The 1212 House

About The 1212 House

The 1212 House is a sober living operator in Omaha, Nebraska, running two men's recovery homes in Douglas County. Established in 2001, it has housed more than three thousand men over the course of a quarter century in the same city.

An Omaha Sober Living Operator With Twenty-Five Years Behind It

Tenure is the strongest fact on this operator's record, and in Nebraska recovery housing it is rare. Sober living here is largely unregulated and turnover among operators is high, with houses opening and closing inside a couple of years. An organization that has run continuously since 2001, through several state funding cycles and a shifting policy environment, has been tested in a way a newer provider has not.

Two Men's Sober Houses in Omaha

The operator maintains two homes, both in Omaha and both for men. Street addresses are not published; the organization describes their locations by cross street, and placement runs through the operator. Both provide what it calls a three-quarter environment, offering structure and accountability to men continuing their recovery, and both are stated to be free of drugs, alcohol and violence.

State-Funded Recovery Housing Alongside Private Placement

The organization runs a separate voucher-only program called Programming Life 101 under the same umbrella, paid for by the state, designed to help men in recovery return to the community. It teaches financial management, career development and time management, and runs group counseling in which residents work through their addiction together. That gives the operator two distinct routes in, one publicly funded and one private.

Contacting This Douglas County Sober Living Operator

Applications and questions about openings go to the operator directly. Nebraska certifies no recovery residences, keeps no registry and has no affiliate of the National Alliance for Recovery Residences, so an operator's tenure, its published program and the number of people it has housed are among the few things a family can weigh.
