, dental and mental health care. Life skills courses and daily motivation meetings run Monday through Friday. Applications and questions about openings go through the operator directly.
