About Stephen Center

Stephen Center serves the Omaha, Nebraska community as resource for food, clothing, and shelter. This family-owned center offers residential and outpatient treatment for substance use disorders, sober living apartments, emergency shelter for the homeless, and donations.

They follow the Omaha Housing Authority’s rules for residents and use the National Institute of Food and Agriculture’s guidelines to determine whether individuals qualify as low-income or homeless.

HERO Program: Residential and Outpatient Treatment

Stephen Center’s HERO Program treats substance use for low-income and homeless adults 19+, along with treatment for co-occurring mental health issues. Stephen Center provides medication management and life skills training to establish healthy habits.

Their short-term residential program lasts 30-45 days. During the first 2 weeks, clients do a blackout period where only immediate family members can visit and they cannot make phone calls. Clients and family members participate in 4 weeks of family programming. The counselors and case managers review clients’ needs to plan the discharge.

Their intensive outpatient (IOP) treatment lasts 6-10 weeks. Within the first 2 weeks of IOP treatment, they require clients to find employment. In cases where clients can’t work, they find volunteer opportunities.

Their less intensive outpatient program lasts 4-6 weeks. They require clients to maintain their jobs or volunteer activities during treatment.

Their short-term sober living is 90 days. For longer stays, they offer their Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program.

Permanent Supportive Housing Apartments (PSH): Sober Living

Stephen Center’s Permanent Supporting Housing Apartments (PSH) is a sober living community with 1-4 bedroom apartments. They accept applications at 30% of the Omaha median income who provide information about their need. PSH runs a background check as part of their admission process.

Pettigrew Emergency Shelter: Long-Term Housing

Stephen Center’s Pettigrew Emergency Shelter for homeless adults and children admits sober residents without a home.
