For Families
You Want Him to Make It. So Do We.
If someone you love is in early recovery, you're carrying a lot. This page is for you — not a sales pitch, just honest answers to the questions families actually ask.
For Families
A Resource for Parents, Spouses, and Families
When a son, husband, or brother is leaving residential treatment, the question isn't just whether he's ready — it's whether the environment he's stepping into will support what he's worked so hard to build. That's where RCVRY HOUSE comes in.
We're not a treatment center. We're a structured sober living home in Omaha, Nebraska — a bridge between the intensity of inpatient or residential treatment and the independence of everyday life. This page explains what that means for your family.
A Week From the Outside
What Does a Typical Week Look Like?
Your son or husband won't be sitting around. The structure at RCVRY HOUSE is intentional — every day has a purpose, and the routine itself is part of the recovery.
Weekday mornings
He's up early. Participants attend their outpatient program (PHP or IOP) during the day — that's a requirement of living here, not optional.
Evenings
Shared meals, recovery meetings, gym time, and house activities. Curfew is 10 PM Sunday through Thursday.
Weekends
Community outings, volunteer service, recreation, and free time. Curfew is 11 PM Friday and Saturday.
Every Sunday
Mandatory house meeting. This is where accountability happens — goals are reviewed, concerns are raised, and the community checks in on each other.
Throughout the week
Random drug and alcohol testing. Not as punishment — as protection for everyone in the house, including him.
The Financial Reality
What Does It Cost, and How Do Families Help?
The monthly participation fee is $1,500. That covers furnished housing, basic food, recovery coaching, gym access, transportation support, and all structured activities — everything included.
RCVRY HOUSE does not accept insurance and is not a licensed clinical program. Contributions from family members are welcome and common. If cost is a barrier, talk to us — we want to find a way to make it work.
Furnished housing
A real home — not a facility. 2,406 sq ft in a quiet Omaha neighborhood.
Food provided
Meals and a stocked kitchen are included in the fee.
Recovery coaching
Certified Recovery Coaches work with participants on goals, accountability, and next steps.
Gym access
Six days per week. Physical health is part of the recovery.
Transportation support
Treatment rides are always included. Rides to work, meetings, and appointments are scheduled in advance.
All structured activities
House meetings, recovery meetings, outings, volunteer service — all included.
The Questions Families Actually Ask
Honest Answers to Hard Questions
Any use of alcohol or substances results in immediate removal from the house for a minimum of 72 hours. To be considered for readmission, he must complete a detox program. Readmission is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and is not guaranteed.
This policy is in place to protect every man in the community. We know that's hard to hear as a family member. If you have questions about what this means in practice, call us directly — we'll talk through it honestly.
Phone calls and texts are unrestricted. In-person visits are welcome and must be arranged in advance — visits take place during designated visiting hours. If you'd like to visit the house or meet the team, reach out and we'll get it scheduled.
That's a real concern, and we take it seriously. RCVRY HOUSE is designed for men who are genuinely committed to their recovery — not men who are being pressured into it. If you're unsure whether he's ready, call us. We'll have an honest conversation about whether this is the right fit and the right time.
No. RCVRY HOUSE is a recovery residence — structured sober housing. We are not a licensed clinical program, we don't provide therapy or medical care, and we don't replace treatment. Participants are required to be actively enrolled in an outpatient program (PHP or IOP) while living here. We bridge the gap between treatment and independent living.
There's no fixed length of stay. Length of participation is individualized — we discuss an anticipated timeframe during admissions and review it as each participant progresses toward greater independence. Phase advancement is based on readiness, not a calendar.
Your Role
How Families Can Support Recovery
One of the most important things you can do is hold the line while continuing to hold hope. Your loved one needs to know that you believe in him, but supporting his recovery does not mean protecting him from every difficult choice or consequence.
