Stephen Center Unverified

Stephen Center supports the Omaha, Nebraska community with vital services, including food, clothing, shelter, and comprehensive addiction treatment. Their family-operated campus offers emergency shelter, sober living apartments, and residential and outpatient care for individuals struggling with **Substance Use Disorder (SUD)**. The center follows Omaha Housing Authority rules and uses National Institute of Food and Agriculture guidelines to determine low-income and homeless eligibility. Through its HERO Program, Stephen Center provides treatment for co-occurring mental health conditions, along with medication management and life-skills training. Their residential treatment lasts 30–45 days, beginning with a blackout period followed by family programming and personalized discharge planning.

The HERO intensive outpatient program lasts 6–10 weeks and encourages employment or volunteering, while a less intensive outpatient program lasts 4–6 weeks with the same requirement for sober, responsible living. The center also offers 90-day sober living and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) for longer needs, with background checks and income-based eligibility. In addition, their Pettigrew Emergency Shelter serves sober adults and children experiencing homelessness. Stephen Center also accepts pantry donations and provides beds, groceries, toiletries, medication, and other essentials to families in need, available for pickup on weekdays and weekends during designated hours.
